Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Etobicoke Collegiate Institute
I take no stand on this issue, except to note that the above arguement is doubly faulty: First of all, there is no statement that all High Schools are presumed notable.  High Schools face the same burdens of proof as to their notability as do ANY OTHER single subject at Wikipedia.  Secondly, the Jimbo quote provided (and it should be noted that Jimbo's one-off statements never trump consensus.  Jimbo is very important, but his mailing list quotes are not Holy Scripture), does NOT give carte-blanche to create an article on every high school in existence.  Indeed, it argues directly AGAINST that.  The context for this quote from Jimbo is simply that each article is to be adjudged OF ITS OWN MERIT, not in relation to other articles.  All he is saying is that PROPERLY WRITTEN AND REFERENCED articles about high schools should not be deleted EVEN IF crappy articles about high schools SHOULD BE deleted.  It is a statement of the oft-cited arguement , which again, means that you cannot argue the merits of an article in relation to other articles, ONLY in relation to established and accepted guidelines like .  This article does not seem to meet the threshold of  YET, and I would like to see some references provided before I make a decision on how I feel about it, however the above non-arguement does not seem a valid keep defense
