Hyehwa High School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Four-sentence article about a Korean high school whose only reference is a web site in Korean. Seduisant (talk) 03:07, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per the long-standing agreement at WP:NHS. High schools do not need evidence of current notability, but only need to be verifiable to exist.  That "website in Korean" is the school's own website.  In case that's insufficient:
 * Student from the high school represented in a gameshow
 * Hyehwa HS student was a winner of an essay contest independent of the school I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 03:20, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - I, Jethrobot has summed it up pretty well. We have a solid consensus that high schools are assumed to be notable. Also note that verifiability does not require that sources be in English. Lady  of  Shalott  03:36, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. A stubbed article sourced to a non-English website has never been an appropriate reason or rationale for deletion. It's a rationale for improving the article. Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 03:37, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with the three editors other who have also recommended the article be kept. If consensus says that articles about secondary schools should be kept, then that applies to all such schools worldwide, not just those in English speaking countries.  References in other languages are acceptable.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  15:05, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Keeping articles on foreign high schools even if sourcing and writeup are shaky helps to counter systemic bias. Raymie (t • c) 17:51, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. I wasn't aware of WP:NHS when I proposed this, and would retract the AfD suggestion if I knew how. Sorry for the mix-up. --Seduisant (talk) 18:30, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
