No idea why you're targeting this page when there are school pages with an equal amount of information or even less. An example being the page St. Thomas More High School (South Dakota), a school with the same name and even less content. Going to recommend that one for deletion too? The original page for this entry existed for years with no proposal for deletion, I just redirected to a new page to reflect the school's official name.

 * Please see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Your argument would send us on a race to the bottom. For content quality to improve, we have to insist on standards. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 19:39, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Regardless, I just showed you an article that definitely misses the standards you listed if the one I created did, with far less content and less sources. Are you going to nominate that one too? Because as it stands, it seems like you have some sort of vendetta or obsession targeted at me. Sovietmessiah (talk) 20:38, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't nominate articles on a dare. If you think I have a vendetta, take it to WP:ANI. I noticed that you do a poor job at editing and I nominated this article for deletion because of it. I'm not trying to mass-nominate articles about schools. If you want to nominate that article for deletion, be my guest. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:52, 22 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep very notable Catholic high school with plenty of coverage of it to pass GNG. FloridaArmy (talk) 04:48, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Which sources make you think this article passes GNG? Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 19:39, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The ones covering its enrollment, test scores, campus expansion plans, teams compwting with success, a staff member being sentenced for child sex abuse etc. Google News isn't perfect but can be useful. FloridaArmy (talk) 20:45, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you provide URLs? I don't see the sources you're talking about. I've dismissed the ROUTINE coverage; perhaps that what you meant. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 20:52, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * | This came up for the CSA case if it's any use to you and | this came up for expansion and it only took a quick google. LibrePrincess (talk) 22:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's enough for GNG. Others may disagree. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 15:55, 23 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Sovietmessiah (talk) 15:39, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep The article is currently under-sourced but this is something that can be fixed with time and effort; one problem I see arising however is the similarity in naming compared to other schools which might lead to confusion in what sources reference which school. LibrePrincess (talk) 22:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: Wiki would not be sufficiently improved by deleting this article. An acceptable start-class article and a significant community institution. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:52, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Daily Advertiser news articles:    "St. Thomas More Catholic High School has the highest private school enrollment this year, with 1,076 students."    Advocate  Athletic Business  mentions on cheerleading  Advocate article on AIA Rose Award for the school's media building.  Guardian article for Kevin Castille, who is listed in List of masters world records in road running is a coach at St. Thomas More  Runner's World article  Unfortunately I can't dig up too many articles as I exceeded the limit for Daily Advertiser.

 * I look forward to improving the article with all these sources.Egaoblai (talk) 09:21, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Why would I? I don't think this meets GNG. If I did, I wouldn't have nominated the article for deletion. Brief mentions in contemporaneous sources fails WP:SIGCOV. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 09:25, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
