[edit] Greenbrier High School

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

Aside from being absurdly POV and looking like a promotional brochure, fails WP:SCHOOL for its lack of reliable encyclopedic material. Biruitorul (talk) 03:56, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - large high school. Article needs work but that is an editorial, not an AfD, issue. Multiple state sports championships clearly establish notability together with the many secondary sources available for article expansion. TerriersFan (talk) 04:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. TerriersFan pretty much summed it up. It's not a great article yet, but deletion isn't the answer and WP:SCHOOL is only a proposed policy that still doesn't seem to have a consensus. HDow (talk) 06:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete for failure to establish notability. - Chardish (talk) 06:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. This is the school that suspended a student for wearing a Pepsi t-shirt on Coke Day. Greenbrier is a poster child for corporate sponsorship of schools. Just a small sample of the coverage: Michael Moore, Associated Press, S.F. Examiner, Teacher Education Quarterly, The Independent and plenty of books. • Gene93k (talk) 07:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as plenty notable from what I see. A valid high school stub. Sting au Buzz Me... 11:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per above - David Gerard (talk) 15:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, cleanup, expand to include more information about the above mentioned suspension and remove the POV problems, of which there are a few. School is notable, though, and the article is not so far gone that it can't be fixed. Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep invalid nomination. The cited proposed guideline that the nominator is using as the basis for deletion actually says that all high schools are considered notable unless there is no encyclopedic content. It does not use the word reliable, which implies a requirement for cited sources. Encyclopedic content means that content about which prose can be written, which is contrasted to listing-only information. This school passes. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 22:17, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Is that just your definition of "encyclopedic", or is there a policy that distinguishes between it and "reliable"? Biruitorul (talk) 02:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
