This just another unnotable public high school --ASDFGHJKL=Greatest Person Ever+Coolest Person Ever 02:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. --ImpartialCelt 02:33, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete NN high school, fails even WP:SCHOOL's low standard as the article basically just says the school exists. TJ Spyke 02:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I don't see any claim of notability here. Out! --Brianyoumans 06:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete.I see a serious lack of content. I concur with TJ. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge a brief summary onto the Fallon page. — RJH (talk) 18:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - I have started a rewrite of the article. This is a school that has a high profile in the local community, a long history, and with notable features, and the way forward is to further develop the article, as is the way with all stubs, not to kill it off. TerriersFan 18:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. There's a bunch of little stuff, but (IMO) no one big thing that pushes it over the notability threshold. The closest is that award, but that makes the teacher notable, not the school. --UsaSatsui 20:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - first in the state in the academic league is about as good as it gets. Also, teachers do not win awards in isolation and such awards inevitably highlight the school. TerriersFan 20:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Good points, but I just disagree. --UsaSatsui 23:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Retool and Keep This is a good school, and has several qualities that make it notable: the award, the Bethany girl, and that it has been around over 90 years. Also, there are many other articles about high schools, even ones in Nevada, that don't have as much notability: Arbor View High School, Carson High School (Carson City, Nevada), Bonanza High School, Ed W. Clark High School, North Country Union High School, etc. The article itself does need work: some more facts would be great. Keep the article, but rework and improve it.

  • Simply because other schools are included doesn't mean this one should be, even if it is arguably more notable. School articles crop up like mayflies around here, and there's a huge hullabaloo about what makes a school notable...the kinks aren't worked out yet. --UsaSatsui 23:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. "[A]nother unnotable public high school" is a bad justification for nomination. I don't see why there shouldn't be an article for every public school eventually. Admittedly, the article is weak, but that certainly isn't justification for deletion. —xanderer 00:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Good enough notability claims for me in the rewrite, WP:SCHOOL is only proposed anyway. BryanG^(talk) 03:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Since it has been around since 1916 I would like to see more of it's history in rewrite. MarlaB 10:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Notability is neither asserted nor supported by the references. Being founded in 1916 doesn't exactly make the school old - unless my mathematics fails me that's less than a century - and anyway age per se isn't notable. The good teacher may ( or may not ) be notable, but the school doesn't automatically acquire notability by contagion. Doing well in a sports or academic league doesn't automatically convey notability, since the results could be simply due to random events: if we saw consistent evidence of the inculcation of ( say ) great academic prowess or softball skills this would be notable, but right now there's nothing to say that these events are due to the school doing something out of the ordinary. The closed circuit TV system and drug abuse are, sadly, entirely un-notable within the public school system. WMMartin 13:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. All high schools are notable - WP:SCHOOL is not policy, and in this case an active editor has been improving the article to establish notability to a level that will meet most deletionist requirements. AntiVan 05:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. No concerns are presented that would not be better solved by merging. Christopher Parham (talk) 22:04, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- Noroton 16:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep this one as an example of what a school article should be, two sources cited are secondary and substantial. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me Please review me!} 17:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep school is notable, has lots of references LordHarris 17:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Public high schools are inherently worthy of Wikipedia articles, and this article is well-referenced. --Elonka 21:23, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
