Deletion of Sterling Heights High School

Comment: nbsp; As per the school web site, the school is "Ranked #1 High School in Macomb County by U.S.NEWS & World Report".&nbsp; With WP:BEFORE D1 for Google news I found: "The Battle of the Bands winner in 2016 America's Thanksgiving Day Parade is ...Congratulations to the Marching Stallions from Sterling Heights High School, By Dustin Block, Posted: 3:30 PM, November 28, 2016 Updated: 10:42 AM, November 29, 2016, https://www.clickondetroit.com/parade/2016-americas-thanksgiving-day-parade-the-battle-of-the-bands-winner-is- .&nbsp; See America's Thanksgiving Parade which shows that the parade has some national coverage.&nbsp; Also, the school's band performances are recorded on the web.&nbsp; There is also news about terrorism at the school.&nbsp; People in the central U.S. know that public high schools attract attention for every football and basketball game that they play.&nbsp; Newspapers mention the school without explanation, which means they consider the school to be an object of familiarity.&nbsp; This list of issues to be found in Google books goes on.&nbsp; Further, the nominator does not make any attempt to defend the alleged absence of notability as worthy of policy-based deletion that overcomes eletion policy#Alternatives to deletion, and at another AfD the nominator documents that his vision is to merge the article to the school district.&nbsp; I am not making a !vote now because WP:V and WP:BLP are core content policies, and there appear to be issues that need resolution.&nbsp

Comment: This is why  is helpful – not because it is an argument one way or another, but that it is a strong indicator to consider alternatives rather than bringing a high school to AfD. This school certainly passes . WP is broad enough to include most high schools, which as a matter of course gather notability as high school history and activities are usually well-documented. Time and effort is better spent improving articles when there is clearly plenty of source material (I wouldn't be surprised if there is an entire book). What's likely to happen here? The outcome here will probably be a "keep," the second most likely outcome is "merge," and there is no third likely outcome, so why not either improve the article or  rather than launching a long discussion
