El Rancho High School

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Not a notable place. Biased. Malan89 16:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep &mdash; Notable. Some cleanup performed. &mdash; RJH (talk) 17:34, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep based on consensus that High Schools are notable Corpx 17:37, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with User:RJHall's beliefs that high schools are generally notable. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 18:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and do a major cleanup. I'm almost inclined to say delete and start over, but I'm not sure that's really necessary. I dissent with RJHall's suggestion that the school notability is policy, but consensus around these parts is that high schools are indeed notable. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 19:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete while the article asserts notability, it is not verified in reliable, independent publications. Thus, it patently fails WP:Notability. VanTucky  (talk) 21:39, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep High schools are notable. No justification has been given for treating this one differently. Æthelwold 23:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Significant history and sports section although as others mentionned this article needs some cleanup.--JForget 00:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Comments that claim all high schools are notable should be ignored, because clearly not everyone agrees, and they won't make it consensus by repeating it, unless they give a reason based on policy. It is arbitrary statements like that which prevent rational approaches to articles. In this particular case the school seems clearly notable, because of the athletic accomplishment.It should be sourced, but the requirement is only sourcable, & its clearly sourcable. DGG (talk) 02:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep As modified, this article provides ample reliable and verifiable sources to demonstrate notability per the Notability standard. As with almost all high schools, there are many more sources available to add to this article, and all are invited to chip in on further improving this and other school articles.

 * Delete - non-notable school. Eusebeus 21:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I disagree strongly with VanTucky, not even what it claims is notable.
