DePRODed in August as it's a secondary school. I just stumbled on it in a backlog and moved it to a clearer title, but I cannot find any information under any of its past names to verify its existence let alone notability. I can't even find its website. There is no information worth merging to the town as it's the same pre-stubbed info including copy/pasted footnotes, and I'm not sure any of its article titles are redirect worthy.

• Courtesy ping Doghouse09 as PRODder and Necrothesp who removed the PROD. StarM 03:51, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect to Perumpilly, surely, under WP:ATD - no need for AfD (not sure the GF name change was particularly helpful). Ingratis (talk) 12:23, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia needs to stop having unsourced content. There are no sources here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:29, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
  • JPL, you've been around far longer than necessary to know that "no sources in the article" is not a reason to delete an article. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:45, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
• Comment Ingratis both prior names had the town name spelled incorrectly, hence the name change. Feel free to revert if you think it wasn't an improvement, but I think if we end up with a redirect consensus, local users searching for information on this school won't use a misspelling.

  • Thanks for the clarification - it looks from a quick Google search as though Perumpally is a common alternative spelling but I won't revert on that account. I did wonder why "Hail Mary (School)" rather than "Hail Mary School" (with or without town name). I did find a few sources which I'll add shortly, which seem to me enough to support a redirect, if not an independent article.Ingratis (talk) 00:43, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
    • Sources now added. Doubtless there are more in English, and I haven't attempted to search in Malayalam. Ingratis (talk) 01:22, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
    • Reply Thanks Ingratis (and apologies for name in my first reply to you). Re: your name comment, perhaps it's this move that was the issue. The prior name of Hail Mary Perumpally might be the better title/search term than Hail Mary English Medium School, Perumpally, which was where I found it. If the content is kept, figuring out this school's' name as rendered in English will be key. Out of curiosity, what's the GF acronym in "GF name change"? Not familiar with that. Thanks!

      • Thanks again. There is certainly a choice of nasme, but Hail Mary School, Perumpilly or -pally looks a good option to me. GF = "good faith"! All best, Ingratis (talk) 02:39, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect the original name as suggested. Bearian (talk) 16:18, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
• Not quite comfortable with a keep vote yet, but there are a few non-significant sources I've found for WP:V, and I'm pleased with the WP:HEY so far. SportingFlyer T·C 12:03, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and redirect Hail Mary School, Perumpilly Steven (Editor) (talk) 01:50, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
• Delete - Merge anything worth saving into Perumpilly. On a side note they have a facebook page with the name given as Hail Mary English Medium Higher Secondary School Perumpally. KylieTastic (talk) 16:45, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
