I am nominating this for featured article because this is a great article according to me. This is one of the best article about a high school i have ever seen in Wikipedia so therefore i'm proudly here to nominate this article to be a feature article. Comments are welcome!Trongphu (talk) 04:27, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Sadly this one is not up to snuff yet. The one paragraph lead alone is an indication (see WP:LEAD). Structure aside, the article is littered with [citation needed] and [dead link] tags. See the FA criteria for information and guidance. --Efe (talk) 13:59, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural comment/Suggest withdrawal - appreciate your enthusiasm, but you're supposed to discuss FAC noms with significant contributors before, not after nominating. Aside from that, I agree with Efe that the article is unfortunately not yet ready for FAC. You might consider a good article nomination or a peer review first. At minimum, you should deal with the tags on the article before nominating. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Agree with the above, also as a suggestion you may want to recheck and expand the lead to function as an "overview summary" of the whole article, not just an introduction with basic data (see WP:LEAD for more information). For example: What are the most important features of this school? Maybe expand on its Jesuit background aswell or add 1-2 more historical highlights in a second paragraph.
