[edit] Forest Lawn High School

Forest Lawn High School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

non notable school, does not pass WP:SCHOOL criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia, sites no references AlbinoFerret (talk) 12:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC) WP:SCHOOL does not state that High Schools receive a free pass on notability.AlbinoFerret (talk) 06:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. There is almost always suitable sourced material available for high schools-- and our practice is to consistently accept them rather than argue about each one, since it will almost certainly be notable. DGG (talk) 13:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

There is a criteria for inclusion WP:SCHOOL, just because a school exists does not mean it should remain on Wikipedia. AlbinoFerret (talk) 16:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - substantial high school that is significant in its community. We delete not because the article is not sourced but if sources are not available and there are sufficient available to meet WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 18:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

If there were any notability according to WP:SCHOOL then you may have a point. But there isn't any and no references to even suggest that there are. AlbinoFerret (talk) 18:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. It is generally trivial to find reliable sources for expansion of high schools. Should you believe this is not the case for this school, WP:SCHOOL#Failure to establish notability procedure is not to delete but to merge to the district. DoubleBlue (Talk) 19:57, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. It satisfies my personal high school notability criteria.—RJH (talk) 20:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per Wikipedia:Notability (high schools)‎ Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 23:39, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

That is an essay, written by you! Not only that , it was written this morning[1]. It also is contrary to WP:SCHOOL, the work of multiple editors that suggests that schools need to show some notability. AlbinoFerret (talk) 13:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

So what? Are you saying that I can't cite my own essay when !voting in AfD? Is there some rule about that? If so, I think I'll ignore it. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 22:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

What I'm saying is that it holds no weight. Its not a guideline or policy. You might just as well have written it here. That you didn't disclose that you wrote it when you posted it here. I could write an essay saying that schools that don't show notability should be removed from Wikipedia, at least that one wouldn't conflict with Wikipedia guidelines.
