Fails WP:N. Bharatiya29 (talk) 10:04, 24 September 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as its coverage comprises either primary, highly ambiguous sources or nothing more than mentions in a list, meaning it does not have "significant coverage in reliable sources." --Rubbish computer 23:47, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Certainly appears to exist and that's enough for secondary schools per longstanding consensus and precedent. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:27, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * "High schools are generally considered to be notable, but they must be able to meet the relevant guidelines for notability" - WP:NHS. If you could come up with some reliable sources with a some coverage about the school then I would be more than happy to withdraw the nomination. Bharatiya29 (talk) 14:35, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * By consensus (which is all that matters on Wikipedia) secondary school articles are usually kept as long as their existence is proved. See WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:43, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I can't say about the general consensus about school-articles, but please have a look at WP:NSCHOOL. It says that a school-article must satisfy the criteria mentioned in either WP:ORG or WP:GNG, and this article doesn't seems to do that. I would have accepted your opinion if there would had been a void in the Wikipedia policies regarding school-articles, but since we have got a well-defined notability criteria so I personally believe that its best to go by the rules.

 * Yes, we all know what that says. However, consensus is consensus and that consensus has been demonstrated here over dozens if not hundreds of AfDs. Unfortunately attempts to change the guidelines have been resisted by a couple of diehards, but that doesn't change the facts. Several secondary school articles are nominated for deletion every week, either in good faith by editors like yourself who aren't aware of the consensus or by deletionist opponents of the consensus who are just trying it on and hoping the rest of us won't notice; they're invariably kept. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:56, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The admins at AfD are quite experienced, so I am sure that they will take the general consensus into consideration while taking a decision. Bharatiya29 (talk) 16:40, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Exactly. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:48, 7 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep in accordance with longstanding consensus at AfD that secondary schools of confirmed existence are presumed notable. Carrite (talk) 23:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
