Fails WP:NSCHOOL and WP:GNG. There is no WP:SIGCOV: the only few source mentions are non-independent (adverts or listings) (see Careers 360 icbse) and the school's website which is a primary source (Sreepuram). Based on this, and the lack of any other coverage, the school likely fails WP:N.

Furthermore, the current page reads as an advert and the majority of the page just states the number of times the school was viewed on a review website ("...rated by 7 people on iCBSE", "...viewed 951 times by the visitors on iCBSE"). It is worth noting the majority of the content in this article was copy-pasted from the school website in 2013, and then removed (diff from 2013). Mxtt.prior (talk) 09:53, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per above. Also, the current content of the page attempts to advertise the school in a very blatant manner. Anton.bersh (talk) 10:34, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Additional Comment and update: it also appears the article was nominated for WP:CSD under WP:A1 for not meeting the requirements for a WP:STB in 2009. I can't tell what the outcome was. (see this talk page notice) Mxtt.prior (talk) 10:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I will say speedy delete. Purely written for promotional purpose. I still wonder why it was not deleted under CSD. Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 14:05, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Because Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion explicitly does not cover this, in boldface. Uncle G (talk) 22:14, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That should really be changed now that high schools are not inherently notable. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:29, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to say the same thing. If anyone asks why educational institutions need to be speediable, just show them this! --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:48, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete & salt This has had quite a 'colourful' history incl. two earlier deletions, so if this AfD results in third, probably worth protecting as well. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:59, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete & salt I totally agree with everyone else about this. The article is completely ridiculous and there's zero way to make it a quality article that would pass even the lowest notability bars because the sourcing just isn't there for it to. So, clearly, the article should be deleted. I'm also strongly on the side of salting it so it's not just uselessly recreated and sent back through the AfD process again. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:20, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
