The result was keep, though, if nothing further can be found to expand this beyond a stub, then eventual merging isn't out of the question. But you don't need AfD to hash that out. — TKD::Talk 11:10, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

uncontested prod, but deletion of high school articles is controversial so I'll bring it here. IMHO, there is no assertion of notability in this article and so it should be deleted. Carlossuarez46 01:18, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete: I browsed the school website and couldn't find anything that made it notable. That being said, I never went to this school, so I wouldn't if they have some special magnet program or partnership with some academic or technology firm. Based only on the very little that has been written, I have to make a motion for deletion unless some substantial improvement is made to this article. It simply isn't notable enough. -- VegitaU 03:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and redirect to Council Grove, Kansas since that is where this article actually belongs. Burntsauce 17:13, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changed to keep, I do not believe that all high schools are notable (most should be merged) but this particular high school now fairly demonstrates notability with the sources provided. Burntsauce 17:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I think we've established that high schools are pretty much automatically notable, haven't we? Realkyhick 18:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep or merge into town article. (Criteria.) — RJH (talk) 19:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Notability is obvious from the title alone. Hawkestone 19:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, but even my Mensan brain is missing something here: I think there are only a small percentage of articles that can survive on that reason alone. They would be something like President of the US, Queen of England, etc. Based on titles alone, assuming the text is actually about the title and is not some nonsense, how in the world do you justify keeping it simply based on it's title?

Perhaps your Mensan brain could add four tildes to the end of your comments. It's easy: hit the shift button, then the button on the far upper left-hand corner of your keyboard. Four times. Noroton 00:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, I can't find any additional source material on this. (And nothing is kept based on the title alone, and nothing is automatic. It's sufficiently independently sourceable or not, this appears to be "not"). No objections to merge/redirect to a suitable parent article.

• Keep, not that the contributions of mere editors matter, because some closing admin will simply come along to impose that admin's opinion, although all high schools are inherently notable as I argue here. Noroton 12:38, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reasonable admins and reasonable editors may differ on that point, so rather than randomness injected by whether someone notices a prod within 5 days and one gets a sympathetic (to deletion) admin on day 5, it ought be brought here, IMHO, and that I have done.

• Keep - notability established by multiple, non-trivial references and several state athletics championships. TerriersFan 23:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep this notable school. -- DS1953 ^talk 22:34, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep Article makes claims of notability supported by reliable sources. Article would benefit greatly from additional expansion and sourcing. Alansohn 23:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
