Non-notable school, the references look plentiful but the sources cited are either primary or only passing mentions; therefore fails WP:GNG / WP:ORG. This has been deleted before, so may need salting as well. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 21:03, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was deleted because I failed to provide references and citations on time. I am still working on the article to meet Wikipedia's guidelines. There have been plenty of similar schools across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, etc. that have a Wikipedia article and their notability wasn't questioned even though they rarely made any headlines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamza Ahmad Wiki Scientist (talk • contribs)

Two things: 1) you should provide references and citations and generally meet the guidelines before publishing, not publish first and then race against time trying to avoid deletion; and 2) WP:other stuff exists is not a valid argument in and of itself.

Comment: A page entitled Yara International School (created by the same editor) was deleted at AfD in 2018. A newly-created and unreferenced article under the present title was moved to draft on 13 March 2021, and then the present article was created on 17 March 2021.

I believe that the article about the school Yara International School, Riyadh is already notable on search engines with numerous websites discussing the school. The school has also got many coverages by the Saudi press as I have provided citations for evidence. The school is apparently famous for having both Indian and British curriculum, making it one of the few schools in Riyadh to make that claim.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamza Ahmad Wiki Scientist (talk • contribs)

Delete somehow looks promotional and lacks any major event to lend to its notability. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 14:17, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And somehow there are enough citations to prove that the school is too important to ignore. User:Hamza Ahmad Wiki Scientist (talk)
