A religious secondary school. I CSD'd this as G11 but it was contested. The article does not meet GNG or WP:ORG, and appears promotional in nature. Sources in the article and BEFORE showed only database style listings, sites that do not meet WP:IS. // Timothy :: talk 18:42, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Draftify: The problem with this article is confusion between the works of a sacred organisation and the foundation and functions of a school to benefit the society. It should be moved back to draft, and heavily edited to show the purpose, benefits and notability of the school, outside of the references of the sacred organisation. -- Whiteguru ( talk) 12:44, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Sir, I am a beginner Wikipedia contributor. I did my best research for writing this school article. Basically, there are not so many articles available about this school on the internet. Only one article I found about this school from the (google book).
This school was established 1975 very old & well famous school in our city. Wikipedia like this type of content. Our Article is not promotional to any entity or organization nor this school supports any kind of religion. It is just based on the ideology of Sri Aurobindo & Mira Alfassa. This old school gives good education to the society. Like Integral education. Many students pass out from the school.
There is another school which is based on the same ideology which has a Wikipedia page -
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Aurobindo%27s_Rourkela_School
like the above-mentioned school, Matrubhaban School & college is also a Normal school. So, my humble request to not nominate/vote this article to be deleted. Also I am trying to improve my article. My hope u will approve my content. Rewrite Man ( talk) 18:38, 26 September 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rewrite Man ( talk • contribs) 18:12, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reply: Rewrite Man, I moved your comment down to the comments section, it was originally at the top of the nomination. I haven't altered the content of the comment in any way, just moved it to the proper place.
- Regarding the nomination, please read WP:GNG and WP:NORG. These are notability guidelines and they determine what subjects are considered appropriate for articles. The existence of another article doesn't impact the discussion here (see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS), but I did look at that article and did some research and it does not meet the guidelines above either. In the future you may wish to start your articles at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, when submitted they will be reviewed and the reviewer will let you know if the article meets notability or needs works. You can also ask questions at WP:TEAHOUSE. I hope this helps, please don't be discouraged, many articles are deleted. // Timothy :: talk 19:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment The current state of this article qualifies it for WP:TNT. Drafting wouldn't hurt either. Accesscrawl ( talk) 12:21, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. However, if the initial contributor thinks that there's some coverage offline, they may add it (if not today) – then draftify is my second opinion. ─ The Aafī ( talk) 19:56, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
