Non-notable high school. — Swpb talk contribs 14:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per the argument against school articles at WP:SCHOOL. Eusebeus 17:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. School articles should be kept so that school AfDs don't absorb editor time that could be better used doing other things. --Eastmain 22:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Don't worry, my friend, I make virtually all my contributions to Wikipedia in AfD debates, because that's what best matches my limited skills. I don't mind having my time absorbed in this way, so long as the result is a better Wikipedia. I express my opinion on this article below. WMMartin 16:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree, what we need is a speedy criteia for non notable school articles. Especially those that offer nothing more than 'school x is in place y'. Nuttah68 14:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete This is not just an ordinary sort of NN school, the article says remarkably little. DGG 06:21, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is not proven, and references/sources are inadequate. WMMartin 16:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete no claim to notability and no sources. Nuttah68 14:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I added some references. --Eastmain 01:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have reviewed the references, but do not find that they support a claim of notability. I am particularly uncomfortable with the reference claiming architectural merit, which seems to be from the personal website of a local architectural enthusiast: this is merely a statement of preference, not a substantial claim. We need to see something more like "the Texas Architectural Association rated the building one of the top 3 most architecturally significant buildings in Texas." That would be notable. Simply being liked by one person is not enough. WMMartin 13:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I am afraid I am not convinced at all of the importance of this for a world wide encyclopedia.What is next, listing McDonald's locations? Seven-Elevens?--Filll 01:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * comment a recent edit has added some sources. I personally doubt they establish notability, especially since the aspects described in the sources are not discussed in the article, which merely says "North Side High School is located in Fort Worth, Texas. It is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District." I would think this qualifies as a speedy delete for A1, "Very short articles providing little or no context" DGG 01:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. With interesting content and proper references, this high school could qualify for an article. What's in the article now is, I believe, not enough to show notability or be worth keeping. EdJohnston 05:09, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
