The result was   keep. While no, they're not neatly organized, there's enough sources here now to keep the article provided it gets a little work done on it, which seems to be underway. Needing cleanup isn't a reason to delete. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 00:02, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Blountville Middle School

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not notable. Local U.S. middle school. Article cites no sources (other than the school website) and does not identify any attribute of the school that is out of the ordinary. Main contributor has been given ample opportunity to correct the situation. Orlady (talk) 16:27, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Came across this in my watchlist. Though lacking sources, I think the creator's thought was that the condemnation of a working school made it notable. I was interested in the section about the school's building problem, yet there were some tense problems switching from section to section. Grk1011 (talk) 20:15, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a page thats been around for almost 2 years, and it does have accurate info. But I agree, it needs some cleanup. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Setnick (talk • contribs) 02:45, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, the article has been here for almost 2 years, and it has been tagged as needing references for almost 1 year (since September 2007), but none have been provided. It does not conform with WP:Verifiability. The deletion nomination is based on the WP:Notability guideline; also see the proposed guideline WP:SCHOOL. I know from other communications that you attended this middle school and that makes it notable in your eyes, but you need to provide evidence that it is notable according to Wikipedia standards. Similar issues apply to the other school-related articles that you have created and edited. --Orlady (talk) 20:18, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Note that WP:SCHOOL is a failed guideline, so it's not really a useful reference at this point.&mdash;RJH (talk) 17:20, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - not notable. Karanacs (talk) 01:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: There really isn't anything to base the notability off of since there is no guideline. Grk1011 (talk) 02:27, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Plenty of guidelines: WP:ORG, WP:V, WP:N. CRGreathouse (t | c) 17:30, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * there are references on this article now — Preceding unsigned comment added by Setnick (talk • contribs)
 * Comment: Setnick, listing a bunch of URLs at the bottom of the article under the title "references" is not the same thing as providing reference citations to support the information in the article. This is much like writing a term paper -- the statements that you make in the article need to be supported by sources. See WP:Verifiability and WP:Citing sources for the policy and guidelines on doing this properly. For examples of articles where sources are cited, look at Alvin C. York Institute, Tennessee and Longhunter. --Orlady (talk) 14:55, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. I was hoping he would put them inline. I'll do it if i get a chance. Grk1011 (talk) 15:29, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - the references need to go inline but that is an editorial matter. However, the multiple non-trivial references clearly meet WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 16:41, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
