[edit] Dartmouth High School (Massachusetts)

Dartmouth High School (Massachusetts) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

little more than a bookmark. High schools are generally considered notable but this isn't even a stub. Rtphokie 02:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep There are those who don't like it, but there is ample precedent that high schools are notable enough to warrant an article. Furthermore, nominator hasn't provided a rationale. faithless (speak) 02:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per precedent that high schools are generally considered notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Nominator hasn't really provided a reason. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 03:00, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: There are lots NN High schools, but this one, having recieved significant coverage, is notable. . - Rjd0060 03:01, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:OUTCOMES, high schools are kept. This was also the location of a student killing that received nationwide attention, including from the New York Times [1], and it instigated a U.S. Senate panel is investigate school violence in general [2].--Oakshade 03:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Good work on grabbing these sources! - Rjd0060 03:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The vast majority of mainstream American high schools will turn out to be notable with a little research. In the future, those wanting to delete such articles should at least present some evidence that they have looked for sources and didn't find any. Zagalejo^^^ 03:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
    • The burden of evidence is on those saying the article should be kept.
      • Don't be an ostrich. At least do a simple Google News search. Why do deletionists have a free pass to be lazy? Zagalejo^^^ 03:43, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Comment Why dont these sources get added to the article? This is a very very poor article.--Rtphokie 04:05, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I'll incorporate information from the second link if you add info from the first. I should be able to access the entire second article from Newsbank. Zagalejo^^^ 04:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No assertion of notability in the article. The article is just a 1 sentence stub. Also, OUTCOMES is not avalid keep reason because it's not giving any reason. It's basically saying "similar articles were kept, so this one automatically should be too". TJ Spyke 03:37, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Being one sentence is an argument for expansion, not deletion. --Oakshade 03:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Forget about it, the battle over high schools are over. --Brewcrewer 04:47, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep That the article is short is a reason to improve it, not to delete it. Maxamegalon2000 06:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. —Camaron1 | Chris (talk) 12:43, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I have added the firsr ref. Well done for finding it. Can you add another? Yes I mean you. Thx Victuallers 17:40, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Withdrawing AfD, article still needs attention but notability has been demonstrated sufficiently.--Rtphokie 17:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
