This page is about a high school with 613 people in it, a fairly small school. It also has no listed significant alumni or any other information that makes it worth noting. Stellis 20:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I went to Catholic School, but there's nothing to make this one stand out from the pack. Maybe if the Pope swings by we can have an article. Ruby 20:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, non-notable. If, in all likelihood, kept, do not expand with transient and non-notable information for the sake of expansion. -Rebelguys2 23:35, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep All high schools are notable. The last couple of hundred to be nominated have all been kept. A couple of hundred school articles are added each week and in a few years Wikipedia will have an article about every high school in the English speaking developed world and many other schools besides. Nominating schools just wastes time so please don't do it again. CalJW 00:04, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Some high schools are notable. A few high schools are notable. The rest are just cookie-cutter entities, another Smartie in the box. As far as articles about every school in the English speaking world goes, I think that's (thankfully) wishful thinking - fortunately, it looks like a couple of the big stub-mill editors have run out of steam and the rate of production of these pathetic little articles is diminishing.

- I think you will find that you are the only engaging in wishful thinking. In the last 12 hours 12 different editors have started a school article. That come to nearly 9,000 a year at the current rate, and it probably hasn't peaked yet. It is neither here nor there whether there are any "big stub-mill editors".

- Keep and expand. Calwatch 03:51, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per the clear past precedent we have had on high school articles. Might as well be consistent in keeping this one as well. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:32, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. why would it be better to have less information available? i'm sure the school has some notable alumni that have yet to be added. Randella 02:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all high schools. - Randwicked Alex B 04:08, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
