 * Keep - This is a secondary school and per long-standing convention, high schools are considered notable as indicated in WP:OUTCOME. I should also note that, barring serious WP:BLP concerns, nominating an article for deletion less than an hour after creation is not helpful to the community and is a form of WP:BITE.--Oakshade (talk) 00:25, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * trust me, it was not my intent to be BITEy. Also, I have never understood why high schools are held to such a lower standard than any other topic on Wikipedia.  Your !vote doesn't address why this school is notable: it only points in the general direction of a noticeable (if illogical) trend.  G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 00:50, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * By your statement "I have never understood why high schools..." indicates you are aware high schools are always kept, but you prodded and AfDed this article anyway. This is now looking WP:POINTy to me.--Oakshade (talk) 00:56, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * no need to get your feathers ruffled, and please try to WP:AGF. I only nominated it in the (vain?) hope that we might be able to delete an article that clearly fails WP:ORG.  G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 01:02, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - The only source mentioned in the article is not an independent source - WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES states that if zero independent sources exist, the article should be deleted. The article is very new, perhaps there are some reliable sources? Jacona (talk) 17:21, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES sentence is actually "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are being kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists." Here are a some government and foundation profiles that are independent of the institution that prove the institution actually exists.  --Oakshade (talk) 17:37, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per longstanding tradition for high schools. Jacona (talk) 18:37, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
