The result was merge. Petros471 13:32, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, now I find the school article does not exist. Therefore, changing closure to delete as merge is not possible. If an article on the school appears at a later date this article can be restored for a merge. Petros471 13:36, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Highland Rugby

high school rugby team that is apparently very successful. I removed a line from the article about a feature film on them coming out in 2007; until then, though, I think this is not an appropriate encyclopedia article topic. Plus, entirely unsourced, et cetera. If this is deleted, the logo Image:HR Logo.jpg should be deleted as well. Mangojuice^talk 14:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment my first reaction is to keep, since if all of the information contained in the wikipedia article (and the team's website) is true and verified, then this actually does seem notable. Sure, we don't want to keep many high school sports team's pages, but winning that many US championships, and a world championship, do convey a level of notability. The problem here, though, is I can't seem to find any third-party source verifying this information. For example, this Gsearch turns up nothing. I'm sort of surprised there is no WP article on World Schools Championship in the first place. In summary, I would !vote keep if any third-party sources were found, delete if not. Perhaps someone at Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby league could help? -- Deville (Talk) 15:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Fair criticism, I'll look into finding third party sources. Trust me, the results are legitimate, and the movie (starring Gary Cole, titled "Forever Strong")will be released next year. I'm new to editing/creating wikipedia articles, and this is my first attempt, so help me out here please. For now, here is one news article about the movie and a brief explanation of who/what Highland Rugby is. I'll be looking around for actual competition results, and when I find them I'll post them here. -- Nz tonto (Talk)

• Delete. High school teams are generally not notable. For now, this one does not appear to merit an article. What little material there is could easyly be merged into the school article if it needs to be kept. Vegaswikian 19:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into school article. Daniel.Bryant 04:32, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
