[edit] G D Goenka Public School

Tagged as PROD but referred here. I believe schools to be worthy of inclusion regardless of geographic location and vote to Keep. — Phil Welch Are you a fan of the band Rush? 00:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, but rewrite. Royboycrashfan 00:52, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, established school, and helps to counteract systemic bias. Kappa 00:55, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, I'd like to read about indian schools, but this article has no content except POV asskissing. " fountainhead of knowledge, education and sport." " It offers all the eminities and facilities that a modern school could possibly only imagine." Misspelled asskissing at that. Night Gyr 00:56, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Phil, you are under no obligation to send it here when you remove the PROD tag. Indeed it is a little pointless, since the outcome of this debate is inevitably keep (either outright or no-consensus). --Doc ^ask? 00:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I haven't been to AfD in awhile so I didn't know. I knew that schools were generally keeps, but I didn't know that non-US schools were. Someone should feel free to speedy keep in awhile if that's the case. — Phil Welch Are you a fan of the band Rush? 01:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't believe being in the US or not is very relevant. This is the English language wikipedia, and English is an important language in India. --kingboyk 01:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep per User:Night Gyr --kingboyk 01:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Kappa. Dlyons493 Talk 02:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Phil Lyo 05:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: I was the original prodder, not knowing that there appears to be a general "keep" consensus for schools. It still seems to me that a completely generic school (in whatever county), with nothing to distinguish it from hundreds like it, is no more notable and inclusion-worthy than a generic road, tree, house, etc. As to systemic bias, I wasn't aware that this ought to be a notability consideration - or do we now have an "affirmative action" policy for non-Western content? -- Sandstein 07:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• This appears to be an English language fee-paying school (a Public School in the sense used in England rather than America, I feel), and therefore does have some note and separation beyond that of the immediate geographical location. As such, and given that the article states the school advertises in in-flight magazines, it would appear to be more notable than the average school, and therefore may well warrant an article in its own right, so weak keep. If not, I would suggest that the Vasant Kunj article is expanded to detail the schools in the suburb further. Average Earthman 15:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The annual school fees are close to ten times the average annual income in India. Whether one is for or against this, I feel it's a degree of notability. Dlyons493 Talk 17:06, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 15:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per nominator (don't get to use that phrase very often!) and Dlyons493's observation regarding fees. Turnstep 20:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Does not establish notability and, regardless of their location, schools are not inherently notable. Cedars 01:28, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Needs big cleanup & rewrite, but not deletion. --Wingsandsword 08:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - notable, and apparently more so than most of the American high schools with articles. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-02-06 22:13Z
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Silensor 23:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable and therefore not related to "systemic bias." If, in all likelihood, kept, do not expand with transient and non-notable information for the sake of expansion. -— Rebelguys2 ^talk 02:35, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• 'keep and please help stop the bias Yuckfoo 19:29, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per nom. Siva1979 09:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
