 * Keep: though the article is poorly written—spammy even—I believe the institution itself is plenty notable.  It has a huge number of students for a school of this type, and is the most frequently mentioned culinary school in the area, despite there being many community colleges and universities offering culinary arts degrees.  —EncMstr (talk) 15:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and clean up. You should have seen it before we reverted the changes from their PR department. The school was notable before it was taken over by whatever corporation runs it now, and it has a long history in Portland. Aside from the program at Linn-Benton Community College, I believe it is the only culinary school in Oregon. Katr67 (talk) 16:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - Not only are there third party sources already there, but a quick search (which nominators are supposed to do before listing) turns up many more. Aboutmovies (talk) 16:31, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep almost 1000 students? Even if it is poorly written, it's certainly notable. Tedder (talk) 16:51, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep -- maybe a speedy keep? The school is plenty notable, see points above. -Pete (talk) 18:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
