School not notable under WP:NSCHOOL/WP:ORG Comicmuse (talk) 09:46, 22 July 2016 (UTC) Being linked to notable individuals does not make it prima facie notable itself, surely? The new section noting the existence of an archive would seem more convincing on that front. Comicmuse (talk) 11:46, 22 July 2016 (UTC) "In practice articles on high/secondary schools and school districts are usually kept, as they are almost always found to be notable, unless their existence cannot be verified in order to stop hoaxes. Articles on elementary/primary schools or middle schools will normally be merged into the locality article (such as a village or town) unless they can clearly demonstrate that they can meet the notability guideline. Articles on elementary/primary and middle schools should normally be merged into the school district article or the appropriate locality article if this is not available. Due to continued controversy over deletion of school articles, they are formally exempt from the speedy deletion A7 criterion, though not A1 or any other of the general or article criteria." Is it notable- it has 400 years of documented history, it has records in the National Archives and is the subject of a book. Have a look at the truncated list of alumni. It is a referenced stub with a lot of potential that needs lots of attention. ClemRutter (talk) 17:36, 22 July 2016 (UTC)bb
 * SPeedy keep: long-established high school, building designed by notable architect, many notable alumni ... what more do we need? Pam  D  10:50, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep- obviously: There is a long history of annoying requests for deletion- it has been discussed for a decade all over WP. Notability (high schools). It is summed up on the Schools guidelines page. WPSCHOOLS/AG
 * Keep per long standing consensus on secondary schools, plus it appears to be GNG notable. VMS Mosaic (talk) 03:09, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
