Jersey Community High School

An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability; to avoid speedy deletion an article does not have to prove that its subject is notable, just give a reasonable indication of why it might be notable. A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on. Other article types are not eligible for deletion by this criterion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ellivyesrej (talk • contribs) 2008/06/23 03:54:26

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Well written High School article. Could use a couple secondary sources added, but i'm sure they're out there. They always are for HS's. (Also a little confused with the deletion reason. It's just the A7 policy quoted, which doesn't apply to high schools.)--Cube lurker (talk) 14:03, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep as article needs expansion and better sourcing, true, but those are not issues for an AfD. High schools are inherently notable, per precedent, and this one serves 1100 students so notability is clearly established. The deletion rationale is confusing and off-point to boot. - Dravecky (talk) 18:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up: Nominator's only three edits are the AfD nomination tag on the article, the note above, and a bit of swiftly reverted vandalism to the Jerseyville, Illinois article to add "and one of the most promiscuous high school students on record" to the biography of a living person. As such, this appears to be a single-purpose account whose sole intent is vandalism and disruption. - Dravecky (talk) 18:25, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per standing practice on American high schools. Townlake (talk) 19:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - enrollment of approximately 1,100 high school students is a claim to notability --T-rex 05:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - significant high school with sufficient sources available to meet WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 14:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is a high school and many of the high school sites here don't mention much about their importance. It will probably be created in the future so deletion makes no sense. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:03, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
