Bantul Mahakali High School[edit]

Notability! : This "article" was created 6 months ago, and its
- Sources provides only trivia, without any hint on what claims it may have to notability.
- Content (a one-liner) only tell where the school is geo-located.

Concerning the 3 sources in the article:
    R#1. http://www.schoolsworld.in/schools/showschool.php?school_id=19160405001
    R#2. http://www.icbse.com/schools/bantul-mahakali-high-school/19160405001
    R#3. https://freetutorial.in/schools/1282654 ; The "Description" there, is clearly auto-generated from its own listed trivia.
All 3 provides only trivia; Nothing to support notability.

This article is in violation of WP:NRV ; Existence is not notability.

Note, to clarify: I'm not opposed to redirecting, but didn't suggest any redirection; and that simply because I don't have any suggestions.
I'd rather leave the compiling of suggestions to those who already got a firm grip on schools in India.

Redirect per policy - but DexterPointy you are too new around here to know about our policies. There was also a recent RfC in which the only concrete piece of consensus was that users should refrain from trawling through category Schools looking for articles to list at AfD. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:14, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kudpung: You're only partly correct, because:
I'm blissfully unaware about any such recent RfC, and any redirect policy for schools.
But, I did not trawl any category ("Schools" or any other). I simple encountered this article at random (I can't remember where I found a link to it), and ended up realising that an AfD would be appropriate (which I obviously created, namely this AfD). -- DexterPointy (talk) 13:27, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kudpung: Hold on, I think I may have misread you. Are you saying there was a RfC about an existing redirect policy, or are you saying there was a RfC about creating a redirect policy? -- DexterPointy (talk) 13:39, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DexterPointy, neither. Redirecting rather than outright deletion for many kinds of articles is part of an older and stable policy. A recent RfC discussed school notability but while it did not reach any consensus it was stated once more that discussion about schools should not incite searches for school articles that may or may not meet GNG. I accept that you may have happened on this aricle at random. More on your talk page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:25, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the RfC concerned. For what it's worth, I disagree that it resulted in the conclusion that "discussion about schools should not incite searches for school articles that may or may not meet GNG". The wording was that "Editors should not flood AFD with indiscriminate or excessive nominations" (emphasis mine). Cordless Larry (talk) 19:34, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wot Larry sed. Also, it's seriously unbecoming of an administrator, to maintain such an aggressive demeanor towards anybody and everybody who happen to nominate a school-article for deletion. ∯WBG^converse 10:41, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Winged Blades of Godric: Indeed, Larry was most helpful. But as for Kudpung, you might want to read the spat I had with Kudpung, just to prepare yourself for what might be thrown at you. -- DexterPointy (talk) 11:44, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to List of High Schools in Howrah. Alternatively it could go to Bagnan II#Education as one of the 12 high schools in that area. Wherever list it is retargeted, it should be added as an entry. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:36, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Every school has enough history to allow {{Infobox school}} to be at least partially filled out, but the sources are not always available online. A good source of information about schools in India is UDISE, but it does not have a web-based search. You can download the necessary files for an offline search free of charge at http://udise.in/udise.html Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:18, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Bagnan_II#Education and also list the same at List of High Schools in Howrah --DBig Xray 11:16, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Bagnan_II#Education. Per this "Non-notable school articles are generally blanked and redirected to the school district's article (USA) or to an appropriate section on the article about its locality (rest of the world) and merging any appropriate content." --1l2l3k (talk) 18:07, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to any of the aforementioned pages above. One sentence is nothing. Unless the article is expanded significantly, this page has no useful information on it. The title gives the same amount of information as the entire page. Redditaddict69 (talk) 10:07, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
