Keep: As an international school, it is exceptional in not following the local defined curriculum- passing the Notability test. National Curriculum Framework (NCF 2005) and National Education Policy 2020 refer. I add the usual caveats about being poorly written, missing sections and needing expansion.ClemRutter (talk) 09:03, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand we have some consensus guidelines for notability in Wikipedia. How come not following the National education policy makes it notable automatically with almost no significant references? Can you explain please? - The9Man ^(Talk) 11:01, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is an international school that goes through high school. Searching online shows many sources.--Hippeus (talk) 11:44, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you to share a few out of many. - The9Man ^(Talk) 13:32, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:NEXIST the onus is you to make the appropriate searches.Howdid you miss Education World India listing We here are not writing the article- just explaining it is of 'of note'. The schools specific guidelines just require that a school has one attribute that makes it different from every other school. That is offers IB, and not the contemporary Indian Provincial Curriculum or the UK National Curriculum is more than adequate. Help on the WP:WPSCHOOLS project is always welcome.ClemRutter (talk) 12:45, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have done my searches and didn't find 'many' reliable sources which has a significant coverage about the subject. I assusme you also done your searches and didn't find 'many' so ended up mentioning a directory site. A directory site (may) proves the existence but not notability (it has the listing of a preschool in my nearby corner which was closed 3 years ago).
However, if following the different curriculum makes a school automatically notable all this WP:RS arguments are invalid. If you could guide me where this is mentioned in Wikipedia it would be helpful for future, I think I have wasted my time focusing on WP:NSCHOOL. And thanks for the invitation as well. - The9Man ^(Talk) 14:29, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Those who find the sourcing should add it to the article. The meaning of verifiability is that information added to Wikipedia should be linked to the sources used, and we should not add information that is not sourced. If an article is under discussion for deletion and you come across relevant sourcing you should add it to the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:45, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As User:The9Man says, schools have to pass either WP:ORG or WP:GNG. If offering International Baccalaureate courses is such a remarkable thing for a school, where's all the sigcov about it? Zindor (talk) 03:29, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I sympathise with the nominator as the refs currently being used are absolutely rubbish. But I could easily find independent coverage that establishes the school's notability. Here's a Hindustan Times Top Schools survey ranking it the 2nd best international school in the city; an India Today story reporting on its pastoral system and support for kids during Covid (I assume not just any school is covered); in-depth coverage in The Print that says "Oberoi International School is considered one of India’s premier academies" citing EducationWorld survey (which btw is the only significant school survey in India) that ranked it 3rd in 2016-17 and second in 2017-18. And for 2019-20 on Education World website, it stands 2nd. I'm sorry, but there's a clear lack of WP:BEFORE. I have added the refs to the article.

Your effort is appreciable. I surely missed these. - The9Man ^(Talk) 12:06, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
