The article does not define any reason for notability, and my attempts to find information on this subject were unsuccessful. If our Norwegian friends can provide positive assistance to confirm notability, that would be most helpful. Otherwise, I am hard pressed to support the article's presence here.

 * Delete: The article does not show notability and only has one source which is the official site. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 15:44, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment this news search on Sesam found 22 hits for Hammartun ungdomsskole. This includes such events as the opening of the refurbished school, and this article that reached the national newspaper Aftenposten, concerning the theft of a key. Had this been a company, there would be enough for a keep, per WP:ORG. Arsenikk (talk)  19:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as a high school. As can be seen here, the school educates to age 16 (Grade 10) which makes it a high school. Coupled with several non-trivial sources that meet WP:N and over 165 years of history makes it a clear keep. TerriersFan (talk) 19:26, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as a high school. For more information on my opinion about the inherent notability of high schools, see my project-space essay Notability (high schools), and be sure to also read the talk page, which I think you will find interesting.

 * Comment, I see one weak potential alum (translated), but there's not a peep on news.google.no, although there is a slight amount of news coverage (translated example about doing well in testing) From the school website the only potentially notable item is that on the school's 100th anniversary King Harald V of Norway and Queen Sonja of Norway (at the time prince/princess) attended & celebrated (kastet glans) (translated), the majority of the Norwegian Ghits I checked appear to be directory entries only. – Zedla (talk) 08:08, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There seem to be plentiful sources on Google but most are in Norwegian and the translations don't always seem to pick up all the detail. There is for instance a page here with details of the tender for the rebuilding of the school. A lack of immediately accessible internet sources for a school in a country where English is not the first language is not a reason for a deletion. The available sources clearly suggest that the school is notable. The King and Queen of Norway would not be tempted to visit a school on its 100th anniversary unless the school was notable. No doubt WikiProject Norway will be able to help with expansion in due course. Dahliarose (talk) 12:42, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect: Fails notability. More a middle school than a high school.  Also, the article is content-free. CRGreathouse (t | c) 18:05, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Hammartun is a secondary school. As discussed above it takes children up to the age of 16. Middle schools normally only take children up to the age of 13 or so. Dahliarose (talk) 23:42, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
