Article containing bad grammar and reads like an advertisement, has had cleanup tags for a year and no attempt has been made to remedy the article The tim (talk) 22:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - the nomination contains no grounds for deletion. Certainly the page needs a thorough clean but that is no reason to delete. International schools are unusual and therefore generally notable. We have little enough coverage of education in Pakistan and deleting one of the few pages we have doesn't seem like a great idea. TerriersFan (talk) 03:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete: no attempt has been made to clean this up for too long, it appears it will never be cleaned and needs a fresh start. 203.109.169.70 (talk) 09:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - which, again, is not a valid deletion ground. TerriersFan (talk) 11:45, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I'm a bit concerned about sourcing. I can't find a school web site and I'm not yet sure about the reliability of the Web sites I've seen in a Google results list. Pakistani schools are important subjects, and we should try to provide sources. The school is located in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. Along with Waziristan, that's the Worldwide Headquarters of Islamic terrorism today. Religious schools (madrassas) have been an important way radical ideas have spread in that region, so this school might be an important counter to that. It's also the kind of institution that gets targeted by terrorists. I'll be looking for reliable sources, and I hope others do, too. Noroton (talk) 18:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - As a start, I have stripped the page down by removing the ad material and added material and independent sources to meet WP:N. The problem with searches is that the school is referred to in a variety of contractions of its full name for example Mansehra Public School and others.

• Keep I'm impressed with TerriersFan's work. I've looked at the sources, one of which I had doubts about before, and they appear to be reliable. The objections to the article have been overcome. Noroton (talk) 06:02, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Thanks to the work of TerriersFan this article easily meets the criteria for article inclusion. We need more articles on schools in Pakistan like this. 13:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dahliarose (talk • contribs)
