School headmaster doesn't seem to meet WP:NBIO - lacks in-depth coverage in independent sources. MrsSnoozyTurtle 08:59, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep He's a former headmaster of The Doon School, which is the Indian equivalent of Eton College or Philips Exeter /Andover Academy. If you even open that page, you will realize why the headmaster has his own page. There is a reason why this article has existed for a decade and a half, and been restored after having been deleted by another user. If this article is deleted, then all pages of Eton headmasters should also be deleted. Ranban282 (talk) 10:19, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I participated in the previous AFD years ago which ended in keep. Milowent found clear evidence of the notability of this person, then everyone who participated afterwards agreed with the sources found and said to keep it. The Times of India called him renowned educationist John Mason [1] and "legendary teacher, John Mason" [2] Dream Focus 11:21, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:NACADEMIC #6 - headmaster at Doon School for 7 years. "Renowned" and "legendary", synonymous with "notable". -- GreenC 18:50, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
