Delete. Schools are not normally notable and this one is not an exception.--Bduke (talk) 00:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Could someone please search for Bengali-language references that could be added to this article? Searching for references in the appropriate language is an important part of WP:BEFORE. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:51, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've trimmed the unsourced content and added an independent source. Questions were asked in parliament about the school,[1] (before independence, when it was run by the Pakistan Air Force) but I can't see the answers in Google snippet view, and won't be able to consult the printed source before this AfD closes. Recommend merging BAF Saheen College Hockey Field into this article. Separately, each is weak, notability-wise; they would be better together. If there's no consensus for keep, redirect to the enclosing community, Dhaka Cantonment as an alternative to deletion. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:35, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid that the Bangladesh Air Force, because it is closely affiliated to the subject, is not an independent source. Dege31 (talk) 14:29, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The source added by Worldbruce is a primary source which lacks independence. As such, it doesn't count. None of the sources in the article demonstrate independent significant coverage. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NORG.4meter4 (talk) 20:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep generally per Worldbruce; especially considering the merge in option. SIGCOV/GNG passed. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 23:58, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Worldbruce.Seddiq Sabri 20:38, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep, very prominant instition in Bangladesh. -Afifa Afrin (talk) 18:20, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to BAF Saheen College Hockey Field or Dhaka Cantonment. The article itself has no significant coverage in the sources that are independent of the subject. There is coverage of some events related to the subject, like The Daily Star's article on the student reunion, but not the subject itself. Fails general notability guidelines.
