 * Comment. If the existence of this high school can be verified then we should treat this article in the same way that we treat any other high school article. I think the Albanian for this would be "Gjimnazi Arben Broci", but none of the sources found by leap out as reliable. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:51, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. The initial searches were too restrictive. If you search for "Abren Broci" AND school AND Tirana then a wider range of hits shows up though it would take some time to sort through them all if anyone has the time. I did find a page here written in English. Gjimnazi sounds like the Albanian equivalent of Gymnasium - a selective school like the English grammar schools. The Albanian word for school seems to be shkollë. Dahliarose (talk) 15:24, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - the existence of this school is verified by the municipality website; now added to the page. Long-established precedent is that we keep verifiable high schools since experience shows that a diligent search for local sources invariably throws up sufficient sources to meet WP:OR.

 * Keep – agree with comments above. A further reference regarding its existence: which lists students receiving some sort of bursary in 2004, and includes a student from the school — Hebrides (talk) 07:09, 22 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. My understanding is that our convention is to keep all high schools/secondary schools if their existence as such is verifiable.  See, for example, the recent AFDs at AFD Guagua National Colleges (closed Feb. 11 as a keep), AFD Stonehill International School (closed Feb. 11 as a keep), and AFD Chandra Imam Ali High School & College (closed Jan. 11 as a keep).  I participated in all 3 AFDs, and from what I have seen over the past 2 or 3 months, it does appear to be the convention to keep high schools that are verifiable.  This high school, though its coverage is very light, is verifiable and should therefore be kept.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:12, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Verifiable secondary educational institutions are generally considered to be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:50, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
