Transfer from prod as we seems to not have a definitive consensus on schools. Original prod reason is ''"Non-notable, unreferenced, POV. This is just another school - there is no assertion of notability and no internal evidence of it in the article. Why should it be in an encyclopedia? The article is written like an advert - serious POV issues." (User:Andyjsmith)''. -- KTC 01:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No sign of notability, and has nom suggests, has POV issues B figura  (talk) 03:41, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Why should it be in an encyclopedia? Why indeed.  Completely non-notable, highly self-promotional and self-congratulatory. Accounting4Taste 04:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's about time we did have a definite policy on schools, especially as a lot of WP users come from schools so the first thing they seem to do is copy promotional material from the school website! andy 07:37, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep: This was the middle school and possibly high school for Jordan Pruitt. I have also seen many other Schools that could be deemed "just another school" and with "no assertion of notability and no internal evidence of it in the article". Why have you brought this up on just this one school? &mdash; Supuhstar  *  §
 * Delete. Just because we have other articles on non-notable school does not mean we should have either this one or them. I don't know who Pruitt is and unless he/she is immensely important and the school is an important part of that fame and influence, then he/she does not matter. Lundse 15:11, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Look at that link if you don't know who she is! And CCA was a big part of influencing and encouraging her musical career! &mdash; Supuhstar  *  §
 * Also, in 10 things you did not know about Wikipedia, the final thing clearly states that "We want you to imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That is our commitment — and we need your help." And so I helped. How is that not in compliance with the statement? Surely the sum of all knowledge will include some relatively miscellaneous facts, right? So tell me. Is there still an argument? &mdash; Supuhstar  *  §
 * All knowledge is not to be taken literal, as our policies on what not to include explains. But I am sorry if we are deleting a subject on which you felt you had something to share with the world. I am not changing my vote for this reason, but I do sincerely hope that you find something to add here which will be included. Lundse 15:11, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for at least being nice about it. &mdash; Supuhstar  *  §
 * No problem. I probably have some wiki-karmic debts. :-) Also, no-one acting in good faith deserves to get "bitten" around here - being nice is mandatory :-)  Lundse 20:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. A high school with 300 students (K-12), a special mission, and a notable alum is most likely notable. The case would be much stronger if there's at least one source, some more wikilinks, a statement of what the school's importance is (beyond its mission), etc.Wikidemo 03:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - reading the WP article about Jordan Pruitt I wonder if she's notable in her own right. I certainly doubt she's notable enough to confer notability on this school. Pretty much any decent sized high school has alumni who are fairly well known for something - e.g. town mayor - but on that basis every high school will be important enough an encyclopedia article. andy 11:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited. KTC 05:10, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Whilst there is alot of cruft here, which will completely avoid. This is purely non-notable.Twenty Years 08:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Wikidemo. -- DS1953 talk  04:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete The facts claimed are patently trivial, and being "special" (I would not call this school unique in any way) is not directly analogous to the concept of notability, which is only defined through significant coverage in independent sources. The institution still fails WP:N. Van Tucky  Talk 22:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Even deletionists acknowledge the school is "special", which would meet the requirements to demonstrate notability. No requirement exists to meet a standard of "unique". Claims made satisfy notability requirements. Alansohn 01:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * In what way do "Claims made satisfy notability requirements"? The opinion so far is that they don't. Can you give an example of how this article shows that the school is notable? andy 15:53, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Probably most high schools will be notable if enough research is done, and based on its specific mission I consider that this falls into the category which is certainly notable. Further, notable alumni are, in fact, one of the key factors that make schools notable. DGG (talk) 17:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment You're correct DGG, notable alumni are a good indicator of notability. But one almunus is not sufficient. Almost every single school has at least one person who went on to professional sports or the like. Multiple notable almuni are the required indicator of the school being notable. Besides, that kind of notability is clearly inherited. Van Tucky  Talk 18:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * ...and what's the basic criterion of notability? "Significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", that's what. There is no evidence of this here (nor in the case of most other schools). andy 22:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
