[edit] Speedy

This is an article about a public school, thus not eligible for this criteria.

No, it only can't be deleted under the A7 (notability) criteria. Other criteria, such as the one it is tagged for, are fair game. Thingg^⊕⊗ 00:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

On one hand, it's a high school -- generally notable per WP:SCHOOLS. On the other, it isn't open yet. It has received some coverage, mostly critical, but that may be a WP:UNDUE issue so I don't know. I've neither 2nded nor declined the PROD since I'm fairly neutral but I did re-write it a bit. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 14:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

It asserts to be Oregon's first charter high school. I think that's sufficiently notable for the article to remain. The {{prod}} is for being written like an advertisement, and not in operation. The first is easily fixed. Does a school have to be operating—or have once operated—for it to be noteworthy? Dyson sphere is an example of something never known to be built yet which is deemed noteworthy. —EncMstr (talk) 04:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I'm not really sure what the guidelines are for not-yet operational schools, charter or otherwise. Someone has declined it, which was what I was leaning toward. Didn't want to be bitey because I was also the one to decline the speedy, but I think it minimally passes WP:ORG and can be expanded. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 12:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
