High school, referenced only to itself. Deprodded by User:Necrothesp who stated: "all verified secondary schools are generally held to be notable". However, as I indicated in my prod comment, this article as written fails Wikipedia:SCHOOL#Notability. In particular, if we look at Wikipedia:Notability (high schools), we note that those schools must still meet generic notability criteria, which this article, lacking any independent references, fails to meet. As such, this article seems to fit the situation discussed at here and probably should be redirected to some list. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:07, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is strong consensus documented at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES that secondary schools are notable unless completely obscure or a hoax. Here is a listing from the Conference of Independent Schools of Ontario]. Here is their International Baccalaureate listing. Here is their listing at Canada Helps.

Keep. As said above by Cullen. Rafaelgriffin (talk) 15:18, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Secondary schools are notable by long-standing precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:54, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per strong and long-standing precedent documented at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:27, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Cullen. →Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 04:35, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a high school. No reason to think that sources cannot be found to meet WP:ORG. We keep high schools for very good reasons; not only do they influence the lives of thousands of people but they also play a significant part in their communities. Expansion not deletion is the way to go with such stubs. The Whispering Wind (talk) 18:59, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
