Delete: I found some local coverage of this school, but that was not in sufficiently reliable publications to establish notability. Actualcpscm (talk) 12:25, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Most of the hits in gnews are from the local paper "Sunraysia Daily" as per WP:AUD. Fails WP:NSCHOOL. LibStar (talk) 00:08, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Are we really saying that a large, century-old secondary school in a western country has no sources, not even printed ones? I really cannot believe that. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't you look for some? I could find mainly coverage in very local press. LibStar (talk) 12:17, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I said print sources, not online sources. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:34, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, it‘s neither particularly big, nor does it seem to be very special in any other specific way. I‘m not sure that the fact that it‘s old by itself guarantees that appropriate sources exist. Actualcpscm (talk) 15:38, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nearly 1,000 pupils is hardly small! -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:42, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The size is irrelevant, what is relevant is how it meets WP:NSCHOOL. LibStar (talk) 12:51, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I could not find any reliable sources via Newsstream (database of Australia & New Zealand newspapers-- wider and deeper than Google), just many passing and routine mentions like this but nothing substantive that would meet GNG.
