Proposed deletion of high schools

Hello, you have proposed deletion of various articles on high schools. Please consider the precedent at Wikipedia:Notability (high schools) and related pages. Blue Rasberry (talk) 02:46, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

"Until sourced content is created, the school should be merged with a redirect to an article about the school district, town, or village of the school. An unsourced article on a school, or an article on a school without enough content for a rounded article, should not have its own page." --Wikipedia:All high schools can be notable MisterCrazy8 (talk) 02:54, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Thing is, they do have sourced content. These are not new articles either, many have been around for more than a year. It would be one thing if someone had just spammed out some new articles in a short time, mass creations are much more likely to be left alone, undeveloped, otherwise not meet policy, but these are not that.

I would argue that the essay you've just linked to there is just that, an essay. And, for that matter, one that's fairly recent and based more or less on one person's opinion. There really is a pretty longstanding consensus (much more longstanding than August 2011 fwiw) that high school articles are notable as long as the school can be shown to exist - rather like the majority of settlement articles. I would suggest a focus on elementary or middle schools first. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:54, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

• We appreciate your enthusiasm MisterCrazy8, but with only around 50 edits to mainspace, you hardly have anywhere near enough experience yet to be nominating articles for deletion or tagging them for maintenance. Our policies are complex and schools enjoy some rather important exceptions. Non notable Middle and primary schools for example, are also not sent to AfD; they are redirected. Please read WP:Deletion and WP:NPP before tagging any more pages. If you need any help understanding the way we work here, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing!
