Dominion High School
The article may be salvageable, but the last paragraph in particular seems questionable. Note the name of the creator and the principal. - unsigned comment by User:Mikereichold on Talk page of article. -- Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) @ 05:26, 19 January 2006 (UTC) (acting as a proxy)
 * I had remade the article shortly after posting this AfD, and the questionable bits have been taken out and deleted from the history by admins. -- Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) @ 21:04, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. The cleaned up version looks fine.&#160;—  The KMan  talk  07:35, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Sterling, Virginia. Very short article, but there is a past precedent to keep high schools in some form. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * keep seems to get quite a few google hits. Jcuk 08:41, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for non-notability. However, there is precedent to keep high schools. -Rebelguys2 08:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, notability is not policy. Kappa 09:09, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The original version should have been tagged as db-attack.  I would ask an admin to please delete the history of this article, without waiting for AFD completion.  --Rob 09:13, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I have deleted this, and then restored the re-write. Since it was a total re-write, this is GFDL compliant.--Doc ask? 09:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, its fine to me. --Terence Ong 10:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep school articles should be kept. -- Astrokey44 |talk 13:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep valid High Schools. I don't even see a proper AfD criteria listed by the nom. &mdash; RJH 16:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Just to be fair to the nom, the article that they nominated deserved deletion as being an attack page, and was in fact deleted (it was removed from history). We're now talking about an entirely new article, though for the same school.  Since no (non-admin) can see the original contents, nobody really has much basis for criticizing the nominator.  --Rob 16:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep And the next article about a high school in Virgina will be number 50 and that won't be deleted either. CalJW 16:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Do not proxy nominations without valid reasons. Hipocrite - &laquo; Talk &raquo; 16:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * To be fair to the nom (and myself), I did redo the article last night about two hours after I posted the VfD -- Jjjsixsix (talk)/(contribs) @ 17:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
