[edit] Grove high school

Notability not asserted, read like advertisemnt Alex Bakharev 22:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per my arguments here. Soltak | Talk 23:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as high schools are inherently notable. Noroton 02:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't see why high schools are "inherently notable". Notability for our purposes has a clear definition, and right now this article doesn't demonstrate this. I'm entirely resigned to the fact that when this debate is closed the closing administrator is simply going to count up opinions and go with the flow, because the truth is that closing administrators are never actually "bold", and the number of schools AfD debates that are closed by "keeping" articles that don't in any way meet our criteria for notability is legion, but now and then I do just want to ask: why should the rules on notability for schools be any different for our rules on other subjects? Notability is not, in Wikipedia, a matter of opinion. But, heck, little by little we're destroying the value of a Wikipedia entry, and that gets on my nerves. Just for once I'd like to see an adminstrator close a debate by actually sticking to our rules, not by counting opinions. WMMartin 11:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

So would you delete all small non-notable towns and villages as well? If not, why not? Noroton 20:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge a brief summary on the Grove, Oklahoma page for now. But I'll be happy to change my preference if the page gets better developed. — RJH (talk) 20:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per RJH. High schools are as notable and important as small villages and towns, I agree, but this content would be best served from the Grove article. (jarbarf) 00:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or merge with the town. I'd be delighted to keep a HS article about a notable school. But this one is a rather good example of what is not sufficient. DGG 00:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Grove, Oklahoma is an acceptable compromise for right now. Yamaguchi先生 02:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge per Yamaguchi, et al. --Myles Long 19:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. All schools are notable. Could use some work though. AntiVan 06:04, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and remove POV and original research.--Orthologist 16:50, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
