[edit] Westchester Academy

The school attempted to delete it by deleting everything on the page, they must have not known that that does not work. They apparently don't want it to exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AceKingQueenJack (talk • contribs)

• Delete If they dont want it to exist, they certainly have a right to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AceKingQueenJack (talk • contribs)
  • Comment. Not really. Refer to Daniel Brandt. DarthVader 07:34, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Although I see no evidence that the nominator's statement of fact is true (I see only removal of the infobox recently), I also see no evidence of notability in the article. Even if the school didn't want it to exist, standing practice is to ignore the fact that it is the subject of the article objecting and instead evaluate the reasons offered. Without evidence of notability, it should be deleted. GRBerry 02:51, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, seeing as WP:SCHOOLS was rejected there is no longer any blanket policy or reason to keep all schools. Stifle (talk) 15:45, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - since it includes secondary grades I regard that as notable. For me, this is a significant enough establishment to merit an article. However, if it is kept it needs to be slimmed down to a stub since it is mainly unsourced POV at present. BlueValour 22:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no claims to encyclopedic notability. Eluchil404 00:23, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - Please see the article now; I have cleaned away the rubbish and what is left looks far more notable than most schools of its size. It is not possible, now, to say it has no notability. BlueValour 01:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

  Sure it is, nothing about its age, quality, or buildings suggests encyclopedic notability to me; but then I feel that most schools are non-notable. Eluchil404 02:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, notable secondary school with the strongest athletic program in North Carolina, and the oldest independent school in the Piedmont Triad. How many schools do you know of with their own weather station? Silensor 09:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Silensor. Not all schools are notable, but this article provides several indications that this one is. Yamaguchi先生 09:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
