Unreferenced, no notability Mdbrownmsw 14:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 09:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- -- pb30<talk> 12:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep High schools are generally considered inherently notable, especially when the article is more than a stub like this one. DarkAudit 13:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

*Delete The school does not appear to have any claim to notability. The content is all directory-style information and not at all suitable for an encyclopaedia. Dahliarose 14:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment erm, not now it isn't; all the directory information has been removed and replaced by sourced, encyclopaedic content. TerriersFan 23:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Keep. The article has been much improved, is very well referenced and notability has been established. Dahliarose 23:23, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

*Delete, all schools are not inherently notable. This one fails to establish any notability and there are no third party reliable sources which show that it's notable (such as awards it has won, famous alumni, anything. Give us something to work with.) Corvus cornix 17:17, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep based upon Alansohn's edit. Corvus cornix 02:28, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Delete per WP:N as notability is not even asserted and WP:V as no asserted facts are cited to reliable sources. --Butseriouslyfolks 18:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep new version of article as Blue Ribbon status satisfies WP:N. Thank you for creating a quality school article. --Butseriouslyfolks 18:20, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as above. Eusebeus 19:02, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and possible merge some info into relevant articles.--Svetovid 20:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for my usual reasons. -- Necrothesp 00:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, a mildly encyclopedic subject with multiple non-trivial reliable sources. Burntsauce 19:19, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep as updated, the article makes rather explicit and strong claims of notability with national recognition by the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, and multiple state athletic championships. This just might be the type of material that is "something to work with". Issues regarding "directory-style information" has been addressed. As with the overwhelming majority of high schools in the United States, there is ample material to demonstrate notability. It's amazing what can be found in just a few minutes when your goal is to improve articles. Alansohn 20:11, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, now that Alansohn fixed the article and showed its notability. I ask the deletors to rethink their stance, as their "vote" was for a very different version of the article now.--Wizardman 01:18, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep as a Blue Ribbon school, and now it has been well sourced up. TerriersFan 02:16, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep blue ribbon schools are in the topmost percentile... they are therefore notable in my book.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 22:44, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the above. --Myles Long 00:00, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per a "keep" vote above from some moron in the U.K. who reverts good faith edits to articles. Zero tolerance for arrogant power tripping geeks! Puppy Mill 00:39, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article has improved dramatically from where it was at the time of the nomination. Trusilver 16:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
