 * Keep: I've upgraded the article somewhat and it now has an External Link. It's a state-run college, and by long-established convention secondary and higher-level schools and colleges are considered "notable".  Pam  D  09:31, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Article still extremely short. James1011R (talk, contribs) 13:16, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * But brevity is not a reason for deletion. Pam  D  09:04, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - as stated above secondary and higher educational institutions are generally notable. I have already found references and no doubt local searches will find many more. Bringing such institutions forward for deletion less than 24 hours after creation is hardly the best way to go. TerriersFan (talk) 22:24, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nominator has not provided any remotely policy-compliant rationale for deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Secondary and tertiary educational institutions are generally considered to be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:48, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
