The result was   keep. I would also point out that, as DGG states, we have been systematically including schools with a lower notability threshold then other pages. In this particular case there are also several notable alumni origionating from this school, which is another indication that the school itself is notable. The combination of these two, along with the clear keep majority, leads me to believe this should be kept. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 13:29, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

 * There's no school district, it's a private catholic high school in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada. I'm translating from the French article since Collège Antoine-Girouard was often cited in the English Wikipedia. --Gregory.lussier (talk) 14:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Gregory, thanks for your work on the article, but please don't remove the AfD tag. The admin who closes this discussion will do so. Thanks. — Satori Son 15:57, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Long list of notable alumni there. Refs would be nice, but I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt for the time being. Doc Quintana (talk) 15:02, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as for all high schools, we we consistently for the last 3 years or so have judged notable as a general although informal guideline. This particulr one is undoubtedly specially notable, judging by the alumni list,. DGG ( talk ) 20:00, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - WP:NHS contains the arguments for keeping high schools. In addition, there are sufficient sources available to meet WP:ORG. This is a historic school with an unusually large number of notable alumni. TerriersFan (talk) 01:32, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. In addition to the usual generic arguments, there are 1,780 hits of the school's current name (mainly in French) at Google News Archives, demonstrating substantial coverage; and it is 200 years old, which ought to count for something.--Arxiloxos (talk) 02:11, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if I can post this here, but I have some references. I guess it's difficult to justify each and every notable student, but their Wikipedia page already stated they studied at the Séminaire de Saint-Hyacinthe. I only added those who had their own English Wikipedia page. I don't really understand why the English page is pending deletion. I have created the French page years ago, which has been approved and modified over the time to comply the exact same rules. There is a number of independant references stating the existence and importance of that high school, which are obviously in French since it's an article about a French high school in the most French-speaking city of the province of Quebec (Saint-Hyacinthe, QC) --Gregory.lussier (talk) 16:55, 8 May 2010 (UTC):
