• Keep, It seems that the school was the first high school open to African-Americans west of the Mississippi, back in 1875.[1] I've put the source on the page. AnteaterZot (talk) 00:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep high schools are acccepted as prima facie notable, a fortiori, this one. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 00:30, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It was created as a stub for the opportunity to expand upon it. The page was created today, a google search might not reveal notable sources; but, that does not mean they do not exist in a local archive, etc.--Kenneth M Burke (talk) 00:31, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Ditto keep, published book source cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kenneth M Burke (talk • contribs) 01:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep first african-american high-school west of the Mississippi. Arthurrh (talk) 00:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - added notable alumni. Arthurrh (talk) 01:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - first african-american high-school west of the Mississippi is notable. Tiptoety (talk) 00:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and move to Charles Sumner High School or Sumner High School. A Google Scholar search for "Sumner High School" got what should amount to some reliable sources. The article is apparently misnamed, which is where this AfD came from. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 01:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - it should be renamed, but location will probably be required, there are other Sumner High Schools, for example the google search shows one in Kansas City. Probably Sumner High School (St. Louis) Arthurrh (talk) 01:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
    • That will probably be fine. --Kenneth M Burke (talk) 01:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - definitely notable given information added. Hal peridol (talk) 02:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and rename. I'll leave the rename outside of the AFD,but the discussion has it spot on. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 02:34, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - obviously notable. The nominator should reconsider his approach. AfDing an article 109 minutes after creation is wrong; initially the page should have been tagged for notability. TerriersFan (talk) 04:17, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Strong claims and evidence of notability. Alansohn (talk) 05:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per pretty much everyone. Maxamegalon2000 06:18, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Obvious, strong keep: I presume the extreme claim of notability pointed out by AnteaterZot was unknown at the time of the AfD. Someone please WP:SNOWball this. CRGreathouse (t | c) 13:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Thank you to those that gave their support to keep this contribution to Wikipedia. --Kenneth M Burke (talk) 21:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
