M. M. Robinson High School

ordinary high school with 3 well- known alumni, but no other notability DGG 05:45, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: or to be more precise, one murder victim alumnus (so not much link between the fame and the school / education), and two redlinked "alumni" I have removed because they were probably intended to disparage their subjects (WP:BLP issues). Which leaves us with noone famous because they were at this school or with what they learned at this school, and for the moment no other claims to notability. Fram 10:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete:, fails WP:ORG, WP:V, WP:NN. No assertion of notability, no prospect of substantive improvement. RGTraynor 15:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:SCHOOL is not an accepted guideline, so there is no policy statement which says high schools are or are not inherently notable, but Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes says"Schools are frequently nominated for deletion, but consensus is frequently not reached. Most of the approximately 270 school articles nominated for deletion in the eight months January to August 2005, resulted in no consensus, with fewer than 15% actually deleted. " Pending an accepted guideline for schools, I feel the article should be kept. Most high schools will have multiple independent substantial coverage in newspapers, since they are an important part of the community and a large expense to build and operate, and often get into controversies of administration policy, beyond sports scores and graduation lists.

Comment: Great. Would you like to supply some? RGTraynor 19:44, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An addon. WP:SCHOOL not being a guideline means that school articles have to pass existing guidelines (like WP:ORG and WP:N) or they will be deleted. TJ Spyke 20:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — Acceptible, but the athletics and extra-curriculars sections should probably be culled. — RJH (talk) 22:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
