Paul VI High School

Paul VI High School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Not notable, barely any refs, seems to have been created by a student, among other things. James Luftan ^contribs 21:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Article makes clear and explicit claim of notability in the form of a 28-year winning streak in cross country meets, which just ended, fully supported with a reliable and verifiable source. This is on top of the clear consensus that such schools are notable per WP:OUTCOMES. I assume only Z-class nominators are unfaimilar with this consensus. Z-class editors are also apparently unaware that Wikipedia:deletion policy requires dur diligence by nominators to edit and improve the article, a process which seems to have been ignored, in violation of Wikipedia policy.

Comment A. I dont see anything on that document that refers to a win streak as notable. B. Please be courteous. I nominated an article and refered to a former student as "barely notable". This gives you no reason to attack me, my contributions or my intellect. Thank you. James Luftan ^contribs 22:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

• I strongly suggest reading Wikipedia:deletion policy, which seems to have been violated here, presumably out of ignorance. Future violations of this policy will not be tolerated. While even a student might have recognized a 244 meet win streak as notable, it took me seconds to find an editorial that states exactly that. As a tip, treat all content regardless of its creator in good faith without any attacks in the nomination. Individuals are notable or not notable; there seems to be no "barely notable" or "Z-class" status, other than intended as a derogatory remark. Alansohn 22:23, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I've noted the creator as a possible student because, well, isn't that COI? And you're right, I changed it, I shouldn't be derogatory toward that one alum. James Luftan ^contribs 22:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - A major school with over 1,100 students and per WP:OUTCOMES, high schools are notable and the nom has provided no reason to single this one out for deletion (being created by a student is not deletion criteria). The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Courier-Post stories about the very long cross country winning streak demonstrates further notability. --Oakshade 04:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:39, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep School doesn't seem especially notable, but does have some mention in reputable news sources. Also, high schools are generally not deleted as non-notable. See WP:OUTCOMES. Wstaffor_talk 14:42, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Seems to be notable enough, its a well written article and is better than most school articles on Wikipedia. Kevin 14:45, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
