It isn't notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fca5543 (talk • contribs)
 * Speedy close. A. this AfD is not well-formed, to say the least. B. high schools are generally considered inherently notable. C. it's a terrible article, but that is no reason for deletion. Dr Aaij (talk) 04:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. The AfD is now well-formed, but Dr. A's point B is well taken. Whether or not high schools are "inherently" notable, they are almost always considered notable enough to be kept in AfDs. There's no point in even nominating them for AfD. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:00, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for fixing the AfD; I didn't rightly know how to do it. Dr Aaij (talk) 05:02, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: While I don't agree with the idea that high schools are "inherently" notable, it appears to be the guiding notion. Perhaps when a hundred million or so Chinese high schools are added that notion will be revisited. But for now, must be kept in keeping with precedent.

 * I didn't say they are, of course--I said they are considered notable, by a broad consensus of editors (which doesn't necessarily include me, BTW). Dr Aaij (talk) 03:00, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Point taken. I clearly do not share that belief, either, but as I said the guiding precedent (by consensus) is what it is. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 19:55, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. In addition to the presumption of notability, this school has plenty of coverage in reliable sources--at least 400 GHits at Google News, for example.
 * Keep I added a citation, with reference, that it was declared a California Distinguished School in 2009. There is clearly a lot more that could be said. The article used to be much longer, with information on the history etc., but Dr. Aaij deleted about 90% of the content earlier this month as unencyclopedic. --MelanieN (talk) 03:15, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * A look at the history proves very quickly that I am not alone in that opinion, and a quick look at this edit should make it clear that I did indeed remove unverified and unencyclopedic information--such as lists of clubs and organization, the slogan "ZYGY ZYGY ZYGY OY OY OY", and statements like "this year has been one of the toughest years for band in all of the school's history." Thank you. Dr Aaij (talk) 17:07, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - subject of article appears to be the type that would be considered to have inherited notability; that being said the article needs major improvement and additional citations from reliable sources. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:13, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I recommend closeout ASAP as SPEEDY KEEP -- clear case of WP:SNOW. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 19:57, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as per our standard procedure for high schools. Kudpung (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
