Article was previously PRODed under the description "A unremarkable, original, conflicted, self-published peacock." Unbeknownst to me, the move was undone shortly after by a dubious user that only has that edit under their belt. By the time I found out, it was too late. Basically, the description I gave earlier still stands. Not only that, but I think that snowballs were the motivation behind the revert. I Help, When I Can. [12] 01:40, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep according to well-established consensus that secondary schools (high schools) are presumed to be notable. This one is fairly large, and well-covered in reliable sources. Any shortcomings in the article should be addressed by normal editing rather than deletion. Cullen328 (talk) 01:50, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty much every previous discussion that AFD has ever faced when someone has nominated a high school... Bearcat (talk) 02:55, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep - If it's a High School, which this is, which exists, which this does, absolutely rock-solid community consensus is that a school is notable per se. I've taken the liberty of removing a mass of bad faith flags from the top of the article. Administrators should take note that there are shenanigans going on here and take action appropriately against evil-doers. Carrite (talk) 03:10, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment For a discussion of that consensus, see WP:HIGHSCHOOL. Cullen328 (talk) 05:04, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep if that idea really exists. if there are problems with the article, trim it back. hell, even trim it back to only the first sentence, and its still notable, per overwhelming consensus.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:31, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • SpeedySnow Keep In addition to the it's a high school argument, this one does clearly meet WP:N on its own merits. I don't see anyone way this article will be deleted. Monty845 08:35, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't see how this page is eligible for Speedy Keep. I guess those !votes will just be taken as standard keeps. Stickee (talk) 12:46, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Point taken. Stricken. Let it snow. Carrite (talk) 15:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per long standing consensus that high schools are notable. Stickee (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep What.. This is one of the most notable private schools in Nassau County, if not downstate, if Chaminade High School is notable, then so is Kellingberg. --Cleave and Smite, Delete and Tear! (talk) 15:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I was the one who took the Proposed deletion off this article. It seems more dubious that the article was marked for deletion. Reading the article, to me, it meets WP:N and I did not see where it did not meet WP:Verifiability. If you did not like the overall language of the article why not try and edit rather than an outright delete? Sirach73 (talk) 20:41, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - It's a high school and it seems to have received plenty of coverage by independent reliable sources. --Orlady (talk) 19:08, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - nomination is devoid of merit - apart from being a high school it clearly meets WP:GNG. TerriersFan (talk) 23:51, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - per precedent that high schools are notable if their existence is asserted. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:01, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
