Major POV violations. The user who created the article obviously has connections to the school, since their only edits are to the article. Spam, obviously. Cool Blue^{talk to me} 19:21, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. WP:POV is not a reason to delete an article, nor is WP:COI. You should assert a reason for deletion based on policy. There are some silly claims made as if this were a school brochure, but those can be corrected. The only question I could see is whether the school is notable, but you didn't bring that up. --Dhartung | Talk 21:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll bring up WP:SPAM right now. Non-notable. The school is private, so it's looking for ways to bring in money. It was definitely written by someone unfamiliar with Wikipedia, and probably thought that they could just use it as a free advertisement. Cool Blue^{talk to me} 22:24, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - POV, yes. Notable, seems to be - over 20,000 Ghits, some seem reliable. Ryan Postlethwaite 23:26, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:GHITS is barely a reason for keeping. And I bet if you go to #13,000, or something, it won't even pertain to the school, at that point. Cool Blue^{talk to me} 23:34, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Have you checked my search? It's quite specific, as I said, some sources seem reliable. It needs a re-write and sources adding, but that's not a reason to delete (if sources are available). Ryan Postlethwaite 23:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Article has been almost completely rewritten to address POV concerns. Details have been added regarding the school's recognition by the Blue Ribbon Schools Program. All necessary federal government and newspaper articles have been carefully and unobtrusively manufactured and added to the article to support the claim of notability. Alansohn 03:11, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete As the article itself says, blue ribbon schools areth top 10 percent. That is an enormous number of schools, and in districts with relative high-quality schools, almsot all the schools can be in that group. It may be the highest honor the DOE can give, but it is their only honor--and it doesn't mean much. I followed the link to Country Day School movement, where it appears that almost all their schools are N, or so they like to think. If Blue Ribbon is all it take, probably they are.

• Keep current version, notability is demonstrated through reliable sources. RFerreira 04:25, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- Butseriouslyfolks 04:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, we have enough disk space to provide coverage for the top 10 percent of schools. Burntsauce 17:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
