Rushville Consolidated High School[edit]

The result was SPEEDY KEEP due to more information being added to the page. Final vote tally was 10/1/0 Thanks to everyone who participated. Dustihowe Talk 18:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is simply no information in this article, this article is unimportant to Wikipedia. I thought maybe it would be useful when I created the article, but now it looks like we should just delete this article. Dustihowe Talk 18:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - You are the only user that has made substantial edits to the article. Unless anyone makes substantial changes to the page, you can request speedy deletion by adding {{db-author}}. Camaron1 | Chris (talk) 19:08, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy deletion seems to be being contested, and high school article deletion is controversial so I suggest you let the AFD continue. I do however disagree with the reason given for removal of the speedy tag added, as adding templates is not making substantial contributions to the page, and been put at AFD earlier by the author does not disqualify an article from this criteria.

Keep High Schools are given a pass for notability, while middle/primary are not. It is SOP to allow all high schools. Pharmboy (talk) 19:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Where have we determined that high schools are given a pass for notability? Nothing here to establish notability per WP:N other than the assumption that secondary educational facilities are inherently notable, which is a contentious issue. Eusebeus (talk) 20:21, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- How about in the official policy where it says "High schools/secondary schools (all jurisdictions) are considered inherently notable.". This should be a SPEEDY KEEP, purely out of policy. Pharmboy (talk) 23:21, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment: It's not a policy and it's not even a guideline yet. It is one of two proposals under discussion for a guideline. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep seeing that over 1,000 are currently in attendance I find it rather humorous that someone finds this not passing some imaginary line for notability. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 21:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Some quick research indicates that this school used to be known simply as Rushville High School. I just thought I should leave a note for anyone who wants to look into this place. I'm poking around on Newsbank at the moment. Zagalejo^^^ 21:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added a little bit of info. The school was associated with a high-profile court case regarding random student drug tests. Zagalejo^^^ 21:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:SCHOOL where we have indeed determined that high schools are given a pass for notability -- Masterzora (talk) 21:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Not really. The notability guideline proposal is only under discussion, there are at least two options under discussion of which only one suggests all high schools are notable, and there's a good chance neither option will pass. Schools fall under the same WP:NPOV, V and OR inclusion policies that all articles do. DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Improvements are been made, so speedy deletion per original author request cannot apply any more. Article now contains some independent and reliable resources, and a search also suggests more can be added, combined I think this article can/does pass WP:N. Camaron1 | Chris (talk) 21:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Secondary schools tend to be notable, and this one's policy of random drug testing and the related Todd v. Rush County court case generated plenty of coverage.[1] [2] • Gene93k (talk) 22:01, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Above and beyond the strong consensus of notability for high schools established over hundreds of AfDs demonstrating a clear consensus for retention, the reliable and verifiable sources provided here -- particularly those related to setting standards on school drug testing policies -- satisfy the Wikipedia:Notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 22:55, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sources have been added to establish notability more clearly. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in light of recent sources discovered, the subject is evidently notable. RFerreira (talk) 05:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Now that there is more info on this school, I would like the article to be kept. Dustihowe Talk 18:08, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
