George Whittell High School

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NORG / WP:NSCHOOL. Sources in article and WP:BEFORE are not WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and in depth. Article is mainly unsourced WP:OR and is inappropriate to merge.  // Timothy ::  talk  10:21, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. The article from Tahoe Daily Tribune currently cited in the page, about the school winning the College Board AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award, certainly qualifies as WP:RS and it provides detailed and in-depth coverage of the subject. There is lots of of the coverage of the school in the same newspaper, as GNews searching shows. One can argue that one needs other sources, but they do exist as well, e.g. ,,, , for example. There was also a Master's thesis at SUNY Oneonta in 2005 about the school , which I think counts for something. Overall there seems to be enough here to pass WP:GNG.

 * Keep. Meets notability guidelines. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:01, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete All the sources seem to be trivial local coverage of things that don't pass either WP:GNG or WP:NORG. For instance trivial stuff about their booster club or them closing down temporarily due to the bad air quality from fires in the area. Both of which are pretty WP:MILL. The master thesis doesn't work for notability either, because it's not a peer reviewed journal or anything else that would provide editorial oversight. Plus, it only mentions the school in extreme passing anyway. Ultimately, nothing here qualifies as in-depth or notable, and at the end of the day this is a pretty average (or below average) school that is going about it's day to day business. like almost every other school out there. Wikipedia isn't a directory and that's literally all this is. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:00, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep The nomination does not seem to have followed WP:BEFORE, searched for sources per WP:NEXIST or considered sensible alternatives to deletion. The places is covered in sources such as the Nevada Education Bulletin and The College Board Guide to High Schools and so just needs development and expansion per WP:IMPERFECT.

 * You know both those are primary sources right? --Adamant1 (talk) 06:53, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Those sources are "one step removed" from the institution and so are secondary. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:07, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Nevada Education Bulletin is by the Nevada department of Education. In no way is that one step removed. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:11, 10 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep. Easily meets WP:GNG. Nominator could have done a quick google search and found a number of RS establishing notability. The article should be improved, not deleted. Elms super 05:29, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If you don't mind me asking, which sources make it "easily" meet WP:GNG? --Adamant1 (talk) 04:52, 12 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Surprised this was nominated. A simple Newspapers.com search shows this school clearly meets WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  T · C  22:39, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
