[edit] School One

Currently a POV original research. Reads like a private school ad designed to attract new students. Notability of the institution is not asserted. Húsönd 00:37, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete reads like an advert, contains information that should be on the official site or a student handbook, notability not established. Ultra-Loser Talk / Contributions 02:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. It seems that people are learning how to mimic the appearance of a WP article in order to keep theirs around longer. N Shar 02:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. That kind of content belongs on your own website, not here. --JaimeLesMaths 05:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Its a 30+ year-old private, accredited High School. Consensus expressed other places on Wikipedia seems to indicate that high schools are inherently notable. As a (+) for this one, it DOES have a notably different approach to curriculum. As a (-), it only has about 90 students. The article is crappy; but poor writing, even non-NPOV writing, is NOT a criteria for deletion. Deletion should be based on the merits of the SUBJECT, not of the writing in the article. This one seems to barely meet baseline notablity requirements. --Jayron32 05:21, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Being a copyvio, however, is a reason for deletion. MER-C 10:33, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
