Lake City student walkout

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Local high school student walkout. Not really notable. Does not appear to have gained any traction outside a small area. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:35, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

 * I disagree. I live in the wonderful state of Iowa and the Coeur d'Alene levy and the issues that surround it are of utmost importance to me. Please don't delete my favorite article on this whole website. Sadalmond5 (talk) 15:58, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You've made two edits on Wikipedia (this is one of them) band a three day old article is your favourite? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:38, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The fact that a group of high school students organized and participated in a walkout is itself notable. Young people taking political action and using their voices to advocate for change is a powerful and important demonstration of civic engagement. Even if the walkout only takes place in one local area, it can still have a significant impact on the students who participate and the community they belong to. Imagine how many Wikipedia articles are solely only important to those who live in a certain community, by your standard we should delete them all... LueDash (talk) 16:01, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That's correct. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It has articles for major events with long-lasting consequences over a wide area. Events that are only important to a single community are not notable and articles about them should be deleted. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 16:31, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes articles about events that have little to no impact outside a small area should be deleted. For example COVID had a huge impact on almost every school worldwide but we don't have articles called the "Effects of COVID-19 on Lake City High School" or the "Effects of COVID-19 on Kiilinik High School".

 * My high school has done 2 high-participation walkouts this year (one about gun violence, 100+; and one about budget cuts, several dozen). Both got noticed by the local newspapers. Neither are notable. BhamBoi (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. Just a news story, fails WP:EVENTCRIT. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 16:26, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * With the proposal to merge, I reiterate my delete. Even in the scope of the high school, more than a sentence or two would be WP:UNDUE. This is one thing that some students did in the school's ~30 year history. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 19:37, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. No indication of notability outside of a small local audience. TJRC (talk) 16:43, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. No notability, just a local event. Wikipedia is not a local news outlet. The-J-Verse (talk) 17:11, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Lake City High School. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 17:50, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Lake City High School per Eastmain. CastJared (talk) 17:52, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Selective Merge to Lake City High School. No need for a full merge as it would put WP:UNDUE weight on this event in the Lake City High School article. Only a brief summary of the events is needed. As an independent article this clearly fails WP:NEVENT. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 18:11, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I’ll subject to a Merge with Lake City High School (Idaho). Notable to the school involved. LueDash (talk) 18:29, 8 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge is fine. Student levies aren't ground-breaking civil rights issues, there likely won't be any long-term consequences from this event. This isn't Rosa Parks and the bus. Oaktree b (talk) 18:32, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
