City High School, Nairobi

 * – ( View AfD View log )

School indicated closed in 1995 in web site referenced in article Chris55 (talk) 23:56, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 1. That "source" you added was a Worldlingo site that is a mirror of Wikipedia. 2. Notability is not temporary: if it was notable before it closed, it is notable now. 3. High schools are generally considered notable. That said, we've not yet verified the school exists and was opened by the Sharma family, which I'm not finding easy.

 * Ah, could be derived from List of schools in Kenya article where it has been flagged for some time. I know nothing about the school - was just doing cleanups when I came across it and thought something should be done about it. The entry in List of Schools was added by IP 71.149.142.85 also on 2 Feb 2007 (same date as this article was created). Whether this is the same as user:Karaoo I don't know. You could ask them.

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:12, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep If this 20-year old (as of 2009) went there it can't have closed in 1995. Either way it exists or existed, and so the article should be retained. I'm not convinced about the policy of automatically regarding High Schools as notable, but given that's what we do, and we have articles on American high schools that might not pass the gneral notability guidelines, to exclude this one on that basis would only contribute to Wikipedia's systemic bias. --Pontificalibus (talk) 17:32, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - There are still a lot of holes in the story of this school, but the article now cites several sources and lists 3 notable alumni (not even including that 20-year-old who attended a school by this name). The school looks notable. --Orlady (talk) 04:44, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep article appears notable, is useful for countering systemic bias. --Cerebellum (talk) 11:57, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep schools are notable and this one existed. Chris55 (talk) 16:44, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - high school; notable; we should await a search for local sources which always exist for high schools. TerriersFan (talk) 19:00, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
