Nashua-Plainfield High School

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

High school whose article has no content other than a "directory listing", with no notability asserted. WP:NOTABILITY applies to school's articles too. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 00:38, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - there are sufficient sources available to meet WP:N. We delete articles that cannot be expanded rather than those where, as here, they have yet to be added. TerriersFan (talk) 02:10, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It is an acceptable stub. Passes WP:N. Masterpiece2000   ( talk ) 02:34, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as valid high school stub. Expand rather than delete.--Sting  Buzz Me...   07:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment it's a high school, it isn't going anywhere. There's some RS coverage if anyone interested in including schools wants to use it. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 14:03, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A comment about this "RS coverage", out of the 10 returns in all the archives (as a comparison, my middle school returns 377 results, and out of those 10, only about 4 are really actually about the school itself, the rest are either not about the school at all or about someone who had attended the school.

 * My middle school was lame. I don't disagree re: notability but when was the last time a high school got deleted at AfD. It's one of those semi-inherent notability, just like school districts where if it were another topic, it might get deleted. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 16:38, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As a BTW, I think that the sources available for Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School would support it being broken out again. Since it was merged, a significant controversy has been added to its section in the district article and there is another here. Going back to Travellingcari's point, there are many categories of pages that are considered notable even if not strictly 'inherently notable' and these include: inhabited places, numbered highways, railway stations, airports, fauna and flora, peers of the realm, high court judges and many others. This approach is adopted to avoid jumping through the same hoops each time. TerriersFan (talk) 17:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
