Three articles about non-notable schools. The first school which is the namesake of the nomination only has passing mentions and from what I could find the most mentions of it mostly relates to the Devyani Khobragade incident. While the American Embassy School came under controversy from this, it doesn't really pass basic GNG and notability concerning schools. The two other school articles I'm nominating, American International School Chennai and American School of Bombay, also fail GNG with articles available online making passing mentions of them. Even the United States State Department pages for these schools is nothing more than just a basic overview of the curriculum. Nothing about the history of the schools. Although, one would assume the U.S. government page for it would have more details as they normally do for everything else on their website, but unfortunately, they don't. -- WikiCleanerMan ( talk) 17:43, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

- Delete: There is one good New York Times reference, but apart from that it really needs more independent reliable sources. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 06:41, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - I agree with User:Deathlibrarian, I found some sources that mentions the name of the school or student but those can't be used as reference for this article though. VincentGod11 ( talk) 13:33, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- Weak keep: I added media coverage of the school, including an India Times article [1] that states it's one of the most elite private schools in Delhi. This article has also been around for 16 years - so I took a little extra time to hunt for coverage, to see how this might have survived for so long if it wasn't at least somewhat notable. Two things keeping this from being a full keep are that most of the coverage was in the wake of the 2014 visa scandal (1E), and that few of the people listed as famous alumni have coverage of the school in their own articles. But apples to apples, I don't even have to look to see if the most elite secondary school in NY City has an article. Let's go Mets! TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 19:16, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- Weak delete I mean, there's a few references. I'm not to solid on the one from India Today though. Since it's like a few short paragraphs about the school and then veers off into some off topic stuff about relations between India and the United States and embassy or something that has nothing to do with the school. So it seems to be more an article about the embassy where the school is located being told in to shut all commercial activities then it is the school. Which doesn't mean the school is notable because it's mentioned in an article about the embassy. Anymore then an article about a mall closing that mentions which stores went out of business has to do with the businesses. Anyway, I'm on the weak delete side though because there is the other reference and someone could probably argue it's worth keeping based on that and the about two paragraphs that are probably salvageable from the India Today article. It's barely not enough for me though. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 04:52, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
