Fails WP:GNG. Mainly listings available, no in-depth sources The Banner  talk 11:52, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Education, Schools,  and Idaho. Shellwood (talk) 12:10, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - there seems to be enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. There's this and this, which not only have coverage in print, but also on television. And that was just on the first page of the google search (which admittedly is difficult, since there are several schools with this name, e.g. in TN and FL).  Also, on Newspapers.com, there's quite a bit of coverage, like, this, this half-page piece, this, this, this, this, plus a plethora more in-depth coverage of their sports teams.

 * It is the article that has to prove notability, not AfD. The Banner  talk 20:02, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Many of those sources seem to be within the last few years and I think some wider ranging WP:SIGCOV would help here. I'll take a look too and see what I can find, but just sources from 2018 onwards may not cut it (the school was seemingly founded over 20 years before 2018). The nominator's response above is also baffling and questions understanding of afd. Bungle (talk • contribs) 20:28, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I have too often seen remarks like "article can be improved by normal editing", followed by absolutely no action at all. So by now I am sceptic about promises to improve. The Banner  talk 22:37, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Then improve the articles yourself] instead of trying to foist the job off on others. [[WP:NEXIST is a guideline describing policy: the current state of the article is not the reason an article fails WP:N. If the sources exist it is notable even if they aren’t yet in the article.

 * I appreciate your offer to improve the article, Jacona. The Banner  talk 09:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep. Enough sourcing to meet WP:GNG as with any American secondary school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:22, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment, maybe either restructure and recreate as list, or rename to region specific title. I have searched newspapers for this and something which strikes me is that there are a fair few schools by this name across various states (California, Tennessee, Idaho, Indiana etc) yet just one of them in a single state seems to have an article, at the primary article title. I don't think we can reasonably say this particular school in Idaho is more notable than the others, yet collectively there may be a notability case. Perhaps this article should be a list of the various schools by this name, maybe with brief info about some, as there are sources to be found on many yet I can't say there is one that is more notable over the others.

 * Keep. The sources provided by  Onel 5969  are sufficient significant coverage over a WP:SUSTAINED period of time to satisfy the general notability guideline. I placed a few in the article.Jacona (talk) 12:25, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
