K-12 school, Single source in article is to a government database report, BEFORE showed no SIGCOV with direct and indepth coverage (mill coverage of sports scores in local paper). Article does not meet GNG or ORGCRIT. No school district article exists. No objection to a redirect to town article if there is a consensus. // Timothy :: talk 09:14, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete nothing even close to the level of sources we need to have an article. There is just not coverage out there to justify having articles on every school in the world that instructs at the level that in the US is considered high school.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:37, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - BEFORE doesn't mean "type the current school name in Google. If nothing good comes up, delete." This is a rural area, but there are newspapers there, and to think that no coverage exists on a school that once burnt down, and has been rebuilt twice since then, has won two state athletic championships and had a staff member win a statewide honor is, well, ludicrous. The scope of sources doesn't end at the end of Google. There are hundreds of smaller papers that have not been digitized at all. Wikipedia's scope doesn't end at encyclopedia, either. We are also a gazetteer and an almanac. This should be kept, but even if there were no chance of a viable article here, the title should be redirected, not deleted. 174.254.192.241 (talk) 18:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
