New London High School (Pennsylvania)

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

Non-notable school that may have existed 100 years ago for a short time. The single source is a YouTube clip(!) which no longer exists.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Perhaps merge and redirect to Avon Grove High School. BD2412  T 17:51, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to New London Academy (Pennsylvania). A little digging turned up the tidbit of information that the New London High School in Chester County occupied the same building that previously housed the New London Academy, which is stubby but clearly notable. A Newspapers.com search shows passing mentions of sports teams representing the school in local contests up until 1936. My going theory is that after the unrelated New London School explosion in Texas (which was well-reported in Pennsylvania newspapers), the local authorities found it expediant to change the name of the school to something that would not evoke memories of that disaster.

 * Delete I crated this article back in 2013 when we held that any upper level secondary school we could show had existed was notable. Our inclusion standards were tightened in an RfC in 2017. So this article does not now meet our inclusion criteria. If I remember correctly the YouTube clip did show original documents, it was clearly trying to be a historically accurate presentation, just because it was on YouTube does not mean it is less than the level of verrifying things. This was done at a time when the understanding was that upper level secondary schools did not have to meet GNG at all, that we did not have to in any way demonstrated notability or secondary source coverage, and only that they existed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:18, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per Johnpacklambert since this isn't notable. I'm not sure it's worth merging considering the other article is un-referenced and it would be undue weight or whatever, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it if the article is merged instead of deleted. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:00, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
