Keep: ~~per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES#2.~~ On second thought, my arguments are better than this potentially controversial/outdated appeal to precedent.

The school is real1 2 3 and turns out to be a center of significant community activity and participation.4 5 6 The person the school is named after indeed appears to be a locally respected philanthropist.7 It appears in the news for its educational and sports achievements.8 9[2][10] This is enough reason to keep a publicly run secondary school, whose establishment date (within 10 years of Nepal's entry to modernity) suggests its one of the early schools in the country (safe to assume it's of special value to the local community). Here's some SIGCOV in news sites with editorial boards, not yet shown to be unreliable.10 (not sigcov but not mere mention)11 12

tldr: It's a community school that's real enough, big enough, potentially historically significant due to its age, covered enough for a third world school far away from the capital city. We should keep it. Regards! Usedtobecool ^TALK ✨ 07:48, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: per the excellent rationale by Usedtobecool, and based on very long standing precedent for government high schools. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:05, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: A notable school. More references can be added to support its notability. Doingitgimpy (talk) 07:48, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
