Generally high schools don't get deleted at AFD. See: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools: "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are being kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists." - Since LfT has a high school component all I need to do is prove the high school exists.

@WhisperToMe: You can't cite WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES to prove notability. Going to be nominating for AfD.

I want you to observe what happens in this AFD. In fact I can, and will, cite Commonoutcomes, because that is going to be the outcome. Even though there is no policy saying "high schools are automatically notable" what happens is high schools are just about always kept in AFD. Remember that this is a volunteer project, and remember we all have limited resources and time we can devote to this project. When you try to use an AFD that won't result in deletion it uses up time and energy that could have been used for something else.

Background reading: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)/Archive_119#Articles_on_Schools_exempt_from_WP:A7 - Now it is true one can technically send any school article to AFD (what should never be done is G7) - What happens is that usually such articles are kept unless there's no evidence the school actually exists or it's something like a small home school with seven students. Please consider what DGG has to say here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/British International School Lagos - He explains why most high school articles are kept - it's for a systematic reason to prevent backlogs and time sinks in AFD.

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far Casliber (submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was Coemgenus (submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

1. Cas Liber (submissions), who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
2. Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points), second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
3. Cwmhiraeth (submissions), first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany. Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
4. Harrias (submissions), second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
5. West Virginian (submissions), from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
6. Rodw (submissions), from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
7. Rationalobserver (submissions), from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
8. Calvin999 (submissions), also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!
