[edit] Highland Middle School (Libertyville, Illinois)

Highland Middle School (Libertyville, Illinois) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Article was prodded and deleted but restored on request at WP:DRV, so it's now here for full deliberation. Procedural listing, I have no opinion. ~ trialsanderrors 01:36, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, nothing notable about this middle school. --Dhartung | Talk 02:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, Unable to find anything notable about this school. Searches in Google only pull up school web sites and google news only pulls 5 hits as of today. Nothing that justifies keeping article. Further research indicates that the author may have a COI based on his/her username and previous edits. According to WP:Schools, Structure nothing indicated meets indicated criteria.

    • I think we can safely assume that 90% of school articles are started by their students. I don't even know if that counts as COI. ~ trialsanderrors 04:03, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, per above. Caim 03:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Rob. Nothing notable about this school. TJ Spyke 03:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Barely above the threshold of being considered a directory entry, and far below the threshold of notability. -- Kicking222 04:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above, it's just a directory entry. MER-C 05:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, another nn school. SkierRMH,07:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete nice school, nice people, nice town. Not notable Shermerville
  • FWIW, given the howling mob, this should be kept. All schools are inherently notable. I think a good criterion for "notability" would be whether more than a handful of people would notice if the thing in question was removed tomorrow. Grace Note 10:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
    • "Howling mob"? What an ironic thing to say, given that (1) the reason to delete is based on a guideline which is based on policy, (2) your reason to keep is based on an idiosyncratic definition of notability, and (3) at most school AFD's, the howling mob is on the other side, making arguments to keep that are not grounded in policy.

  • Speedy delete, not notable enough. Sorry. --Jrothwell (talk) 15:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as it doesn't even claim to meet the proposed guideline Wikipedia:Schools3 (which I support) or even the proposed guideline Wikipedia:Schools (which is too inclusionist in my eyes). No independent sources used, so no reason to believe that it meets the primary notability criteria. GRBerry 03:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
