Lancaster Country Day School

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

What? Where is this "Lancaster Country?" Where are the sources? Should be CSD'd, but A7 excludes schools... (damn...) flaminglawyer 03:27, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: For future reference, "Country Day School" is a term commonly encountered in the names of private schools in the United States. --Orlady (talk) 19:17, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Article was AfD'd four minutes after creation. It will probably turn out to be non-notable, but let's give the page creator time to build the article, okay?  Baileypalblue (talk) 03:41, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh... The AfD should last a week, giving the creator plenty of time to improve it. flaminglawyer 03:53, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 *  Keep By and large, schools get included no matter how obsure they are. I found 319k Ghits and am about to put some references in the article to establish notability. ArcAngel (talk) 03:49, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You do realize that those hits are spread out over the many, many, many different schools named Lancaster Country Day School? Good luck finding the right one. The article doesn't even mention a location. flaminglawyer 03:53, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Have faith, young padawan. ArcAngel (talk) 04:02, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Although I still doubt your ability to provide such links, the Star Wars reference cheers me up a bit. flaminglawyer 04:18, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Observe the power of the force. Also, keep since consensus is into keeping schools that serve 9-12th grades. SMSpivey (talk) 06:35, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Check the article out now. I think I have proven my ability with the links provided.  :) ArcAngel (talk) 04:55, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 *  Weak Keep the subject, is probably notable ("a private, independent, non-sectarian, coeducational, college-preparatory school" from pre-K to 12th grade) but the page makes no claim of notable nor even clearly identifies its intended subject. JJL (talk) 04:00, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep such schools are notable.-- S Marshall  Talk / Cont  15:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Surely a school that is 100 years old and includes a high school will turn out to be notable. I've done some editing on the article, including adding a link to one third-party source. More can be found. There's plenty of news coverage of its sports teams, and I found something about its participation in Chemistry Olympiad, but without enough context to add it to the article. BTW, please don't bite the newbies: this was the contributor's very first edit, and the only thanks the contributor received was a near-instantaneous notification of the AfD, without so much as a perfunctory "Welcome to Wikipedia." --Orlady (talk) 19:12, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep All high schools are best considered notable here, for the very good reason that almost all actually are, and the work in weeding out the 5 or 10% isn't worth it, considering our likely error rate. In almost all cases sources for this to turn out to be available. This particular afd is a good example of why--this is in fact a major private (in the US sense) school, with a long history. I agree the original article was contemptible, but anyone who knew about area codes should have been able to realise where  the school was, and then look for sources.

 * Keep - sources are available to meet WP:ORG. Premature nomination. No reason to delete. TerriersFan (talk) 04:47, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
