Huffines Middle School

no legitimate sourced claim to notability, was included in earlier afd for another middle school in same district- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arbor Creek Middle School, but overlooked at time of deletion Chris 04:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: fails WP:ATT. I wouldn't say it doesn't make any legitimate claims to notability -- it makes several, in fact -- but nothing is sourced. If it is, my opinion may change, but it'll take some doing, given that I feel middle schools to be inherently non-notable. RGTraynor 04:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Lewisville Independent School District. -- zzuuzz^(talk) 14:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - I do feel it is notable enough but there doesnt seem to be enough sources to support it.--Joebengo 18:06, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawn: Merge per zzuuzz. Even though I've been involved in these debates before, I think only high schools (or similarly-situated "top level" schools) are notable enough for inclusion (since a high school generally is a focal point of a community, especially in smaller towns). Middle and elementary school information should generally be included in the article for the district that operates it. Wyv 00:54, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Addition: If the consensus is Merge, I volunteer to merge the notable information into the LISD article and establish the redirect. I have saved a copy of the article locally so I can incorporate the info.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wyv (talk • contribs) 00:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Keep as the article is much better, includes a good quantity of information and, frankly, if one school is notable, then they all should be (after much consideration, in my opinion). Wyv 04:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable institution. Piccadilly 11:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment based on what logic? It doesn't even say what national award it may be. Chris 21:44, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. At first glance it looked like a notable article, but upon further inspection has a couple unsourced quotes and basically violates WP:V and WP:OR. If the unsourced stuff (which isn't notable to begin with) is cut out almost nothing remains, better to just delete this one.--Wizardman 04:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I have now sourced what is a significant national award. Anyone reading about this award would expect to be able to find an article on the school in WP. I have also added a local award. TerriersFan 22:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment if the award were significant it would have its own article or have a section at Channel One News. Chris 02:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - a neat argument but there is still much that is notable in the world that is not in Wikipedia, perhaps why about 2,300 articles are being created a day, and absence from WP is no denial of notability :-) TerriersFan 03:43, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

STRONG KEEP all schools are notable. WP:ATT is a proposed guideline, not a policy, and seems not to apply to this discussion in any meaningful way. Jerry 22:12, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment "all schools are notable" seems not to apply to this discussion in any meaningful way. What rot. Chris 03:32, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep since we have an article about just about every other school.--Sefringle 22:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment We have articles on high schools, and verifiably notable lesser schools. Chris 03:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as rewritten, current version of the article meets WP:SCHOOLS and demonstrates notability. RFerreira 01:47, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per RFerreira, et al. --Myles Long 01:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
