[edit] Irmo Middle School

Irmo Middle School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The article has been tagged for notability concerns since February 2007. Checking at the article, other then their Basket and Football teams being state champs, there is no real indication of notability from this school. Delete JForget 00:21, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment But their basket team created a wicker container that was used by the Governor. Mandsford 02:10, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Moderately large middle school. State championships aren't notable on the middle school level like the are on the high school level, but it does add to notability. Middle schools are generally considered pretty borderline (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes#Education) -- I think this one suffices. — xDanielx T/C 07:21, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Response I read the article further after the part about the "state basketball championship". Generally, there is no state tournament for middle schools as there is for high schools, and the claim appeared to be based on Irmo Middle being unbeaten in regular season and county tourney play. If South Carolina does have a state middle school basketball tournament, I would say: (a) Change my vote to keep and (b) South Carolina is taking basketball way too seriously.

  • Delete wicker container aside, no compelling claim of notability here. The present lay of the land seems to be that high schools are usually notable, but middle and under are not, which makes sense to me. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:35, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
