Subject is non-notable. -Vaarsivius (Talk to me.) 19:16, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep there is coverage by Tulsa World and it is a charter high school. Wikipedia has a lot of articles covering high schools. Racepacket (talk) 19:33, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notability is always relative when it comes to schools, and I can say personally that in Tulsa, Oklahoma (where the Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences is located) the subject of this school is indeed notable. Why is this less notable than other high schools in the same category? Friginator (talk) 20:07, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Could perhaps do with a ref or two, but as a charter school I would think it notable. I notice that the nominator seems to use the same sentence - at least in the other AfDs I've encountered that name in. Could I suggest that a slightly more informative nomination would be a good thing? Peridon (talk) 20:40, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; WP:OUTCOMES#Education tends to give high schools de facto notability unless the information violates WP:V. Also, as an aside to the nominator, simply stating "[s]ubject is non-notable" is a very weak deletion nomination rationale that almost borders on WP:IDONTLIKEIT. --Kinu ^t/_c 23:15, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Nominator is a new editor, and just started an account two days ago. Also hasn't yet made too many real edits to articles, yet has nominated five articles for deletion using Afd in the last 8 hours (This one, Joe Lake, Mucklewain, Richard S. Baron and Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All). In my opinion, this deletion discussion seems to be coming from a bit of over-zealousness when it comes to editing, and not any substantial lack of notability.

Keep per standard practice for verifiable U.S. high schools.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 05:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as noted above. According to my own standards, it passes. It is an accredited charter school. It has a significant staff size that indicates it is a large enough high school. There is at least one reliable source to verify its existence. The new editor may not be aware of the rules, but I think this discussion refreshes the consensus about high schools as pre se notable.
