Schools cannot be A7'd. This article has no indication of importance, no sources, and barely any content. — Timneu22 · talk 18:11, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy delete~~~~: They may not be able to be speedily deleted per A7, but why not A1? This has no context whatsoever. I agree, delete if not speedy delete. GorillaWarfare ^talk 18:16, 21 July 2010 (UTC)~~ Withdrawn: I agree, it seems legitimate now, plenty of sources. GorillaWarfare ^talk 00:19, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hang on, please. I've located the school's website and a source or two that suggest that it may be a school of some historical significance. See eg [1]. I am going to try adding a bit of context and then we can reconsider if the article deserves to survive.--Arxiloxos (talk) 20:28, 21 July 2010 (UTC) Keep. I've added some text and sources. It's a significant high school (and apparently the only girls fee-paying school in Jersey, with a total of 700+ students) and thus should be kept under our usual outcomes for schools; moreover, it appears to be historically notable.--Arxiloxos (talk) 21:20, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The page that existed at the time of nomination clearly qualified for speedy deletion, but since then Arxiloxos has found (and added) a lot of good sourced information. The school apparently educates up to the end of the secondary level (usually an indicator of notability), the building is a landmark, and the school is the only one of its kind in Jersey. --Orlady (talk) 22:48, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Will withdraw AfD if and when GorillaWarfare changes his vote. (Cannot speedy keep if people voted "delete") — Timneu22 · talk 23:43, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
