Bethany High

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested prod. Article is about a school with no demonstrated significant coverage in reliable sources and none found. TN X Man 15:42, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * There's a longstanding consensus that high schools are notable.— S Marshall T/C 17:27, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep All high schools are considered notable. Coverage such as this article verifies the school's existence. Cunard (talk) 10:13, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Cunard. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 20:35, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I think it was worth noting this comment from WP:NHS, which covers situations like this: "As with other types of articles, we do not delete an article because editors have not yet cited their sources, but only if there is no evidence that independent, reliable sources exist. In the isolated instances where such schools have been deleted at WP:AfD, editors were unable to independently verify more than the school's existence, and sometimes not even that much." As I stated, I cannot find any reliable sources for this school. TN X Man  20:48, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Not only per long standing consensus that all secondary schools are considered notable (there's no sign consensus has changed), this has had plenty of independent secondary coverage. --Oakshade (talk) 03:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Oakshade's rational is perfectly correct, and nothing has hanged. See:WP:WPSCHOOLS. Normally however, in other cases, sources whether reliable or not do not confer notability, they just confirm it. Kudpung (talk) 06:19, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
