Article doesn't seem notable. Would suggest a merge.  Lourie Pieterse  16:14, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Secondary schools in the US are apparently automatically notable, but I don't think the principle applies to overseas.--JohnnyB256 (talk) 19:24, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. For most people the US is "overseas". Phil Bridger (talk) 16:19, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. All secondary schools everywhere are notable. I added an infobox and a newspaper article about a careers event there. -- Eastmain (talk) 22:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep We should use the same rationale to keep this high school just like we do with the Americans, if not this is a case of WP:BIAS. It should be noted that the article has a reference confirming the existence of this school. --Jmundo (talk) 22:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - secondary schools are notable. TerriersFan (talk) 23:25, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep if secondary schools in the US are automatically notable, secondary schools everywhere are.  GB fan  talk 00:00, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep All secondary schools are notable. Cunard (talk) 00:29, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Just had to post here that I strongly object that all X is notable is a valid argument for any X, as per WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. And yes, this includes schools. No opinion as to the individual article at hand, but just had to get that out there.  Them  From  Space  03:04, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge to Požarevac - This article seems to represent the problem of systematic bias on Wikipedia. I have not found many sources through Google in English, though given that this school is in Serbia I am not surprised. I suspect there may be coverage in Serbian and some help from those that speak Serbian would be good (yes sources do not have to be in English per WP:V). While I am not a fan of mergers of probable notable articles, a merge into Požarevac may be a good compromise. That locality article currently does not even mention the school, and if the article is kept a summary and link should still be provided there anyway. Don't get how WP:INDISCRIMINATE applies, as nothing listed there seems to apply here. As for inherited notability, well for schools that is a wider Wikipedia dispute on which there is not a clear consensus on, I would prefer to focus on the article at hand for AfDs.

 * Keep Inherited notability is not what I would call it --this is a practical working standard, very well accepted for a few years now, that essentially all secondary schools have enough sources if they are searched for carefully enough, and therefore we should not waste time debating them to catch a few percent that might not. Middle and elementary schools-- they get merged, for the complementary reason--almost none of them can be shown to be notable.   DGG ( talk ) 05:06, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
