The result was keep. However, I must note that there's no "policy" that says all high schools are automatically notable. It's longstanding precedent though. See WP:OUTCOMES. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:31, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sta. Cruz Academy[edit]

Non-notable school; author didn't state any reasons as to why it deserves to be included in an encyclopedia. So far I haven't heard of anything big or significant that occurred there. Blake Gripling (talk) 01:57, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

keep The policy is that a high school article is allowed to stay in Wikipedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:08, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non-notable organisation; no secondary sources showing it's particularly important or notable. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 06:43, 6 June 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Delete, not notable school. Creator needs guidance on writing an article. shows lack of RS. --Eaglestorm (talk) 07:24, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I absolutely agree with your last point; far better to provide the creator with advice and encouragement rather than trying to delete his page minutes after creation, as happened. TerriersFan (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As per previously established concensus, high schools are inherently notable. Edward321 (talk) 14:06, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Edward321 and Graeme Bartlett - previous consensus is that high schools are automatically notable. Would like to see more information in this article (number of pupils, for example), but this is not a reason for deletion. Mr_pand [talk | contributions] 15:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a significant institution in its town. Philippines schools always have a poor internet presence, particularly in English, and to avoid systemic bias we should await local sources. TerriersFan (talk) 18:11, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep We have precedence that schools are inherently notable. Besides, didn't Jimbo tell us to write about "our highschool"? :P Shrumster (talk) 22:02, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So does that mean I could write an article about my alma mater, even if practically no one knows much about it? If so, then it would cause a lot of cruft here. Blake Gripling (talk) 08:12, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - if your alma mater is a high school then please feel free to write a page on it and I'll help you source it. TerriersFan (talk) 12:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per established precedent that high schools are de facto notable ukexpat (talk) 03:08, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
