  • Delete Upon viewing its edit history it has sat here for almost four months with no notable information. I vote Delete. --Ozgod 05:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete My dad went to this school so I thought I'd have a look to see if I could improve this. Sadly I don't think I can justify keeping it. The school has a website and an online prospectus here. This suggests that the school has a good Ofsted report plus a number of awards. However the awards are things such as Investors in People which a great number of schools have, not enough to make this school notable. The website also mentions some press articles, but all of them are in the local evening paper. The school is named after Field Marshall Montgomery but he didn't attend it.

    • Change vote to Keep following the edits from TerriersFan. I don't agree that all high schools are inherently notable though. Jules1975 10:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- Noroton 23:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep - I have rewritten the article. This is a Specialist school, a Beacon school, and a school with 'Oustanding' Ofsted assessments that are infrequently and not-lightly awarded. In English education it would be hard to find many schools with more notable educational achievements than that. TerriersFan 01:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per TerriersFan's comments. Also, high schools are inherently notable, as I argue here. Noroton 03:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep per rewrite by User:TerriersFan and the presence of multiple sources to establish notability. -- Black Falcon 04:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. When I made the nomination, the page was little more than "Montgomery High School is a high school in Blackpool. Here's its webpage." As rewritten, I think the article demonstrates sufficient notability. --ubiquity 12:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Jules1975's original reasoning. The edits don't convince me. WMMartin 14:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The re-write has established notability. It is one of a few elite English schools which has achieved Beacon status and has an outstanding OFSTED report. There is plenty of scope for expansion. However, I don't think we really need to know trivial details such as the cycling initiative. Dahliarose 16:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the arguments expressed at the essay User:Noroton/opinions. Edison 23:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per reasons above - rewrite etc,LordHarris 23:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
