 * Delete - The page is about a small unnotable country school whose been in the newspaper once for a regional award. To top it off, the "Nominated Moderator" from the school is threatening legal action and constantly vandalising the page to remove negative comments about the school. The page itself is poorly written and a stub that's seen no desire to be expanded upon in the last 3 years except by the "Nominated Moderator" who continually replaces the entire contents of the page with the school's prospectus, turning it into an advert. - Count23 (talk) 23:45, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree that the page should be deleted as it is continually vandalised by an individual who inserts irrelevant negative comments about the school. I would like to free up this individuals time to focus on meaningful pursuits.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.161.8 (talk) 05:29, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment This comment is posted from the IP address that is known to be the "nominated moderator" from the school. Whose vandalism includes exactly what was mentioned above by Count23 on no less then 15 previous edits. - 15.195.201.88 (talk) 06:13, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, Possible Merge The school is rather insignificant in terms of even local education in Australia. Not notable at all as mentioned above. In regards to the anonymous IP submission here, it should be noted that this is one of several IP addresses from the school who are constantly whitewashing the page and replacing it with copyright information that was copy+pasted from the school's own website. An admin should look into blocking these IP ranges from making submissions on wikipedia because of actions which contradict WP:CENSOR . - 121.44.242.219 (talk) 08:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Obviously significant enough, for you to have attended it and to have an obsession with it. We support deletion of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.161.8 (talk) 00:07, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Please read WP:NPA, do not attack the user submitting the content, attack the content directly. Personal attacks aren't tolerated on wikipedia and you may be blocked if it continues. While you, as a representative of the college may support deleting this page, you need to have a reason that is supported by Wikipedia's deletion policy. The comments you have made indicate you wish the page deleted simply because it portrays you in a negative light, this is more likely to result in the page remaining and simply being locked to prevent you from editing it. - Count23 (talk) 01:05, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Please also, as the anonymous user suggested, re-read WP:CENSOR. Wikipedia is not a place where you can simply hide the sins of the past. - Count23 (talk) 01:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I support deletion of this page. If there is such angst over what should be on it and not, then it is not serving anyone's purposes. It is just a place for a local dispute and our community does not need that. Delete away! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edward John 2560 (talk • contribs) 05:59, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The sole reference lead to a page not found. Prsaucer1958 (talk) 20:17, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per the established precedent of keeping verifiable secondary schools. This gets the same sorts and quantity of Google and Google news hits as almost all other such schools; if there are problems with the editing of the article, they can be dealt with through protection, blocks, or whatever other means may be appropriate.

 * Keep - Assuming content can be verified. High schools are considered inherently notable.Minnowtaur (talk) 04:43, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This place was extensively covered by Architecture Australia: ''Urbanity in the Suburbs. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:08, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes. Secondary schools are generally notable. It's odd that I can't access the website for this school, but it is mentioned in a few references and Colonel Warden's reference (and a few others if you Google it) serves to satisfy WP:V. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 22:13, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Pdcook - high schools are almost always kept, especially when they can be verified by good sources. See also my standards, for which this school meets 7 out of 9 factors. Bearian (talk) 22:55, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment If it is kept, someone is going to need to flag this for cleanup by the wikischools project because it's been just a badly written article for over 3 years. It will also need regular checks to ensure that vandals or the "Nominated Moderator" are not constantly trying to whitewash it. - 121.44.129.73 (talk) 12:23, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
