Speedy Keep This nomination is bad form. A two-day-old article by a new user should not be deleted so soon. Wait a couple of months, I say, or at least ask the creator to improve the article. And by the way, the instructions for deletion call on editors to FIRST consider other options, such as tagging the article. This may even qualify as biting the newbies. I've left a message on the article creator's talk page, but I can't see how this nomination would do anything but depress and discourage someone who's probably new to Wikipedia.Noroton 03:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC) (made minor edits Noroton03:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]
A couple of months? This is the only subject this user has worked on and they haven't done anything since the day it was created. Based on the content of the article, a google search, and the accepted idea that middle schools generally are not notable, I see no reason why this should be kept.

Response to Mr. Z-man's comment that the creator "haven't done anything since the day it was created" These are taken from the article's history log (admittedly AFTER Mr. Z-Man's comment):

Comment: OK, here's your notability, which ought to satisfy just about anyone (the new second paragraph of the article, where it's footnoted):
The Georgia state Department of Education awarded the school a "2006 Platinum Award for Greatest Gain in Percentage of Students Meeting and Exceeding Standards" after the school improved its percentage of students meeting and exceeding state testing standards. With 92.84 percent of students at or above state standards, a gain of 3.32 percent over the year before, the school improved more than 99.54 percent of middle schools in Georgia, according to the state's "report card" for the school.
Simply by looking at the school's Web page, Mr. Z-man could have seen that the school was given a platinum award, and a simple Web search led me to the school's "report card". Not rocket science. Noroton07:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
