  • Delete as promotional. Infobox even lists a student who created the page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:52, 9 August 2018 (UTC) updated 13:50, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Promotional verbiage and information has been scrubbed from the article. Question is now whether the school of grade 1 to 8 still has enough to retain or merge to the DAV schools. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:50, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Eastmain, it looks like the school supposedly offers classes up to 10th grade (X), but there currently aren't any students yet as reported in Class IX-X or XI-XII. [1] [2] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:05, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Always been unsure about school notability, as it seems to almost be enough for it to exist, at least from the few times I have AFD'd schools. It looks like there is as much notability here as for others we have kept, yet my gut tells me none of them (including this) should be. So whilst my heart says delete my Wikilawyer say keep.Slatersteven (talk) 09:53, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Existence of this government secondary school is proven. There is nothing promotional about it - it is not a commerce. And AngusWOOF, unsurprisingly, the article was createed by a student - most school articles are created by their teachers, students, or alumni.

Wouldn't that flag as COI right away (which it is)? It's no longer promotional now that we scrubbed it. Question is now whether it offers high school level education or is it still a junior high equivalent since there are only students reported up to the eighth grade. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:44, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've tagged the article's talk page for connected contributor. When the originator created the article, he had also created a vanity page for himself (since AFDed and Salted) where he said he is a student of the school. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:40, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep sadly. The level of notability of schools is ridiculously low, but this seems to meet it. It needs to be kept at basically a stub level until the sourcing improves and I'm not sure the article creator gets that. Ravensfire (talk) 16:27, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, Depressing !vote section here. It seems that the WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES RfC might as well have not happened. Is 'it exists' really all that is required for a secondary school? — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 05:11, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a high school. We keep high schools for very good reasons; not only do they influence the lives of thousands of people but they also play a significant part in their communities. Expansion not deletion is the way to go with such stubs. We need to avoid systemic bias and allow time for local hard-copy and local language sources to be investigated. No reason to think that sources cannot be found to meet WP:ORG. Just Chilling (talk) 17:12, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to DAV Public School, Waidhan, if kept, as the official name of the school. Just Chilling (talk) 17:37, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete is a secondary school a secondary school if it doesn't have any student in 9th-12th grades? No. The only references are their own site and official lists of schools, which demonstrate existence but not notability. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:59, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
