Roycemore School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Reason IAREALSOTHENIGGEST (talk) 16:55, 25 August 2011 (UTC) Very biased, written like an advertisement, and no sources cited.
 * Userfy (if someone wants it) 90% of the article reads like their website. Just info info for prospective students/customers and marketing info.  That needs to get deleted.  And it needs references added.   Has zero references, zero indication of wp: notability, but I'm guessing that it has the possibility of being able to establish notability.  Being several years old and having the above problems means that the status quo isn't working. North8000 (talk) 17:29, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as per established consensus that secondary schools are presumed notable. Shortcomings in the current version of the article should be addressed through normal editing rather than deletion of an article on a notable topic.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  18:48, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep The nominator has been blocked indefinitely for violating the Wikipedia username policy. This very expensive private school, established 1915, includes a high school, which makes it notable per the defacto notability standard observable in the outcomes of countless AFDs in recent years. Editing is the solution to any problems noted in the article. Google Book search is your friend: Here is a 1917 reference from The Western Architect with extensive coverage of the school and particularly its building:.The Chicago Sun Times in 1999 called the building "a  big stucco-clad craftsman treasure.." Chicago magazine in 2007 looked at 56 private high schools in the Chicago area and said Roycemore had the lowest student faculty ratio at 9.7, with a tuition of $18,425 per year, not quite the highest.. Basic info about he school is in the handbooks of private schools in the US, which have had coverage of this school from 1918 to the present time.   Edison (talk) 19:05, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep: The AfD notice does not appear on the article. AFD is not for cleanup.  And in addition to Edison's well-taken points, the original school building is on the U.S. national register of historic places.   This AfD is pure trolling from a douchenozzle.--Milowent • talkblp-r  17:50, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
