[edit] Berwick High School
not notable Monotonehell 13:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge with Berwick, Pennsylvania as the article is short and the community of Berwick is not so big that a school district article is advisable. Regarding the claims about football achievements, it does seem to have some merit even though no sources are cited. A look through Google revealed this and this from USAToday which might do as references. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment — I can't support keeping this article in its current form. — RJH (talk) 19:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete The entire article is about the school's football team, which is only regionally notable. As it currently stands, this fails any and all school criteria. -- Kicking222 23:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, or merge/redirect. Basically an empty article -- I don't think the team is even truly regionally notable. (I'm living in the region at the moment. The team gets the coverage I'd expect of high school football. This article's claims, and the ones in the town's article, are likely a bit inflated. I have to admit, though, I'm not a big football fan, and particularly not of American football.) Shimeru 07:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge for now to incubate it. Just H 22:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep as notable as many of the other articles in Category:High schools in Pennsylvania. Honbicot 14:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment That suggests bad things about many of the other articles in that category. Good grief, I hope most of them are in better shape than this one... Shimeru 17:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Merge - School stubs should be merged to the parent community article, and this is clearly just a stub. If someone establishes notability and grows it, they can split it out again later. For now, merge. Georgewilliamherbert 01:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to Berwick, Pennsylvania or keep and expand using reliable sources. Silensor 03:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
keep and expand - their are numerous high schools that are listed. this one does have some notability CarmenBryan 08:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- This was the high school of Jimmy Spencer, and I remember hearing that Berwick won several statewide football championships. However, unless someone locates sufficient sources, this is just a directory listing. Unless sourced and claims of notability added, merge and redirect to Berwick, Pennsylvania (or to its public school district if there's a valid article for it). The competing schools notability guidelines agree on handling unsourced stubs. Barno 18:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
