• speedy under G11: Spam High schools are generally considered notable, but this is clearly spam and should be deleted. No objection to recreation as a neutrally worded stub. Note that the source used does not appear to support the content [1]. Yoenit (talk) 12:26, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I've removed the puffery, so it reads less lile an advert. Stephen! ^Coming... 14:34, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I finished cleaning up the article so it is a now a proper stub. Note that Hu Jintao is an alumni from this school. That name did not mean anything to me, but he happens to be the paramount leader of China. Now I am well aware notability is not inherited, but I would be very suprised if this school did not receive a fair share of media attention in China itself.

• Weak Keep If it is verifiably a high school, then it should get the general assumption of notability per general outcomes of previous hundreds (or thousands) of AFDs over the past several years. My concern is that editors able to read Chinese verify that reliable sources support it being or having once been a high school. The Google translation linked above by Yoenit is mostly gibberish, but in some places seems to say it is ""Taizhou Middle School." but in other places that its graduates go to university. A middle school would not get the assumption of notability. Reliable sources are helpful, especially to avoid multiple articles about the same foreign school under various transliterations.

• Keep—Seems to be somewhat notable in its own right. Ranked among the top 100 schools in China.[2] President Hu Jintao is apparently an alumni. Regards, RJH (talk) 22:09, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Should this AFD be closed? The reason it went to AFD was because of the spam-like content, not because of notability. The article has been converted into a proper stub now, and notability doesn't appear to be in doubt. Stephen! ^Coming... 13:14, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I expect it could be snow-closed at this point, or the nom may wish to withdraw ... --Epeefleche (talk) 08:13, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
