Non-notable ROTM school, of which the article makes no claim of importance of noteworthiness. A search finds a few 'hyper-local' news sources with some coverage of the opening (one-off event of interest to the local populace only), and routine mentions of things like football matches, but no wider sigcov; hence fails WP:GNG / WP:ORG. I know WP:WPSCH/AG claims that high schools are "almost always found to be notable" — I'm arguing this is one clear exception. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:52, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. WP:BITE. The article is two days old. It comes with three references, which give significant coverage, two of which are clearly independent. That's WP:GNG even before other editors have opportunity to assist. It is non-profit so WP:ORG does not apply. You are right to quote "almost always found to be notable". It is a new build, it has one year group- it is not our job her to predict what our reader will find of interest. If you wish to improve the article- details of the architecture, details of why there was a need for extra capacity, details of the intake, including racial profile, some details of the context of education systems within the state. There is yet no details of the finances capital and yearly budget. Eventually the list of proposed programmes will need to be edited or selectively culled. We do not retain editors by jumping in so fast and erroneously. Finally there is an empty Talk Page where you can share your experience. ClemRutter (talk) 08:33, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • With respect, BITE and this article being two days old have nothing to do with each other, AFAICS. Moreover, I did a BEFORE search, and found nothing of substance, which suggests that even when this article is two weeks or months old, the subject will remain non-notable. And if it does later become notable, an article can be created later; it isn't our job to anticipate possible future notability. Regards, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:47, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Easily enough sourcing to pass WP:GNG, as with any other secondary school in the western world. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:58, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The News & Observer (the newspaper of record in the Raleigh area) should have plenty of sources, and for high school-related articles "hyper-level" is 100% OK for notability and sourcing. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:22, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
