Hyde Park Baptist High School

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Advert for a non-notable school. Only references to it are trivial mentions in the Austin American-Statesman local newspaper. Nomination withdrawn as apparently all high schools are inherently notable. Perhaps something to do with the American fixation on high school? ;-P Fences  &amp;  Windows  18:02, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

p.s. I love the misinterpretation of "colors" in the infobox, which is supposed to be for the school colours. Someone has entered "All Races". Yeah, you'd hope so. Fences &amp;  Windows  00:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per longstanding precedent but this thing needs a major rewrite. It reads like a brochure not a Wikipedia article. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:07, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Keep I attempted to fix some of the more glaring errors...I think the article should stay up, if a neutral tone is maintained. Waylando91 (talk) 01:18, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep This could be the first time I've ever had to disagree with Fences & Windows in regards to an AfD discussion. The guidelines for article inclusion work a bit different to most articles when your dealing with schools. There is evidence to suggest the school DOES exist, so that takes out perhaps the only real threat when articles about schools are created. This articles does need some serious cleanup and INLINE CITATIONS! A few more internal links to other articles would be nice too.-- The LegendarySky Attacker 03:41, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per precedent of keeping virtually every high school in existence. I have made some edits to remove things like the mission statement that don't belong in a Wikipedia article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:15, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * So the WP:GNG doesn't apply to schools? How nice for high schools to be inherently notable. I don't do much editing of schools articles. Nomination withdrawn. Fences  &amp;  Windows  17:56, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
