Largest high school gyms in the United States

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I am a firm believer of rescuing articles, but I believe that this is a biased article that was only created for Indiana schools, under the guise of United States schools. I also don't see any use for this article. This article also doesn't have any sources that would give information on any other state articles. I just can't see it working out as a page. I even considered moving it to an Indiana title, but even then it doesn't include any other states and isn't inclusive of a wide area. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 18:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. The USA Today article that is the main source here expressly states that "Indiana is home to nine of the USA's 10 largest high school gyms" -- which is a fascinating fact -- and lists the top 10. Few sources are more authoritative on high school sports than USA Today. Hence the article is reliably sourced and covers a notable topic. On a side note, it's possible that this AfD hasn't been completely formed, since there seems to be no notice of the AfD on the article page. --Arxiloxos (talk) 07:14, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Since this nom still appeared to be malformed, I've tried to fix it by adding a notice to the article and also adding this to the list at Articles for deletion/Log/2009 December 3.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:55, 7 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Needs more references to conform with WP:V, however, this topic is encyclopedic. Location (talk) 09:57, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, appears to have more than one reliable source available so someone must care about it. Polarpanda (talk) 19:18, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I have absolutely no idea how this is biased toward Indiana. It is a perfectly legitimate topic, and it just happens that Indiana has the largest gyms. Reywas92 Talk  01:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see any compelling reason to delete this article. Not crossing any neutrality. Deganveranx (talk) 01:03, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - no reason to delete but I should like to see significantly more prose to put this list in context. TerriersFan (talk) 01:20, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
