The result was   Speedy Keep (non-admin closure), because high schools are considered notable on Wikipedia. Okay, everyone, class dismissed! Ecoleetage (talk) 02:16, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

There are no notable pieces of info in the article. It is mainly a list of the staff. Clubmarx (talk) 23:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Secondary public schools are generally considered automatically notable, although the article certainly needs cleanup. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:02, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have now chopped the listcruft and reduced the article to a bare-bones stub pending actual sources. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:08, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep I do think cases should be examined on an individual basis, but high school articles like this one would be better served with proper expansion and references rather than deletion. --Jh12 (talk) 14:17, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOT. I don't seen anything in this article besides some statistics about a high-school. VG &#x260E; 13:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Why is this any different from the dozens or hundreds of other high schools that have been kept at AFD? As a high school, this is notable, and as such should be kept.  Nyttend (talk) 15:15, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not buy the argument high-school = automatically notable. Do you really want me to list all the high-schools from Romania as WP:POINT? I can easily get a list of them, and probably enrollment numbers as well, but that won't make an article anyone would want to read (except high-school stats fans). Also, SCHOOL is a failed guideline, and consensus can change. VG &#x260E; 15:33, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * To be perfectly honest, I don't really buy it either, but past AfDs suggest there is a strong consensus that public secondary schools are all notable. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - as with other high schools enough sources are available to meet WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 20:47, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Being badly written is not a reason for deletion. Erik the Red  2    17:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
