The result was speedy delete. WP:CSD#G3 blatant hoax. I am cautious about speedy deletion of hoaxes, but the total failure of all checks makes clear that this SPA-written article is indeed one. An NY school with 320 staff, 4,000 pupils and state-of-the-art technology, but no website, and no internet footprint? Pull the other one. Congratulations to Bleaney (talk), the only one to spot it in over four years. JohnCD (talk) 21:28, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any sources to confirm that this school exists. Bleaney (talk) 23:53, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unverifiable. Searches only get hits on Wikipedia mirrors. ED.GOV lists no such school in New York. It should be there if it has been open since 2008. This supposed IB school is not found on IBO.ORG. • Gene93k (talk) 01:18, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Everything I found via Google are Wikipedia mirrors. This also returns no hits and a Google Books search also returned no results. Might be a joke inspired by this product. Searching for the alleged motto like here returns only Wikipedia mirrors. -- Toshio Yamaguchi 16:19, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. In spite of our practice to keep high schools, this school is absolutely unverifiable and does not even appear to have its own website. Unless the article is wrongly named, or the school has changed its name, there is nothing to prove its existence, or that it existed. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:51, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Tagged as G3 - Main Google searches won't always be helpful so I searched Google News but with no avail. There isn't any reliable evidence to support Tommy Hilfiger's association or to support a redirect so until sources show this actually existed, I'm tagging the article as a hoax.
