This is a non notable private school. A google search confirms the school exists but nothing to suggest it is notable. This is a very poor article which is completely unsourced - even the "website" link goes only to a spam-registration page rather than the school. B1atv 12:40, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. There are only 11 schools in Jordan with articles on Wikipedia. We need to have a selection of schools from different countries to counterbalance the current Anglo-American dominance. This school clearly has some notable elements and a Google search reveals further interesting achievements such as this page from the Jordan Times. The article currently reads as though it's been lifted from the school prospectus. The article needs improving and referencing not deleting. Dahliarose 21:54, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep with a bit of cleaning required. --TeaDrinker 22:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Cleaning is definitely needed (I'll take a stab after I'm done here), but keep per consensus on high schools. Bfigura ^(talk) 01:29, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Cleaned up quite a bit. Still needs work and sourcing though. --Bfigura ^(talk) 01:41, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. It clearly establishes a level of notability sufficient for inclusion. -- DS1953 ^talk 18:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC
• Keep. the article has been cleaned to a certain level, wikipedia might not need this article in its database, and it will not certainly be included in any notable encyclopedia, yet, users searching for information regarding this topic, will find this article quite helpful. Efforts to improve it have increased over the last few days, several editors especially Bfigura, TeaDrinker , and Dahliarose have been active in the area of lifting unsourced material and ad statements. The article also serves a bigger purpose as it describes a typical private jordanian school. Please note that some sources have been added to the article.--GermanCorrecter 16:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep A unique program and curriculum that clearly satisfies Wikipedia notability standards. Alansohn 06:29, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Alansohn, the program and curriculum meet our notability standards. RFerreira 00:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
