Hopkins West Junior High School

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

non-notable school ninety:one  13:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn owing to presence of coloured ribbon. ninety:one  20:34, 21 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. While articles on junior high schools, middle schools and elementary schools are normally merged to the school district or locality, it is possible for an individual junior high school to be notable. This school is a blue ribbon school, which suggests that it may be notable. - Eastmain (talk) 13:23, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - not only a Blue Ribbon school but national middle school quiz champions in the notable Knowledge Master Open and plenty of other sources available. WP:BEFORE is relevant. TerriersFan (talk) 15:13, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep . Speedy Keep. Utterly generic nominational rationale, particular reason for notability given in article. Any sourcing issues do not indicate a reason for deletion. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:34, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It was a contested PROD, I have neither the time or the inclination to research whatever childish 'name the presidents' or 'spell words you will literally never use' award somehow makes this school so amazing. ninety:one   18:11, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This school is notable primarily as a Blue Ribbon school. Contested Prods should be considered on the merits of the subject not automatically AfD'd. If you "have neither the time or the inclination to research" then please refrain from submitting such AfDs. TerriersFan (talk) 18:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Changing !vote to Speedy Keep per nominator's confession of deliberately ignoring credible claim of notability.Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:33, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You're trolling, grow up. But if getting a coloured ribbon makes a school notable in that country, then nomination withdrawn. ninety:one  20:34, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, the Blue Ribbon status is a nationally-prestigious award that puts a school in the top tier of schools throughout the United States. It has generally been seen to be sufficient for notability.  Nyttend (talk) 20:38, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
