Wyoming Indian High School

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. Given source does not cover the basketball team. No evidence that the movie presented is about the basketball team of this school. No other sources present to prove existence and/or notability of the school. Night of the Big Wind talk  19:47, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - plenty of sources available and no reason why this page cannot be brought into line with WP:GNG. No evidence that the no nominator has carried out WP:BEFORE due diligence. TerriersFan (talk) 21:29, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep- PBS' website confirms the documentary is about the reservation/school/basketball team, and Seattle Times confirms 7th state title . Dru of Id (talk) 21:34, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as a high school of confirmed existence, per long standing consensus. Dru of Id's cites emphasize why it's a good thing to keep high schools automatically — they generate sports teams, public drama performances, have alumni whose biographies need linkage on WP, etc. etc. etc. Carrite (talk) 23:26, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep or keep The "news" link above returns 58 hits and every hit on the first page is a good one, including:
 * Denver Post
 * New York Times
 * Seattle Times
 * Washington Times
 * Here is part of the snippet from the 2nd hit, "Denver Post - The Wyoming Indian High School Chiefs - owners of the longest basketball winning streak in Wyoming, the guys who rack up 50-point victory margins..." Here is another ref.  The assertion that WP:GNG fails is a proof by assertion, and the argument that somebody should improve the article is not a deletion argument.

 * Snow keep. No question about notability here.  I added a couple of sources to the article.--Arxiloxos (talk) 02:13, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per my usual standards. Bearian (talk) 17:41, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice, everybody can invent his of her standards? Night of the Big Wind  talk  19:15, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
