It doesn't meet WP:GNG. WP:NHS says "Like any other topic, articles on schools must be able to meet notability standards". This doesn't as yet. Mr T(Talk?) [{{fullurl:User_talk:Mrt3366|action=edit§ion=new&preload=User_talk:Mrt3366/new_section}} (New thread?)] 08:45, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

  • MergeKeep I have found three newspaper references to verify that the school exists: [http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/Christmas-was-celebrated-in-Woodlands-House-School-where-Children-were-taught-the-significance-of-the-festival-by-putting-up-a-tableau-of-birth-of-Jesus-Christ-/articleshow/11207715.cms], [http://www.risingkashmir.in/news/where-liquor-gets-better-of-law-20217.aspx], [http://www.risingkashmir.in/news/65-crack-matric-exam-5287.aspx] --Anbu121 (talk me) 12:37, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment. Certainly appears to exist, but often called Woodland House School in sources. As it is a verified secondary school, it should be kept, but the actual name needs to be established and it needs to be merged with Woodlands House School (Boy's Wing) into a single article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:29, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Keep: per Anbu121 - Ret.Prof (talk) 15:27, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete. The school has not attracted significant coverage in secondary reliable sources, as required by WP:GNG. Its mere existence is not sufficient to show its notability. The references cited above are passing mentions and fail WP:CORPDEPTH, which applies to schools. If the result is keep, which I think it shouldn't be, there certainly isn't enough coverage of the girls' wing to make it independently notable of the boys' wing and thus the two articles should be merged. I did a search and could find no further examples of significant coverage. --Batard0 (talk) 08:04, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Merge with Boy's wing and rename to Woodlands House School. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES says secondary/high schools are almost always notable, but not convinced we need 2 articles on 1 school. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:23, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - The "Girl's Wing" in particular does not seem to pass WP:GNG. The school itself might pass it (although I am not sure the references Anbu121 noted confirm even the school meets WP:GNG), but not this wing. If there were an article on the school itself, maybe a redirect would be ok, but there is not. Hoppingalong (talk) 01:09, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Merge both girl's and boy's wings pages into a unified school page. While insufficient sources seem to be applied on either article at this time, we normally keep articles on verified secondary schools as inherently notable, presuming that such sources will eventually present themselves for use.
