I can´t see the reason why an article about an institution like the summer school should be deleted at all, and the threat of speedy deletion seems to be quite hasty! One can argue about the importance of the school, but in the usual time of 7 days. At least there are criteria to distinguish between deletion and speedy deletion! Alfred E.

There may be a terminology problem here. My understanding of a Summer school is that they are courses that take place in the summer for extra credit/remedial classes for american high school students, so I may have misinterpreted exactly what this institution was/is. However looking at the current article, I'm still not convinced this event is notable. How many people attend? How notable are they? Does the event have a significant reputation within academic/arts circles? Is it widely known to the general public? We could really use some more information and citations for this article, as at the moment it would seem to be a not very notable student exchange program. However I will not speedy the article again, but I may AFD it in the near future to establish a consensus on it's notability. exolon 13:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
