  • Speedy keep per nominator. (It's not often you can keep per nom....) --N Shar 19:09, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
    • What is your reason for voting speedy keep? The nom even says it's a NON-NOTABLE school. TJ Spyke 01:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
      • The nominator voted keep and stated that he was nominating the article because Big Brother told him to. --N Shar 06:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No notability established, little more than a directory. TJ Spyke 01:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete As you will see from the article's talk page I prodded this yesterday. It's an entirely non-notable school. Jules1975 14:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability is neither asserted nor demonstrated. Further, references/sources are inadequate. WMMartin 15:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Jimbo Wales [1] and continue to improve through the normal editing process. Silensor 20:25, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Silensor. --Myles Long 20:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep wait a second... listed for deletion and then voted KEEP by the nom... and this isnt already closed as a speedy keep?!?!?! wtf? Speedy Keep.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 23:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the comments above. Excuse me if I'm a bit perplexed as to why this was nominated for deletion. RFerreira 08:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Jimmy Wales comments, linked to above, appear to contradict Wikipedia's policies on notability. This school appears (from the information given in the article) not to satisfy the general guidelines for notability nor the proposed notability guidelines for schools. As far as I can see, articles on non-notable schools get deleted frequently. With the greatest of respect to Mr Wales, I don't agree with him. Wikipedia is accepted as not being a list of everything, which is why articles on non-notable schools or non-notable anything else get deleted. To my mind there is no difference between 1000 school articles on nn schools written by 1000 individuals and 1000 articles on nn schools written by one person.
  • So far as this particular school is concerned, the information in the article does not in my view suggest that it is notable and therefore I maintain it should be deleted. Obviously if someone can improve the article to indicate that the school is notable then it can be kept. Jules1975 11:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
