Schools aren't inherently notable and this subject fails WP:NORG and WP:GNG. The article relies almost solely upon the school's website. I found coverage from local newspapers in County Mayo, but it's mostly mere mentions. The only item of note was a prior school construction project, which of course isn't mentioned here at all because this is really a fanpage for students. With no significant coverage in independent outlets, there's no claim of notability. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 15:57, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep I am gathering articles and other information from independent sources to improve this page. This is also part of WikiProject Ireland a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Ireland on Wikipedia. Another editor removed 5000 off the page including the staff list which you wanted to see. I will take on your recommendations and improve the page. 1awsshark (talk) 17:34, 4 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1awsshark (talk • contribs) 17:28, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment, let us build up this page till this AfD discussion get closed. Later, if the article doesn't qualify as per the consensus, then the competent authority can simply delete it. - Hatchens (talk) 09:15, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The claim of being "Ireland's first Catholic co-educational secondary school" may be significant and would help establish notability if expanded upon (reasoning, significance, etc.) If not for this fact the subject would certainly not meet WP:NSCHOOL guidelines. This fact does not necessarily sway me to keep but does keep me from straightforward delete. Keeping the fan/schoolcruft out would also be beneficial.-- ☾Loriendrew☽  ☏(ring-ring)  23:38, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. While primarily in local sources, there is at least a moderate amount of independent coverage of the subject. And the claim of "Ireland's first Catholic co-educational secondary school" seems to be supported by at least a few otherwise reliable sources. While the coverage is far from overwhelming, and the historical WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:SCHOOLCRUFT style content should not be restored (the "list of subjects" and "list of musicals" and "list of teachers" being entirely inappropriate for example), the subject itself is at least (perhaps just about) notable. Mine is the weakest of "weak keep" recommendations.... Guliolopez (talk) 16:10, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, being the first Catholic co-educational school in Ireland is sufficient to demonstrate notability, and this is verified by local news and an Irish government source. That is enough for me. Stifle (talk) 10:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
