- I don't see why key policies like WP:V and WP:OR don't apply to articles on schools. It is entirely feasible that a school could be the subject of multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself. This article produces no such sources. So Delete. -- IslaySolomon | talk 15:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. It's a school. Harmless. Possibly regionally notable. Who are we to judge? Caliwiki123 19:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Searched Google News, and 0 results. Fails WP:NOTE. -Seinfreak37 20:22, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge into Virginia Beach, Virginia, per the "unsourced stub" portions of the competing guideline proposals for notability of schools. "Who are we to judge?" We're the Wikipedia community which needs to hold articles to standards in order to make this a reasonable reliable encyclopedia. None of the cited sources is both independent and fact-checked. There's no claim of notability in the article. All the article content appears to be original research (see WP:NOR) or directory listing (which falls under WP:NOT). No prejudice to recreation if reliable third-party coverage is found. Barno 21:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- delete It is not correct tot say "school articles are pretty much allowed" . There is no such policy. WP:Schools says "This proposal was rejected by the community. It has not gained consensus and seems unlikely to do so." Therefore we are left with N, aand schools must be judged individually according to the standards of WP:N. Even the WikiProject:Schools page says "Wikipedia:Schools - a failed, now historical discussion of school articles on Wikipedia".
- "Harmless" is not the standard; N is the standard.
- "Who are we to judge?" --that's what this process is for, to judge notability.
- In this case there is nothing to show notability.DGG 00:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Notability not demonstrated. Whilst the principle of magnet schools is notable, and some magnet schools are notable for the particular teaching methods they use, there is no evidence that this is the case here. Sorry: I've no doubt that Kemps Landing a good school, but that's not what we're looking for. I went to a great school, and I learnt a lot there, but it isn't notable so it isn't here. And if it were, I'd vote to delete its article too. Schools become notable when they do something significantly different from other schools, not when they simply exist and teach.

- Delete or Merge per WP:LOCAL and WP:SCHOOLS3. Keeping because it is 'harmless is not a valid reason to keep and is a POV argument. Basically a yellow pages listing. Vegaswikian 23:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Delete per IslaySolomon, do not merge something that doesn't really have very strong reliable sources, the school page isn't one, also the city is too large for WP:LOCAL we are not a school directory. Jaranda wat's sup 07:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
