Comment: Wikipedia is not a collection of pointless lists .  There is no entry for List of high schools in Ontario for example.  Is Wikipedia supposed to maintain a list of every high school in every province, state, or territory in every nation on Earth?  If not, what's so special about Alberta

Comment: High schools are generally considered notable (see #Education); thus this is not an indiscriminate directory, but a list of potential article topics. If it is a "long-winded" list, that is a reason to split, not to delete; though I don't find this list too "long-winded" or too broad at all—List of high schools in California is longer. The lack of a List of high schools in Ontario is only because |Wikipedia is not finished, not because such a list doesn't belong; we ''do'' have similar lists for :Category:Lists of schools in the United States|all fifty states of the United States, so I don't see why there shouldn't be one for each province of Canada. Also the existence of a category, or "should be a category" is not a reason to delete a list; see . This list serves all three of the #Purposes of lists|purposes of lists in Wikipedia: information, navigation, and development
