• Keep. Clear past precedent to keep verifiable high schools (let's hope we don't start keeping the unverifiable ones). Article is a stub, but the alumni list is quite impressive. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • I've seen those arguments a 100 times already - my comment was not "give me one reason to keep", it was "please tell me why this school is notable". Several people have voted to keep as the school is notable, yet I fail to find anything on the page that auggests it is. Has it been mentioned in the news? Have they set some sort of academic or athletic records? I know why many people voted to keep (the reasons you presented), I was wondering why other people claimed notability. -- Bachrach44 15:28, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • It meets the WP:SCH proposal from November. That is all that matters to me for the sake of civility anymore.Gateman1997 16:58, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm going to answer my own question since for some reason no one else could. this makes them notable. (An article in the NY times about a massive student walkout/protest). Keep in mind people that a simple vote is a lot less convincing and useful than explaining your vote. I'm chaging my vote to keep --Bachrach44 21:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
