[edit] La Vergne High School

La Vergne High School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I removed a CSD tag, and the action was questioned by a fellow editor, I have therefore brought the article here for consensus. Keilana 02:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - originally added the CSD tag due to no notability being established and no real sources provided. Seemed to fit CSD A7 well, but this works too :) -- Huntster T • @ • C 02:08, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Did you look for sources? AnteaterZot (talk) 02:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - The article has serious problems, but that's a reflection of its having been created by an inexperienced but enthusiastic user (who created similar articles for several other high schools in the area). The main effect of deleting the article will be to discourage its creator; surely a better (and reliably sourced) article can be written for this school (and the other schools that have articles contributed by the same newbie). I found a lot of good info about this school in the school's School Improvement Plan (mandated by No Child Left Behind), and I haven't yet looked for independent sources. --Orlady (talk) 02:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I did. See this google search and for goodness sake, don't count the Ghits. Open a few and look at them. There are many extensive and reliable sources that discuss this school. a choice few are: this pdf and this site and this one and this one and this one and this one and this one. There are dozens and dozens more like these. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 02:35, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - High/secondary schools are notable and there are sources in it. This is another case of WP:OSTRICH. Please do research before attempting to speedy delete an article. --Oakshade (talk) 02:57, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Above and beyond the precedent for consensus on high school notability, this article provides adequate reliable and verifiable sources to satisfy the Wikipedia:Notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 07:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Alansohn. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 09:30, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. —Camaron1 | Chris (talk) 12:54, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Like most high schools, this one appears to be notable. The article contains appropriate sourcing and passes WP:N. Camaron1 | Chris (talk) 13:06, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep High schools are notable enough. STORMTRACKER 94 13:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I am the newbie that created the article. I created it at the behest of the Tennessee WikiProject. That being said I think this school is notable in that it's Marching Band is ranked 8th in the nation. (I don't have a reliable source for this because the United States Scholastic Band Association doesn't have a decent website.) Since I am a graduate of this school I didn't feel it would be ethical to laud the school. As I understand the premise behind wikipedia, every article is subject to peer review and that has happened.

  • Keep per WP:HEY. Great job! Bearian (talk) 01:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep all high schoools are inherantly notable. None should ever be deleted for notability, regardless of the quality or sourcing of the article ATM. JERRY talk contribs 01:56, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Good research = multiple secondary sources = WP:N compliance = keep. Wonder why the CSD nominator couldn't have done this? TerriersFan (talk) 04:31, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep there isn't much more to add here, its unanimous that this should have never been placed on a CSD. (jarbarf) (talk) 05:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
