I read that high schools are supposed to be notable if they have 2,000 students or more but since this school never had more than 2,000 students at any one time I suspect that it needs to be deleted. --JuntungWu 06:59, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Exactly where did you read this? I'm still searching, so far in vain, for any evidence of consensus or policy regarding articles on high schools. As far as I know, every high school article is case-by-case on its own merits. Some of us try to have consistent personal criteria for voting on these articles, but they are personal. It is really helpful when people label such opinions as such, as -Iceaxejuggler has done below. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 14:38, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Looks notable to me (famous alumni, one of the first founded there, etc.) Keep--Samuel J. Howard 11:39, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)
- Famous alumni and first government founded are also notable Size isn't everything. :) Keep. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 12:13, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)
To be honest I am just worried from reading all of the talk about high schools having a high barrier for survive "Votes for Deletion" that this article (that I am hoping to work on later) may not survive the cull. --JuntungWu 14:50, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Also seems fine to me, regardless of the answer to my question on the talk page. Recommend a Keep. - RedWordSmith 17:29, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Delete. High schools have a high bar to meet to be notable. --Improv 19:18, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Seems to establish notability, keep —siro χ o 20:54, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)
Not a great list of alumni, one really, really famous one and a couple I haven't heard of. But since I suspect he makes the school notable for, ooh, about a billion people, it's a keep. Average Earthman 10:50, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. I guess you mean Sun Yat-Sen. Indeed politically, Henry Fok Ying Tung maybe the most powerful Hongkonger in modern China. -wshun 01:37, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Don't listen to all the naysayers who seem to claim that there's a policy on school notability. There isn't. It's just their personal opinion. -- Necrothesp 09:31, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Keep. I think we should keep all schools. --Iceaxejuggler 10:07, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- K Wiki is not paper, but some day it might be. Notable schools only, please. But being the first of its kind is notable enough, as is the particularly well-known (to grossly understate a point) alumnus. Chris 06:36, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Keep. It is notable. Besides that: Hail, Alma Mater! long live to Queen's College... ^_^ -- Felix Wan 20:18, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
