This article is not noteworthy enough for an article on Wikipedia. Said subject is only taught in one school. Torrent01 (talk) 01:37, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is no evidence that this is a generally recognised category. Searches for sources indicate that the expression is entirely or almost entirely restricted to one high school exam syllabus (though my impression is that it is an exam taken by a number of schools, rather than just one school). In any case there does not seem to be substantial coverage (if any coverage) of it as a subject in its own right, as opposed to just the title of that school syllabus.

Comment. Incidentally, I am puzzled as to why Torrent01 has created this AfD, since he or she removed a PROD to do so. If he/she thinks that the article should be deleted then why not just leave the PROD in place? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 09:25, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Actually this subject seems to be a standard part of Indian curriculum for computer science. Google search shows 175,000 hits, with another 11,000 for the singular "Informatic Practices" including non-Indian articles [1]. So it's clearly not taught at just one high school. Two high schools with WP articles link to the page: St. Norbert School Indore and The Abu Dhabi Indian School ‎ —Мандичка^YO 😜 10:02, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The original PROD was many years old (2009!), and I figured that re-tagging it as a plain old AFD would make more sense, as well as give the situation more attention. Torrent01 (talk) 19:24, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
