- KEEP Article was nominated for deletion ONE MINUTE after creation. Article was flagged as a Stub and not given any chance to develop. Article has already since been updated a bit further. EagleFan 16:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy keep. Article not given a chance to develop (renominate after some days/a week if the issue persists). AfD'd in 1 minute. -- Black Falcon 00:54, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. (a) I don't find the alumni argument convincing, and it is not part of Wikipedia's policy ( schools proponents' views notwithstanding ), (b) the article is inadequately reference/sourced, and (c) the article was created by someone who has been going along creating schools articles on a regular basis without then asserting or demonstrating notability. I don't have a problem with individual articles being created and then giving them time to grow, but this particular article is part of a whole group, many of which display the same pernicious pattern. It would be better for EagleFan to create articles on one school at a time, and work on them till they meet our standards, rather than simply impose his preference for inadequately documented schools articles on the project as a whole. As Wikipedia editors we all surely want high quality articles: we are not well-served by the bulk creation of low quality articles. WMMartin 14:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep. This was nominated for deletion one minute after creation? Seriously? Talk about biting the newcomers. (jarbarf) 00:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all high schools are inherently notable, as I argue here, but this one also has several interesting alumni. Noroton 19:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
