Basehor-Linwood High School: Article and BEFORE showed no independent reliable sources with significant coverage addressing the subject directly and in-depth.  Routine local news mentions, database records, nothing that meets WP:SIGCOV from WP:IS WP:RS.  // Timothy :: talk 21:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Education , Schools ,  and Kansas .  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:40, 25 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - I need to look longer at this, but initial searches show it mentioned in 11 research papers, multiple books (although initial thoughts are these are mostly directories) and many newspaper articles (but per nom, these could be routine).  There's a lot of reading to do.  But I will just make a point now that this page was only created today.  Yes, it was not exactly created in a good state, but couldn't something have been put on the talk page in the first instance?  Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 22:37, 25 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment .  A quick look at newspapers.com finds that Basehor-Linwood High School was the result of a merger of Basehor High School and Linwood High School in approximately 1966.  Newspapers.com shows approximately 3700 results for Basehor High School, dating back to at least 1930.  It shows about 2500 for Linwood High School (limited to Kansas), also dating back to 1930.  If shows approximately 1700 articles for Basehor-Linwood High School.  It would be very surprising if these nearly 8,000 newspaper articles didn't provide sufficient coverage to establish notability.  Jacona ( talk ) According to this non-reliable source, Basehor High School has roots back to 1885 under the name Prairie Gardens, so we're talking about nearly a century and a half of history to peruse.  Jacona ( talk ) 23:47, 25 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  After wading through a small portion of the material available on newspapers.com, it is readily apparent that there is significant coverage in WP:RS which WP:NEXISTs to meet WP:GNG .  I've added a very small portion of this to the article.  There are currently 13 references.  Many more are available.  The difficulty is that there are so many references to wade through to find the ones that are useful.  In 150 years, there are probably a lot more sources offline than there are online.  These count, but they are hard to find.  Jacona ( talk ) 02:47, 26 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - Per Jacona, and WP:HEY as the article is already in much improved state and passes WP:GNG .  There is a lot to wade through, but there clearly are multiple reliable and independent secondary sources.  Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk ) 06:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - plenty of strong, non-transactional sources.  Easy meet on GNG.  Thanks to Jacona for the HEY , and I think a withdraw from TimothyBlue would be very appropriate.  4.37.252.50 ( talk ) 03:12, 27 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .
