The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep (non-admin closure). The consensus below is that article subject is both inherently notable as a high school and is notable because of the reliable sources, added during the debate, that document its notability. Darkspots (talk) 00:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Southfield Christian School

Southfield Christian School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article is unsourced, does not assert notability, and fails WP:ORG. A Google search results in no reliable sources. I actually came across this article during a Google Earth search for the White House and noticed someone had placed a link to the school's WP article on top of the White House.

I thought that the schools policy made all high schools automatically notable? Rmhermen (talk) 17:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Come again? If you're referring to WP:SCHOOL, it's proposed and not policy yet. Also, WP:SCHOOL doesn't say all high schools are automatically notable. There are still notability requirements for schools. APK ^{yada yada} 17:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment yeah but high schools tend to be kept. Personally I'm seeing news coverage of people at the school and a grant mention, but no evidence the school is notable. That said, I don't think it will get deleted. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 18:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - consensus is that high schools have sufficient notability to be kept and sources are available to meet WP:N. The way forward is to develop the page not to delete it. I am about to add some content. TerriersFan (talk) 22:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep WP:SCHOOLS does not seem to yet have consensus on that page, but we do have consensus at AfD thqat all HS articles are kept a a practical matter. What we do at Wikipedia is the true Wikipedia guideline, even if we have trouble articulating it on a policy page, where one or a few individuals can prevent almost indefinitely the forming of an expressed consensus. Here it's different,--we can and we do form practical consensus. DGG (talk) 02:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Not all High Schools are notable by any means and we should not keep unnotable content for any matter, practical or otherwise. Unless notability can be demonstrated, this has no meritorious claim to retention under some vague claims of de facto practice. I disagree completely with TF that consensus admits all HS are automatically notable. Eusebeus (talk) 04:26, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep As a major institution in any community, high schools have ample reliable and verifiable sources to establish notability. This school is no exception, providing the sources needed to satisfy the Wikipedia:Notability standard. The results of AfDs for high schools have established extremely strong evidence of a clear consensus on notability of high schools. This AfD will only add to the mounting base of evidence.
