It seems that the name of the school changed a while back. It is now called Loyola Institutions or Loyola Pre-University College in Vijayapur. The address remains the same. The website is loyolainstitutions.org. There probably will be Kannada websites that mention the school. Cardofk (talk) 09:40, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have you found any significant coverage from independent sources under the newer name? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:02, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have you? Cardofk (talk) 13:48, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look but wasn't able to find any

Thank you, just now, after finding that there was nothing in English, I put the name in Kannada, got ಲೊಯೊಲಾ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳು, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ, and a few pages of results, but I have no way of knowing whether those media sites that emerged were reliable. Cardofk (talk) 19:07, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would it mess up the AfD template if I rename the article? Cardofk (talk) 19:27, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It does, unfortunately. If it is kept, then please do the renaming after the AfD concludes. If it is deleted, you may wish to rename the school at List of Jesuit educational institutions and List of schools in India#Karnataka and any other place in which it is mentioned.

Relisting comment: Lots of comments but reading through them it's not clear what you want to happen with this article. And, yes, please do not rename an article that is being discussed at AFD, it messes up our closing/relisting tool, XFDCloser.

• Delete - it seems to me that the current consensus on schools is that they are not notable unless we can find very significant sources that discuss them at length. Which almost inevitably means 99% of school pages are not notable. JMWt (talk) 08:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It doesn't help that a lot seem to be created in an unsourced or barely sourced state and created by SPAs. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 09:09, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I am still in favour of deletion as I am unable to find any decent sources for this institution. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:12, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
