Deletion nomination Article is a sub-stub about a school that provides NO evidence of notability, since there are NO references to any third-party sources. Jayron32|talk|contribs 00:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep: And give it a chance to expand. Google News Search brings up a few articles that appear to be about the school. Given that the article was just recreated about 30 minutes ago, I'd like to give it some time. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:12, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Per WP:OUTCOMES high schools are generally regarded as notable, so there needs to be a good reason to treat this one as non-notable. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:17, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:OUTCOMES, high schools are usually considered notable. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:37, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Per WP:V and WP:N show me an independent source that could be used to add ANY information to this article beyond basic addresses and telephone numbers and the like? I would think that concepts like verifiability and notability trump WP:OUTCOMES every day and twice on sundays. WP:OUTCOMES does not contain any sources to expand this article, does it? Because I don't see any...--Jayron32|talk|contribs 02:55, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete just checked google, 200something direct google hits, many of them either trivial mentions or non-indpendent, or very local news sources, fails WP:RS currently This is a Secret account 23:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Oregon-related deletions. —Katr67 (talk) 00:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. There is a discussion going on here about notability of schools in general. I think it would be best to keep this particular school until the outcome of that discussion is known, and then re-nominate if necessary. It is a waste of everybody's time to go over the same issues in every school-related AfD. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable in itself, due to a notable lawsuit: [1]. Not all high schools are de facto notable, such as clsoed, very small, or non-newsworthy, but this one makes the grade. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 01:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Withdraw nomination But only, and let me make this clear, ONLY because Bearian's Booties found a reliable source that gives a clear indication of notability, NOT because it is merely a school, and thus should be granted some mythic "instant notability" status. However, the source above clearly shows this school is notable. This information needs to be added to the article in question. Good catch.--Jayron32|talk|contribs 07:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
