Non-notable school CTJF83 20:28, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

This is a duplicate article - one already exists on Wikipedia at Parle Tilak Vidyalaya English Medium School. I suggest the AfD is cancelled, and the smaller AfD-nominated article is simply blanked and redirected to the larger one. This is a primary school, not a secondary school. I would support deletion and suggest that information on the school instead be included in the parent article Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association. --Simple Bob ^{a.k.a.

There exist two separate, independently functioning institute buildings of Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Marathi Medium. one is Primary section and the other one is secondary. also there exist a separate, independently functioning institute buildings of Parle Tilak Vidyalaya English Medium. I can proove this by providing 3 separate photos of these buildings. I beg some time for that. - Saurabh Lad — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saurabh Lad (talk • contribs) 17:31, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

• Keep - well-established high school and as such this article should be expanded and not deleted. Internet coverage is poor in such parts of Asia so, to avoid systemic bias, time should be given for local sources to be researched and added. TerriersFan (talk) 02:50, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
  • It is grades 5-10...perhaps I'm confused on how Indian schools are? CTJF83 03:26, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
• Keep It's a secondary school and such should be included. However, maybe the name should be changed to Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Marathi Medium School to make it comparable to what appears to be its sister school, Parle Tilak Vidyalaya English Medium School. BTW don't be fooled by the word "medium" in the name; that doesn't mean it's some kind of middle school. It means that the medium of instruction - the language - is Marathi for this school, and English for its sister school. "Medium" meaning language of instruction is a common way for Indian schools to identify themselves. --MelanieN (talk) 03:58, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
