Talk:Poolesville High School

Notable alumni
For those who are notable for creating websites, I believe the websites need to meet WP:WEB to confer notability upon their creators. It'd be good to figure out whether they do. --Alynna 05:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Matthew Heimbach
I would like to start a conversation on the notability of Matthew Heimbach. Seeing as there is significant coverage of him  , coming from a multitude of sources including respected publications as The Washington Post and the New York Times. Additionally, beyond the article initially cited regarding Heimbach attending Poolesville High School, other sources corroborate the fact he attended this school.

I hope the above is enough to begin a dialog regarding why this fails to pass WP:Notability or WP:WTAF. Regarding notability, according to one of the notability guidelines, notability is not related to article content. While I note there is no independent article about Heimbach yet (Re WTAF), that was due to a note on the talk page that his notability stems from the organization he created. While there could be a link for his name included, the fact this would just redirect to the Traditionalist Worker Party page, made that seem unnecessary.

If I'm understanding the logic of the revert correctly, as Heimbach was not notable enough to have his own standalone page, and because of WP:WTAF, the content should be removed? I disagree with that assessment, because, clearly he himself is notable, but the way he is notable is through an organization that is, in effect, inseparable from him. In that way, while he himself might not have an independent article, the information here is both relevant to content deemed significant enough for conclusion, and backed up by multiple sources.

 * Given that there is a redirect from his name to the organisation (which I was not aware of when I removed the content as it was unlinked), personally I don't think there would be a problem with including his name with the link to that redirect page.

 * Ok, I'm pretty sure I've implemented what you had mentioned, take a look and please edit if it doesn't meet stylistically what you were looking for. Bpmcneilly (talk) 16:49, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Herman
Nothing against Herman or how much he cares, but is Herman Cares ~really~ something notable about PHS? --Alynna 19:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Rivals
i had no idea that our rivals encompassed clarksburg high school and damascus high school. I'm pretty sure that our only rival is brunswick and not the newest high school in montgomery county or one of the most enrolled high schools in montgomery county —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Snakehr3 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:Poolesville High School logo.jpg
Image:Poolesville High School logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Sports
I was suprised to see underwater basketweaving listed as a sport at PHS. Having graduated there recently, I didn't even know that was a thing. I looked at the PHS sports booster, and I don't think PHS has basketweaving anymore. The most recent mention I was able to find was a youtube video from 2014. I was wondering if this should be corrected? 138.67.188.227 (talk) 22:09, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
