• Keep. High schools are generally notable. --Eastmain (talk) 19:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment - Really? Not according to Wikipedia:Notability (schools). --Triwbe (talk) 06:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

which is a a proposed Wikipedia guideline, and above is one of the discussed points.--Tikiwont (talk) 08:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

• The current article has no sources, not even a home page and hardly any content. I am not sure about the outcome of your research, but can we verify that it exists? And if so, can it currently be more than a redirect to Gokarna (See also Wikipedia:Notability_(schools)#Failure_to_establish_notability)? --Tikiwont (talk) 09:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
• Withdrawn - I wanted to test Wikipedia:Notability (schools), it is needed IMO as there are already thousands of school articles of this class and potentially millions, but this is not the way. --Triwbe (talk) 09:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I am not sure what you mean with 'testing' but this particular article has problems. My own Google search barely convinces me of its existence, and WP:SCHOOLS can of course be quoted and provide advice for cases, namely pointing at an alternative editorial solution if there isn't anything to write about, so I'd say redirect to Gokarna for now. Whether presumed notable or not, WP:V is still an applicable policy here. --Tikiwont (talk) 10:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - there have always been major sourcing problems with schools in India and the surrounding region since, in the main, they do not have web sources and we therefore have to rely on local searches since it is important to avoid systemic bias. However, I agree that to meet WP:V we need to confirm the existence of the subject and I have added a source to do this. I have also found a notable alumnus.

Fine, I even declined speedy for one of the notable alumni without making the connection.--Tikiwont (talk) 20:02, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Keep though the sourcing for this one remains below par, DGG (talk) 01:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
