College-preparatory course

Original research essay. No place on Wikipedia for this Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:39, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral since the great improvements have convinced me that this might be an encyclopedic topic now. Delete per nom--or per DICDEF. Drmies (talk) 22:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - this is an important component of the US education system and has been since the 19th century. It is also controversial as can be seen in the discussion in this work. The page was properly tagged for improvement but sending it to AfD 6 minutes after creation is, frankly, wholly premature. This is an encyclopaedic concept that should be sourced and expanded not deleted. TerriersFan (talk) 23:21, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per TerriersFan. First, give the article a chance. Second, being a big cornerstone of the U.S. education system, it should have no problem finding reliable secondary sources establishing notability of these types of courses offered at American high schools.

 * Ugh, horrible article. But keep, since it's actually a very important part of the US educational system. In the unlikely (but not unfortunate) case that the article is deleted, it should be recreated. CRGreathouse (t | c) 05:55, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit: And if it's that new, it shouldn't be taken to AfD anyway. (That would explain the quality issues.) CRGreathouse (t | c) 05:56, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Darned if you ain't right. It was tagged for deletion 6 minutes after it was created. Just a touch to pre-emptive perhaps? No disrespects to the nom, but that's kind of a tough way for a new editor to be welcomed.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. Afterboth (talk) 12:36, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep this stub and rescue it. It's a perfectly good idea. Bearian (talk) 19:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs work but definetely informative. Descibes a definite demarcation within the USA's educational system. College prep, technical, honors, magnet, and more are specific in their education curriculum and studentbody. If, in fact, this article was 6 minutes old when it was put up for deletion someone is misinterpreting article deletion requirements.--Buster7 (talk) 07:21, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as a notable part of the education process. I have added sources and tagged it for expansion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:04, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Snow keep, I was partially hoping for some hoax concept or weird computer program of the same title, but no, it's just the same boring concept that is well entrenched in US high-schools to propel students towards college institutions. This is clearly notable and clearly sources exist so all that remains is regular editing. -- Banj e  b oi   17:37, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
