Northwood High School (Saltville, Virginia)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Stub of non-notable school. The references provided don't demonstrate notability.  Equazcion •✗/C • 14:20, 29 Jan 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep (as contester of PROD). As I noted on the talk page, Google searches (incl. news and books) indicate non-trivial WP:RS coverage for the school, especially as Worthy High. The sources are out there, they need to be secured. High schools tend to be notable and this one has its own history and the natural history of its site going for it. • Gene93k (talk) 14:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Look here for a listing of hits in google news under the search "Northwood High School". The school is the primary topic of many of the articles and references in hundreds of others. I'd say that this shows its been the subject of significant coverage by secondary sources and should be kept per WP:note and per complying with one of the primary points of the the proposed guidline of notability for schools. - Gwynand (talk) 14:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Hasn't it been decided that virtually all high schools are notable. RMHED (talk) 15:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Some editors have suggested that, but no, it hasn't been decided. The argument of all inclusion isn't a "just because" argument, but rather related to the notion that all highschools in fact meet wikipedia's threshold of notability, not that they should be the exception to the rule. I didn't strike out your vote, but it should technically be based on actual policy or reason.Gwynand (talk) 15:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

 *  Keep and Response to Note I think user:Gwynand is referring to the De Facto consensus that high school articles are legitimate articles whereas most elementary or middles are not. As a Member of the WikiProject Schools I can attest to the persuasiveness of this agreement that holds up at every AfD discussion I have ever observed, formal guideline or no. As such this article should be kept. Zidel333 (talk) 17:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - we delete we something isn't sourceable not when, as here, it has plenty of available sources that meet WP:N. TerriersFan (talk) 00:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
