• Keep - substantial high school that is significant in its community. We delete not because the article is not sourced but if sources are not available and there are sufficient available to meet WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 18:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

If there were any notability according to WP:SCHOOL then you may have a point. But there isn't any and no references to even suggest that there are. AlbinoFerret (talk) 18:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. It is generally trivial to find reliable sources for expansion of high schools. Should you believe this is not the case for this school, WP:SCHOOL#Failure to establish notability procedure is not to delete but to merge to the district. DoubleBlue (Talk) 19:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

The nomination wasn't that it hasn't been expanded, but that it lacked notability. Please find some references that suggest the nominated school is notable according to WP:SCHOOL criteria. AlbinoFerret (talk) 21:03, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep It is generally and widely considered that a claim to be a high school is a claim of notability. WP:OTHER exists, to be sure, but how is this any different from the dozens (likely hundreds) of high schools that have been kept at AFD? If those can be kept, this should be.

• Keep per Wikipedia:Notability (high schools)‎ Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 23:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

That is an essay, written by you! Not only that , it was written this morning[1]. It also is contrary to WP:SCHOOL, the work of multiple editors that suggests that schools need to show some notability. AlbinoFerret (talk) 13:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

So what? Are you saying that I can't cite my own essay when !voting in AfD? Is there some rule about that? If so, I think I'll ignore it. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 22:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

What I'm saying is that it holds no weight. Its not a guideline or policy. You might just as well have written it here. That you didn't disclose that you wrote it when you posted it here. I could write an essay saying that schools that don't show notability should be removed from Wikipedia, at least that one wouldn't conflict with Wikipedia guidelines.
