I took the liberty of changing your speedy deletion tag for the above-captioned article into an AfD. I just wanted you to know that I agreed with your instinct 100% that this article was suitable for deletion, and it surely looked like a small heap of nonsense, but unfortunately I had to agree with the article's creator (who might be a child) that the speedy category specifically says it doesn't apply to schools. You can see the AfD and note that I mentioned that this doesn't seem very like a school to me, but I thought I'd bend over backwards to do it justice. My apologies for second-guessing you; if you have any questions or problems, I'm at your service. Accounting4Taste: talk 21:15, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your note. As I said, I sympathize, because the article seemed ripe for deletion by any means.  My own personal feeling is that the agreement that schools are not subject to the "non-notable group/company" rules tends to encourage young people to contribute articles on their own schools to Wikipedia; although these articles are not generally very useful or widely used, I think young people get an introduction to contribution that way and may actually go on to usefully support Wikipedia.  That being said, I think this particular one was a borderline case, is likely a commercial establishment rather than a state- or charter-supported one, and that's why I went with an AfD.  Sometimes, alas, we have to take the long route when a shorter one is visible but inappropriate.  Accounting4Taste: talk 22:01, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

You just gave a final warning to User:Regieg1; I have the distinct impression that this could be a block-evader. See the history for Marietta High School and a blocked IP's contributions. Just to let you know--I'm not suggesting a course of action. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 18:45, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
