The result was no consensus. This secondary school deletion discussion has reached no more consensus than any of the others of this sort that I've closed. There is a fundamental disagreement regarding this particular topic which the community in general does not seem close to resolving. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 13:52, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Latta High School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be a non-notable school. Was unable to find any reliable sources to establish notability. 23:56, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Keep: The article needs work, but I also think we can benefit from having this reference of an official public diploma granting institution. Finnishela (talk) 14:58, 10 October 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - the community has long held that diploma granting schools that can be verified to exist are notable. The source to verify that is already on the article and there are several more available at the search tabs above. John from Idegon (talk) 11:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
 * , per WP:NHSCHOOL high schools still have to meet WP:ORG or WP:GNG. And you do realize that the argument "keep because we always keep these." is circular and called out in arguments to avoid here?   13:06, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Policy or guidelines do not decide content (with a very few mainly law based exceptions). Consensus does. Outcomes is a good indicator of community consensus. And this will be no different. Simply put, there will never be a time when a US (or Canadian or Australian or British) public diploma granting institution will be deleted. And it is because there is a plethora of public documentation filed on them that is easily accessible. Hence meeting GNG. A good analogy is how we treat broadcast radio stations.

 * can you please point out some of these independent reliable sources with significant coverage because the nominator explicitly says that they weren't able to find them? WP:MUSTBESOURCES. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 11:05, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete we need sources showing more than just that the institution exists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:02, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete no WP:GNG sources have been presented despite request. Delete per WP:NHSCHOOL. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 13:48, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - per and long established practice. 	It exists and educates to Grades 9–12.   should be made aware of the inadequacies of the article and asked to improve it per WP:WPSCH/AG. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:13, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Kudpung.
 * Unrelatedly, it sure would be absurd and silly and stupid for Wikipedia to choose to shoot itself in the foot by making any policy or guideline or whatever outlawing secondary school articles, which are obviously good gateway topics for readers and would-be editors, besides being of social importance, and so on. Please tell me Wikipedia wouldn't do anything absurd and silly and stupid like that. --Doncram (talk) 01:07, 16 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep there are sources via the state education department for the demographics and class sizes for the school. It does get frequent mentions in The Ada News local newspaper and NewsOK, allthough mostly for sports, but sometimes academics.  AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 00:27, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete or create a section/article for the district and redirect there. Let's see those sources. Otherwise, there is no basis in references for keeping this article.  czar  19:55, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
