High school website. Article contains little assertion of notability, and doesn't meet the guidelines set out by WP:WEB. riana_dzasta 08:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete non notable website. Dave6 08:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - per nom, no assertion of notability. Quite literally something made up in school one day. Moreschi ^Deletion! 10:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Don't Delete not something made up in one school day, quite a hit in southern Indiana. Leave it to the WikiNerds to know nothing about a good sports site. IndianaHighSchoolGameday
  • I know this is frustrating for you, but insulting us and calling us "Wikinerds" is not going to convince people to keep the article.Sarah 14:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
    • My apologies, made a wrong generalization I was just offended by the "made up in school one day" comment, due to the amount of time we have put into this. IndianaHighSchoolGameday 20:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Mind showing how this site happens to be notable, then? NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 20:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, per nom. Come back if something interesting happens. Edeans 00:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• We've been profiled by the Mitchell Times and the BNL Star, and the Bloomington South Optimist. Why don't you guys focus on deleting things like Sara Jay or do you want this to be a porn directory? Indianahighschoolgameday 01:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Sara Jay has been deleted before, and it will probably be deleted again, as it fails to meet our criteria for inclusion for porn stars. If you can provide sources in the article itself, not here, and beef it up, there'll be no reason to delete the page. riana_dzasta 10:41, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• I love it, guys. I was on the basketball team at South Knox and this AFD really grabbed my heart. I'd love to support the local young people with this endeavour but sadly the site just doesn't meet website notability guidelines per WP:WEB. Delete, sorry, guys. Sarah 14:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete even if mentioned on the Colbert Report, HS websites are not notable. — MrDolomite | Talk 16:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Okay, look I'm sorry, the BNL Star and Bloomington South papers do not have webpages, and I can't find it on the other. We're ran by aspiring sports editors and we have no money or funds to be submitted to Yahoo or Google searches. It can be beefed up I just feel that things like Blue Chip Conference and Patoka Lake Athletic Conference are more significant than us? Why should North Dakota Class AA high school football be listed and not us? If you insist upon deleting us, why can our link and our big-brother site, HoosierAuthority.com, be able to keep our links on the Indiana page. HoosierAuthority is the official news source of the IHSAA. Please, I just ask for you to beleive me that it is notable in this area. And Sarah thank you for your support. We ask that you continue to support the site, even If you will not allow us to remain on Wikipedia.IndianaHighSchoolGameday 20:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Notability is not clearly demonstrated, nor self-evident, and anyway there are no supporting independent references, which means that the article automatically fails. Sorry. WMMartin 19:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
