Cockeysville Middle School (Cockeysville, Maryland)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It's a middle school with no evidence of any particular notability. The editor who is creating it says that it is notable, but nothing in his/her first 12 edits to the article suggests this. Redirecting to the school district was reverted by the creating editor. An AfD result of "Redirect" would be helpful. The school was deleted at AfD in 2007 as Articles for deletion/Cockeysville Middle School. Pam D  20:12, 2 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm still collecting info on the school. Having produced the First Lady of Maryland, a NASA astronaut, and the CollegeHumor co-founder seems notable to me. There's still A LOT more to be added.  The StormCatcher   (talk)   (contribs)  20:21, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to school district per guidelines and SCHOOLOUTCOMES., it would take a whole lot more to show notability for a middle school than having a handful of notable grads and being named as an exceptional school by the school district. Generally, there has to be some claim of notability beyond the school's existence as a school (something like being on the NRHP). Numerous inclusions on the national Blue Ribbon Schools list will sometimes do it. Having a very large (>50) number of notable grads in one field might point to having a notable program in the school, but that would have to be verified by solid reliable sources independent of the school and geographically disperse.  Example:  If there were 70 notable actors from this school and you could find newspaper or magazine articles about the drama program, some from outside the Baltimore-DC metroplex, then maybe you might have notability.  In short, there is no way this article gets kept, and I hate to see you wasting time on it. Almost all the Baltimore area high schools need reference work in their athletic sections. Hint, hint.

 * Redirect per WP:OUTCOMES. I couldn't find any coverage, must less significant coverage by any outlets outside the local area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaconaFrere (talk • contribs) 12:13, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
