Was deprodded without rationale or improvement. Wholly uncited original research. A bit of the promotional material was deleted back in November, but then more was added after that. Way too much commentary and NPOV material.

Delete and start over.Comment. This might be notable (and perhaps unique) as a Filipino school in Oman, but the article needs to state its sources. That's a lot of text with not a single citation. I think it's up to
JCGDIMAIWAT (and anyone who wants to help) to find references, otherwise it must be deleted by WP policy
WP:OR. My delete vote is because it's been over a week with no progress on
WP:V.

Keep as a secondary school per longstanding consensus and precedent. Does have a source. Quality of the article is irrelevant to notability. --

What is this "source"? It seems to me that the article needs to be completely rewritten with "reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented" per
WP:OR. This requires someone willing to expend the time and effort. I looked for info online, found very little, so more research is required for
WP:V. Verifiability doesn't merely mean that the school probably exists, it "means that other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source." As is, the article fails core content policies. I've added the references that I found, but I can't tell if the school is notable with this small amount of verifiable information.

AfD is not cleanup! We do not bring articles here if they need to be rewritten, only if they are not on notable topics. As for sourcing, the school's website is a source, so claiming it is unsourced is completely untrue. It may be poorly sourced, but that is not the same thing. There is obviously enough here for a stub, even if the rest of the article needs to be deleted. --

Delete as completely unsourced. If someone wants to put the work in and can demonstrate that this school has been the subject of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, then I could support recreation, but this isn't the place for original research.

Comment. I cited some of the information, and removed a section that seemed entirely unverifiable and non-notable original research.

Keep. afairly good article , with enough sources to show both existence and importance. We almost always keep secondary schools with a real existence, and there is no reason why this one should be an exception DGG (

Keep per the sources found by Arxiloxos. Clearly meets GNG whatever your opinion of secondary schools is.
