Hi Jakeable, and a belated welcome to Wikipedia! I've been the main coordinator of WP:WPSCH for several  years and I  just  wanted to  stop  by  and thank your for your recent  work  on  school articles. If you haven't  done so  already, do  read through  the entire project, especially WP:WPSCH/AG, and what  we usually  do  with  elementary  and middle schools that  are not  notable. If you need any  help  with  anything, don't  hesitate to  post  a message at  WT:WPSCH  or ask  me directly  on  my  talk  page. Happy editing! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:39, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome!
Hi, Jakeable! Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your work on schools. I would encourage you, as did Kudpung กุดผึ้ง above, to stop by the school project and take a look around, and possibly consider joining. I am writing to you now specifically about you nomination for deletion of Divernon High School. Predictably, it was closed as a keep. One of the core pillars of Wikipedia is that it besides being an encyclopedia, it is also a gazetteer. Pursuant to that, things that are considered "features on the landscape", such as roads (withing some limitations. See U.S.Road project), geographic features, settlements (towns, villages, cities, ghost towns) and schools (but only high schools) are considered to be automatically notable. All you have to do is prove that they exist or existed to show notability. For high schools, the existence of a website for the school is considered sufficient. Thanks again for all your help on schools. It is an area of Wikipedia that requires a lot of vigilance, due to students at the schools vandalizing or inserting unencyclopedic content.
