Complete absence of encyclopedic information. No assertion of notability. Wikipedia is not the yellow pages. Húsönd 01:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Keep There are quite a number of articles on schools with no particular assertion of notability other than being a school in the United States (e.g., see Category:High schools in the United States). Unless someone can point to a policy delineating why some schools are notable while others aren't, I don't see how this one is different. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 05:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment If you can point a policy delineating why are those schools notable in the first place, then your argument regarding this one is sound. Húsönd 06:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm a bit mystified as to why there are so many school articles, but this seems like an issue that should be dealt with in a general way, rather than with piecemeal AfD's. I've taken a couple steps to get some people with experience with schools to comment. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 02:44, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at another AfD from this same day, several people comment that "high schools are notable" in general, and someone pointed to a statement to that effect at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes#Education. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 02:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eusebeus's essay, posted below, gives me the answer I was looking for. I understand now that the issue of whether schools are inherently notable is one on which consensus has long been attempted in vain, thus the lack of a policy. I actually rather agree with the view that they are not. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 02:05, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Also delete the school articles BlueMoonlet is thinking about. ;) Seriously, though, OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a strong argument. CRGreathouse (t | c) 13:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Eusebeus. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 02:05, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This is another NN school and does not assert notability. --Stormbay (talk) 22:08, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
