• Weak keep Won the Georgia School of Excellence Award in 2001.[1]--Sethacus 17:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

• I think a school that has not won an award at some time or other would be more notable.--victor falk 17:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

• Yes, but the diference is, this is a statewide award.--Sethacus 17:34, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

• According to our own sources, there are 143 schools in Georgia. Statistically, a school will win an award every 143 years. Will Warner Robins Middle School be notable in 2144 for having won an award in 2001? If not, why is it notable now? Remember that "notability is permanent". Or else, we'd have to delete schools, in 2011, if we said that winning an award ten years ago. Winning several years in a row, on the other hand, would probably confer permanent notability.--victor falk 22:08, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

• I wonder if there is a list of such schools (Georgian schools which have not ever won the GSoE). CRGreathouse (t | c) 00:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete CSD/A7: no claim of notability. Wikipedia is not a indiscriminate collection of yellow pages entries about schools. --victor falk 17:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete We don't need an article on every school in America. Just because a thousand similar articles haven't been deleted yet is no reason to keep.--Bedivere 21:14, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. CRGreathouse (t | c) 00:13, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Non-notability in relation to category-specific guidelines can be a reason to delete, but this doesn't seem to be the issue here. It isn't clear that the topic fails the criteria found in WP:CORP, such as organizational characteristics (e. g., longevity, size) and coverage in secondary sources. The article already mentions an award. It has been suggested that the award is won frequently, but no actual evidence for this has been given. Finally, membership in a category, in this case schools, is not a basis for delete decisions. See WP:ALLORNOTHING. Valerius 02:05, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

• So you're saying it should be kept because it just might be notable. Hmm. As far as the Georgia Schools of Excellence award, it's given out to many schools each year. [2] shows that in the last two decades it was given to around 20 schools in the Atlanta area alone. It's not a big deal to win. CRGreathouse (t | c) 03:01, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
