Fails WP:GNG. No sources, no reason for notability. Nouse4aname (talk) 13:23, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Troy School District (Michigan). New article by a new editor, and we want to encourage you to keep contributing to Wikipedia; however, the general rule here is that high schools get their own article, and middle and elementary schools get a paragraph in the article about the school district where they are located.

 * Keep - Blue Ribbon school (1986-87) and we regard Blue Ribbon schools as notable. Plenty of additional claims to notability here. Proper research was not carried out before nomination. TerriersFan (talk) 21:31, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per TerriersFan. Blue Ribbon schools are notable. • Gene93k (talk) 23:08, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per TerriersFan. Well done, that. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 15:54, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I find this ludicrous that we have to include every Blue Ribbon school. Even if it is an elementary school, it still deserves an article. What is there to say about an elementary school that received Blue Ribbon? They don't have any athletics or extra-curricular activities that high schools have. What are we supposed to say about elementary schools? It's pretty much Wikipedia is just promoting the school. A school can choose not to have an informative website. And when they do, it just leaves editors with very little information to write about the school. These schools end up being just a stub on Wikipedia. Do parents really go to Wikipedia first to find good schools? Why can't they just make an appointment with the school and ask about their programs? Why come to Wikipedia?

 * Keep - The article as it existed when it was nominated was a good candidate for deletion, but Terriersfan's subsequent work has demonstrated that the school is notable. Thus, the article should be kept. However, the current article is mostly a collection of factoids about awards and distinctions the school has received; it would be nice if it could be expanded to include some other types of content. (I did a quick Google search to see what I could find, but I only managed to find some additional awards and distinctions.) --Orlady (talk) 18:45, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
