i believe this article is not notable. the most notable about this article is it is the "other" science high school beside Manila Science High School(it is first of country, that article is ok, but not this one). ----modern_primat ඞඞඞ TALK 22:49, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I understand your point, but notability on Wikipedia is not determined by comparison to another topic (for example, Manila Science High School). Each subject is evaluated on its own independent merits per the WP:GNG.
    Rajah Soliman Science and Technology High School is a government-established national science high school, formally recognized under Republic Act No. 8843. That demonstrates clear encyclopedic and institutional significance, even if the article currently lacks extensive independent coverage.
    The problem here is under-sourcing, not non-notability. The topic is real, verifiable, and educational in nature — it simply needs more references. Per WP:DRAFTIFY and WP:ATD, moving this to '''Draft space''' for improvement would be a more constructive outcome than deletion. Additional reliable sources (e.g., from DepEd or local news) can likely be added with further research. Acrom12 (talk) 09:15, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify or Keep. The subject is a legitimate and verifiable public science high school in Manila, established and recognized by Republic Act No. 8843, which is a national law. As a government-founded science high school, the topic is inherently encyclopedic and comparable to other public secondary institutions with similar designations. While the article currently lacks sufficient independent secondary coverage to clearly satisfy WP:GNG, the presence of official legislation and verifiable existence under the Department of Education make this a real, notable topic in scope for Wikipedia. The issue is under-sourcing, not non-notability. Per WP:DRAFTIFY and alternatives to deletion, moving this to Draft space for improvement would be more constructive than deletion. Reliable local or educational sources could likely be added with further research. Deletion would erase potentially valid encyclopedic content on an existing institution.Acrom12 (talk) 09:11, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Redirect to San Nicolas, Manila. It fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Being established via legislation, which is virtually true for all public schools in the Philippines, arent a reason to keep an article. A private school of the same scale and sourcing would be easily deleted.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 11:39, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No consensus here yet. We have four different outcomes proposed and have to narrow down that number.
