Nowra High School

Contested PROD. This high school doesn't assert any notability. Rjd0060 15:29, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep &mdash; Satisfies my personal H.S. notability criteria. &mdash; RJH (talk) 20:25, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WIKIPEDIA criteria (the only criteria that counts here). No claims to notibility, no sources to show what makes it notable. And before anyone says it, high schools are not automatically notable.  TJ   Spyke   22:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Like most secondary schools its notable. I found an Australian politician who taught here and I didnt search long. No refs Template removed and cat added. Next please. Victuallers 23:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. No sources on school's notability, and not much chance of finding any.  A potentially notable staff member from the 70s does not strike me as unusual or noteworthy; notability isn't inherited. CRGreathouse (t | c) 17:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable. Not all high schools are notable. Having a politician who taught there does not make it notable. The notability is for the politician. It's not enough. "The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered." Arthur 18:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep As Victualllers has shown, information can be found--probably on every high school. Thus it makes sense to keep them all.DGG (talk) 19:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Victuallers and DGG. It's become obvious that sources are available online for nearly every high school, at least in wealthier countries. Noroton 23:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, obviously. We don't delete on article quality, we tag and improve. The question is not whether the article contains enough sources but whether there are enough sources available to meet WP:N; and there are. The high school is, also, a significant institution in its community. TerriersFan 00:13, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
