The result was keep. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 17:02, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable school, clearly an autobiographical article, written solely to glorify the school, odd formatting that is not in accordance with WP:MoS. Turn it into an encyclopedia article or delete. AmiDaniel (talk) 04:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Provisional delete, if left in the current state - it's a very one-sided article, and per nom, should be deleted. However, if this article was completely re-written, or even stubbed, I could be swung to a weak keep etc. However, for now, delete. Daniel.Bryant 04:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Provisional delete, also. As it stands, the article is more vanity than substance, ignoring the type of information found in most articles about high schools in favor of a focus on football noteriety. Delete, unless significantly edited. Keep per edits made by WhisperToMe. Consequentially 05:42, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. TJ Spyke 05:14, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It looks much better now. TJ Spyke 05:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I trimmed lots of glorifying stuff and I am adding relevant information. WhisperToMe 05:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep after changes made by WhisperToMe. -- Gogo Dodo 05:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Article looks good in its improved state. --Jayron32 05:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above. MER-C 06:16, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Let's not do the "schools are not notable" debate again. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 06:22, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I would still say delete as non-notable, but I do not recommend bringing high school articles to AfD, since it is unlikely to get consensus (for elementary and middle schools, it is less certain) and is more disruptive than keeping articles on schools that are non-notable, in my opinion. -- Kjkolb 07:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above Konman72 07:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep We have near-complete consensus that high school articles will be retained. In its current state, the article demonstrates that it more than meets the minimums needed to justify retention. Referring to "odd formatting that is not in accordance with WP:MoS" is a spectacularly poor reason to delete an article. This is yet another demonstration of the fact that this was an article that needed editing not deletion; AfD is a rather blunt and disruptive instrument to achive changes that could have been done in a far more productive manner.

• Keep it. — RJH (talk) 20:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as there has been near-complete consensus that high school articles will be retained. it also looks as article has been worked on recently as to some of the other issues. TheRanger 23:25, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the edited version works for me.  ALKIVAR™ 03:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as amended Merchbow 15:44, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Another very large school, ergo notable. -- Necrothesp 18:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above. I am a bit disappointed that the nominator, who is an experienced admin here, did not tag the article for cleanup. Style issues are not a reason for deletion. Silensor 17:28, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, another non-notable school. —ptk✰fgs 20:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: I'm sorry, which article were you reading when you made this comment? Silensor 21:19, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I disagree that there is a "near-complete consensus that high school articles will be retained" and I disagree with similar comments. Those who think that they are not notable have simply refrained from nominating them for deletion and have even declined to recommend that they be deleted when they are nominated by someone else. It would be wonderful if there were more instances of people putting the project ahead of their own feelings. It has not been that long since the heyday of high school AfD nominations and a huge number of articles were kept because no consensus was reached rather than a because there was a consensus to keep the article. Not infrequently, the majority recommended to delete the article but most were saved because of the high threshold needed for deletion. A few even reached consensus to delete, but that was admittedly rare. -- Kjkolb 22:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and allow for organic growth, another notable high school needlessly nominated for deletion. Bahn Mi 05:15, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep one of our better school articles, and the 'schools are not notable' argument has been lost many times over already. Cynical 11:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. If an article needs cleanup please put a cleanup tag on, dont bring it to afd.... Jcuk 16:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, large high school. bbx 20:55, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
