Deletion of St. Andrew's Episcopal School (Amarillo, Texas)

Comment: Given that its entire history is documented and only one sentence in the article is unsourced, I see no pressing policy-based reason to delete this article. That leaves us with notability guidelines to argue over, and in this case they can be interpreted either way. This particular school does appear to have received a slightly higher-than-average level of coverage for sporting and scientific achievements, and semi-significant coverage in pieces on other topics like http://amarillo.com/stories/011908/obi_obit1.shtml this one. Maybe - just maybe - enough to meet . I don't envy the admin who has to close this

Comment: Re-reading the foregoing, I am distressed to see this discussion taking on some aspects of a personal attack on the user who created the article, who (although the account was registered several years ago) is a new contributor who seems to be getting |bitten hard for his first article contributions. Focus should be on the article, not on the motives or inferred motives of the article's creator. As for the assertions made regarding #Education, I must say that discussion participants are holding this article to a far higher standard than I have seen in past outcomes of many school-related AfDs I participated in over the last few years. For example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blountville Middle School (one that I nominated) was closed as a keep, although both http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blountville_Middle_School&oldid=229493177 at the time it was closed and Blountville Middle School|as it now exists I see no more credible a claim of notability there (and far less sourcing) than exists currently for St. Andrew's. "Run of the mill" is an excellent descriptor of many school-related articles I've dealt with that did get "merged and redirected" (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Columbus_Elementary_School&oldid=234736098 this one in New York, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brainerd_Baptist_School&oldid=252064266 this one in Tennessee, and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Langtoft_Primary_School&oldid=265476808 this one in England), but in my experience any school that makes are credible claim at some sort of notability gets retained. Please look at the article and evaluate it on its merits, not at the user who created it

Comment: Although this is not a primary school (which usually ends at grade 2 or 3), it's not a high school. However, the school's performance in the national middle school science bowl is a distinctive that would make this school notable. I'd like to see some third-party reliable sources (and less promotional language in the article), though, to establish |general notability
