Hulme Grammar School

According to User:WhisperToMe, who corrected me on a slip up I did, apparently only school DISTRICTS are notable, single schools are not. -Vaarsivius (Talk to me.) 15:38, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment there is no such thing as a "school district" in the UK -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:43, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the community article, per longstanding precedent on articles on schools at this level. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:51, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think you've either been misinformed or misinterpreted what you've been informed. Note this school is branded Oldham Hulme so the name is a bit off. See the history here. The school is also a member of the HMC. It's notable in its own right. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:54, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - inherently notable, and vastly better than most school articles, though it could still do with a few independent references. . . Mean as custard (talk) 15:59, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as above--J3Mrs (talk) 17:24, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable. --Bsherr (talk) 17:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The lack of a school district is not, and to my knowledge has never been, considered a valid reason to delete a school-based article. That said, the article in question needs some work. Friginator (talk) 23:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Grammar Schools in the UK are mostly, as this one, High Schools and usually old and important ones. They are not elementary schools as in the US. It needs more references but this one is well up the lists of schools in the UK we should have articles on. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  03:11, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Not so convinced by article quality as others - looks too much like a prospectus to me. But that is something that can be fixed through editing. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 19:08, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per longstanding precedent on articles on schools at this level. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:57, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep -- The Nom is uninformed as to the English educational system. This is a secondary school - a High School, according to another classification.  Under the old selective (pre-compreehnsive) system, its pupils would have come form the local elite of the brightest pupils.  I would thereofre expect a reasonaly well populated alumni category.  Clearly notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
