This article is about a non-notable middle school in a suburb of Athens, similar to hundreds of others. The original version was pretty much a list of the names of the teachers, created by a
SPA. It survived a
AfD nomination because of an apparent confusion with gymnasium which is a name used for some professional higher education institutions providing in some countries. There is nothing of this kind in Greece, where the gymnasio is the generic 3-year middle school for pupils aged 12-15.

del no evidence of notability of this middle school. 15:43, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
Delete, or Redirect to
Agia Paraskevi Non notable middle school with the subject's school district's web site as the source. An admittedly quick Google search only turned up a face book page, though if someone could search in the native language it might help. FWIW, this is a legacy article from 2009 when there was greater emphasis on
WP:BeBold than
WP:Verifiability. So mostly unsourced for 11 years. Back when, I thought "Gymnasium" meant "high school", as in German, though it now says "middle school". --Deepfriedokra(talk)17:34, 14 September 2020 (UTC)reply
@
Deepfriedokra: The "old" Greek Γυμνάσιο (Gymnasio) had 6 grades, and is usually translated as "high school" or "secondary school"; "modern" Greek Γυμνάσιο has 3 grades, and is translated as "middle school" (while "high school" is called Λύκειο [Lyceio] in Greek). ǁǁǁ ǁ

Delete Not even the slightest hint of notability; no sources in Greek, besides the facebook school page, and a blog by the "Parents Union" of the school, both inactive for years. ǁǁǁ ǁ

Comment:: The article is certainly of low quality, but I thought all secondary schools are notable on Wikipedia. Before trying to expand/improve it I would like an answer as to whether the notability policy for secondary schools has changed, so that my work will not go to waste.

On the other hand, public-funded schools that do not meet notability, as I understand it, and I've been away from AfD a long time, get redirected to the school system or the community. --Deepfriedokra(talk)09:02, 21 September 2020 (UTC)reply
