 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article about school with no assertion of notability whatsoever. Complete absence of encyclopedic content. Also WP:COI and self-admitted WP:COPYVIO. Hús ö  nd  01:07, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: There is a difference between notability, and importance, and this school is not notable. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.   jj137  ( Talk ) 02:01, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep why is this high school any less notable then any other high school on wiki? It does need some clean up...esp in the "History" section  C t j f 8 3  03:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: While I do respect your position on this article, your reasoning seems a bit waxy. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep as a high school, seems notable enough as is. Forget about the copyvio: I removed it.  Nyttend (talk) 03:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - recommend cleaning up. Scar ian  Talk  16:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I have not spent time at AFD typing "delete as nom" ... I have added to this article. It has at least 3 or 4 notable people who attended including a congressman. Obviously they don't know that some say that secondary schools are not notable as they all noted their secondary schools in their CVs etc. I also added a news story to show its not all positive. Closing editor please take a glance at the article. I didn't stop because I ran out of notable links I ran out of time. Victuallers (talk) 18:43, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep Every school should be kept. scope_creep (talk) 20:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Under any particular policy/guideline, or is it just per WP:ILIKEIT? Hús  ö  nd  20:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Whatever happened to the policy that high schools aren't notable enough to have articles? Parts of it also read like an advertisement; the mission statement is certainly not encyclopedic. bob rulz (talk) 20:28, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I've removed it and done a quick general clean up. Does it look better? Scar ian  Talk  23:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep School's accomplishments and alumni, supported by multiple reliable and verifiable sources, satisfies the Notability standard. Easily remedied issues mentioned by nominator as excuses for deletion seem to betray a complete failure to observe the obligations under deletion policy to address, edit and improve articles before the race to AfD begins.

 * Keep. Article is sourced and well written. Well done to Victuallers and Scarian for their work. Capitalistroadster (talk) 00:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep School asserts notability. I agree. References provided. LordHarris (talk) 08:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
