Well, the good thing is that both those of us who would like to get rid of many of these articles and those of us who would like to keep them, agree that AfD isn't working :-)

What, if any, are the notability criteria for schools?
The word "school" appears somewhere in the article. Seriously. There was a VfD a couple years back that garnered a large number of "keep, schools are inherently notable" votes, even though the article was a hoax and the school in question did not actually exist. Another VfD from around that time resulted in a "keep" for the same reasons, when article was actually a vanity piece about a one-person business that happened to have "school" as part of its name.
Yeah. It's an unfortunate reaction to various concerted efforts to purge the school articles. This is part of why the structure of en:wp AFD is demonstrably problematic.
