Comment -- The accepted view used to be that all secondary schools are notable. This was partly because it was impossible to stop pupils and ex-pupils writing about their school. The current view does not accept that, but such articles are relatively harmless. On the other hand we should discourage articles that are mere place-holders. This is not such.

Comment - the school has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Manannan67 (talk) 07:24, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article does not give evidence why the school would be notable enough for inclusion. Everything is rather standard, with a principal doing nice things after his retirement. The Banner talk 16:13, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- He was principal for almost 25 years; presumably he had an effect on the place. Manannan67 (talk) 05:14, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - That may be the case, but the school is not notable because what he did after retirement. The Banner talk 11:58, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as has enough newspaper coverage to pass WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 18:06, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Easily satisfies WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:08, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
