Comment. There appear to be some interesting articles on google news but I don't have access. DoubleBlue (Talk) 01:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article already has multiple, reliable, independent sourcing, therefore meets WP:N. Calling it "nonnotable" is contrary to Wikipedia policy, and in an obvious way.Noroton (talk) 01:38, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: The news article about food tampering isn't notable (here, though perhaps on an article about food tampering), but being one of a small number of "Schools to Watch" is presumably notable. Without more research I'm not sure, but I lean to erring on the side of keeping the article. CRGreathouse (t | c) 03:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this is a well written article on a significant school. I have access to High Beam and there are plenty of substantial sources to easily meet WP:N. For example [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], etc TerriersFan (talk) 04:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Article makes weak claims of notability as it currently stands. As additional sources are added, I will reconsider my vote. Alansohn (talk) 05:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, we gotta respect the sourcing. AnteaterZot (talk) 05:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; most of the article is completely OR and almost first-person. The food tampering incident is the only issue of notability and in my opinion, given the lack of any other issue, it should have its own article and not be establish this school one.Epthorn (talk) 08:15, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. TerriersFan has shown several news articles with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. DoubleBlue (Talk) 17:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
