Skyview High School (Thornton, Colorado)
The only assertions of notability are that school was closed (as part of a larger movement), and it was the setting for part of one episode of a TV show. The only claims of notability are very tangential. Was the subject of a previous AfD which was borderline keep. The school has since closed permanently, so I prodded but it was contested by an anon. &mdash;Dgiest c 23:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, no secondary sources are available or (that I can find) are available. Therefore fails WP:N. Seraphimblade 23:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep or perhaps merge with Thornton, Colorado. Deleting the article because the school has closed makes no sense. It is like deleting a biography because the subject has died, the subject does not become less notable because of a closure. Quite a decent source about the school can be found here. One final note, prodding an article which has previously been on AFD is not appropriate use of the WP:PROD process. Sjakkalle (Check!)  14:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I feel the subject was never notable, but an AfD on an active school tends to draw a lot of people making the dubious assertion "all schools are notable". &mdash;Dgiest c 16:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I've incorporated the source fround by Sjakkalle into the article - but must point out that it describes the change more than the school itself. I think with a bit of work though, more sources could probably be found and a decent article made out of this.  ~  ONUnicorn (Talk problem solving 15:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No obvious notability. I also feel the references are inadequate: the Horace article certainly talks about the school, but it's just discussing what happened and reporting news. The article is actually a good example of why we should take newspaper and journal articles with a pinch of salt when looking for references: there's no reason why an educationalist should care about this school more than any other...

 * Delete as not notable. &mdash; MrDolomite | Talk 16:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable content of historic interest, but would not be opposed to a possible merge to Thornton, Colorado or an article about the school district. If people wish to research what happened to this school, they should be able to do so on Wikipedia. Yamaguchi先生 07:50, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
