[edit] Question on deleting this article

I personally do not believe that this is a notable article -- there are no publications mentioned which reference this school, there are no notable alumni mentioned, and no other notability reason is given as to why it belongs in an encyclopedia. If this school is notable for reasons of which I am not aware, those reasons should probably be put in the article; until then, I believe this article is not needed.

For further clarification:

I am not complaining that the page appeals to only a small audience, I believe it should be deleted because it is not notable. The definition of notability, according to Wikipedia:Notability, is "A topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself." This does not appear to be the case with the school in question. PsyMar 03:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

This school is notable because it is a very large school serving over 2800 students, one of the primary schools serving a large city in south florida (Weston) in the populous Broward County. It is a vital part of the community and certainly notable. We are not talking about a small beauty school or driving school here. I'm not sure what is to be gained by deleting this article, and there is certainly something to be lost. This is not a vanity piece. There are plenty of published works which reference this school. They may not be a part of the article YET, but this article, and Wikipedia itself, are in a constant state of development. Setting an arbitrary deadline seems silly to me for a subject that is obviously notable. Give the article and the stakeholders, time to develop it. That may take months, and it may even take years, but so what. This isnt a race. Caper13 05:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, ok, go ahead and leave it up then. I've decided I really don't care, and there's far less notable pages out there. I'll remove the notice. PsyMar | Talk | Contrib 05:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
