The article only has references to primary sources and a dead link. Plus, when I did a WP:BEFORE about it I was unable to find the multiple in-depth reliable secondary sources the subject would need to pass either WP:GNG or WP:NORG. As an alternative to deletion the article could be merged or redirected to the article for the city where it's located, Gaborone. That seems to be the preferred thing to do with articles about non-notable schools. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 09:18, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. I've added a reference to a thesis which discussed the school. There are some references in school directories, though I'm not sure how reliable these are and whether inclusion is paid. But my main argument for keeping is that this is a secondary school, it exists, and therefore this from WP:WPSCH/AG applies: "In practice articles on high/secondary schools and school districts are usually kept, as they are almost always found to be notable, unless their existence cannot be verified in order to stop hoaxes". (I do realise this is a bit of a circular argument.) The article does need work to remove some unsourced trivia (I've taken the bit about the library competitions out).

- Thesis' don't really count for establishing notability. Also, like I said in my nomination the current precedent for high/secondary schools that can be proven to exist but still fail WP:GNG or WP:NORG, which so far this one seems to, is to merge or redirect it either the school districts article or the one for the town where it's located. Since a thesis that mentions it exists definitely isn't enough to pass WP:GNG or WP:NORG. So, sans anything that does pass either I still think a merge/redirect is the best option. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 22:10, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

- Delete: Per WP:NSCHOOL / WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES this article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NORG. WP:BEFORE revealed nothing that meets WP:SIGCOV. Sources in article are either unidentifiable dead links, primary or statistics. WP:WPSCH/AG is an essay and is contradicted by February 2017 RFC. // Timothy :: talk 12:07, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
