Non-notable school. PKT 19:12, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn - see below. TerriersFan 02:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination, there doesn't appear to be anything notable about this school. TJ Spyke 21:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Droylsden per WP:OUTCOMES. There seems to be at least one notable alumnus who has attended, if this can possibly be expanded with better reliable sources I could be persuaded to keep. Burntsauce 22:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep (change of !vote) in light of recent changes made to the article. Burntsauce 16:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep General consensus on notability per WP:OUTCOMES for such schools, along with the inclusion of a notable alumnus, with reliable source provided. Article would benefit greatly from expansion. Alansohn 05:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Upgrading vote based on the expansion and additional sources added to the article. The usual kudos to TerriersFan for making the effort to improve articles when most people just stand by and do absolutely nothing. Alansohn 00:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:OUTCOMES with improvements, but no real opposition to a suitable merge and redirect either. RFerreira 06:11, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I normally support articles about high schools but there is very little to salvage in this one. I support the merge-and-redirect idea. PKT 12:29, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Keep Very good work by TerriersFan has made this an article well worth keeping. I would withdraw the nomination if I knew how to do it! PKT 01:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete or alternatively merge non-notable and non-salvageable article. CRGreathouse (t | c) 14:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Consensus has shown that high schools are notable as indicated by WP:OUTCOMES and the nom has given no reason why this one should be singled out for deletion. --Oakshade 00:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. —Camaron1 | Chris 18:52, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - another high school with plenty of sources available to make expansion easy which I have started to do. This is a controversial, newsworthy school with the required multiple sources to meet WP:N. It also has had an unusually full parliamentary mention. TerriersFan 23:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - it seems to meet the guidlines of other school articles on notability Arthurrh 00:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete: This one isn't being "singled out for deletion". There are several schools nominated AfD or PROD every day, as they should be. This is a non-notable school, regardless of what prior statistics say. CCC you know! - Rjd0060 04:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • High schools are not being deleted per Consensus, regardless if users try to prod or AfD them every day (which, they are not by the way). There is no indication that WP:CCC is occurring. Do you have a specific reason why you think this particular high school is non-notable? Don't like the sources? Have you noticed even the nominator changed their mind to keep due to the article improvements? --Oakshade 05:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Almost all high school articles are now being kept--the exceptions are almost exclusively copyright violations or one-sentence articles giving inadequate information even about existence or location. Articles on junior high schools and elementary schools are indeed being merged or deleted frequently. that does seem to be the present consensus.Maybe now we can concentrate on improving these articles instead of trying to remove them. Perhaps a few may have no elements of notability even if ta thorough search were to be made, but it isnt worth the work to argue them and delete them. I changed my mind on this--I usedto be mroe restrictive, but the arguments to make the necessary distinctions were not productive when so many of the schools did turn out to be notable. Just as this one didDGG (talk) 10:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:HEY. Well done. ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 11:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - A high school article which is well referenced and establishes notability through alumni and awards . I do not see how deletion is needed. Camaron1 | Chris 11:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepSchool is notable. Article has references. LordHarris 16:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
