Julia Morgan School for Girls


Found in the speedy backlog, where it really doesn't fit. School with no particular claim to fame, written with a degree of POV expected from an article created by a student. Four cleanup tags and counting. Opabinia regalis 07:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom... NN school, reads like homework assignment. SkierRMH 08:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - unlike some schools, there's some reliable sources (subscription required) out there. MER-C 09:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per MER-C and independent coverage, which should be incorporated into the article. --Dhartung | Talk 09:31, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep This school is as notable as a new middle school could be.  There's no notable alumnae to argue about yet, but as a unique school type (all-girls middle school) in an area of several million people, with major coverage in the NYT, Harvard Magazine, several Bay Area papers, and a book, it seems to pass any test that the school deletionists could come up with.  I've fixed it up a little, and I'll continue if nobody else finishes it up first. --Hjal 11:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep But there are some good reasons for voting keep, other than the consensus here. One, the above sources quoted are reliable - Harvard and the New York Times, and the type of school is unique. If anyone wants to, I'd be willing to help re-write this article. --SunStar Net 14:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep In tha the NYT article about the school and other sources helps confer notability (given that the school is in California) per WP:SCHOOLS3 criterion 1, and yes I know that isn't a guideline but that criterion seems at least to me to be reasonable. JoshuaZ 20:08, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep How many schools have a New York Times article and a book about them? Plus they have what is in this era a somewhat innovative program of all girls education. Not a run of the mill school at all. Edison 23:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Based on the references this should not be on AFD. --JJay 00:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, school is notable, references are cited and are reliable. There's a lot of mention by major organisations, isn't that enough? --Ter e nce Ong (C 04:02, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. School is not notable.  Yes, it's mentioned in a couple of articles, but it is not the subject of those articles. Valrith 05:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I think you may want to reread the NYT article. JoshuaZ 05:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Sourced, passes WP:SCHOOLS3. Shimeru 06:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Significant coverage in the NYT and Harvard magazine is a clear demonstration of notability per WP:SCHOOL. Alansohn 08:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes both WP:SCHOOLS and WP:SCHOOLS3. I'd like to see it expanded and cleaned up a great deal, but the article is not suitable for deletion as it now stands. Trusilver 02:07, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * keep notable school!!! Audiobooks 21:16, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above commenters, the school is notable and has references to show for it. Yamaguchi先生 03:30, 22 November 2006
