George Westinghouse High School (Pittsburgh)[edit]

Not notable, fails WP:SCHOOL, and it shouldn't get it's own article just because it's a public school in Pittsurgh; what's stopping me from making seperate articles for each public school in my city? Also, Google refers to a whole other school located in Buffalo, New York,, even when I type "George Westinghouse High School Pittsburgh." Lastly, I added a Prod tag, but was removed with no edits to justify its removal.SuperDT 09:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep exists westinghouse high school pittsburgh&btnG=Search&hl=en&lr=&safe=off (somewhere down the page) and has an interesting structure per WP:SCHOOL M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 16:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep - the article was a stub, but a little fiddling (after some minor research) has improved the article to address the concerns of the nominator and our ex-Soviet delete voter above and beyond the basic WP:SCHOOL criteria for retention. The school has several notable alumni, which together with the school's programs and curriculum confer explicit notability. The school is almost universally referred to as "Westinghouse High School" (without the "George") which would help in Google searches. SuperDT, please contact me and I will be more than happy to help you create articles for all of the high schools in your city, as appropriate. The more people working together to create new articles and improve existing school articles, the fewer of these AfDs we will have to contend with. I'd have to see that with these improvements, the article may be almost as wikiworthy as Stunts performed in Jackass Number Two and List of Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Formats and Strategies. Please revisit the article and reconsider your votes. Alansohn 16:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Alansohn has improved the article. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 16:53, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Even though I don't think I can change my vote, since I nominated the article, I would change it to Keep. I guess I still have a lot to learn about Wikipedia... SuperDT 17:34, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep is my preference. It meets my personal criteria for High School notability. — RJH (talk) 18:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep not per WP:SCHOOL which has no consensus or such but per having many notable alumni. JoshuaZ 18:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
