WC Quidditch ☎ ✎ 04:41, 3 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] You've not given a valid reason for deletion.  Deletion is based on the subject of the article, not the condition of the article.

I agree the article in its current state lacks sources.  However, under WP:ARTN , Article content does not determine notability.  Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article.  If the subject has not been covered outside of Wikipedia, no amount of improvement to the Wikipedia content will suddenly make the subject notable.  Conversely, if the source material exists , even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability.  I added a couple sources to the article, and also posted multiple potential sources from ProQuest at Talk:Westview Secondary School .  Based on these sources, this subject meets WP:GNG , per criteria at WP:NSCHOOL .  — Grand'mere Eugene ( talk ) 04:28, 8 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Only one of the sources might add notability to the school: "Nash Taylor placed second in a global competition".  Just because a school exists and is mentioned in multiple sources doing normal things for a school, this doesn't establish notability.  — Iadmc ♫ talk 08:10, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] No, you misunderstand WP's concept of notability.  See WP:N , which says Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity .  Notability rests on significant coverage in reliable sources.  — Grand'mere Eugene ( talk ) 10:59, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Exactly: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail.  Of the cited sources, only one does this (ApplyBoard) and I'm not convinced of its independence.  I need to join ProQuest to verify the sources on the talk page so bear with me on that — Iadmc ♫ talk 11:25, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Not able to join ProQuest as a non-academic as I'm not at a university etc :( — Iadmc ♫ talk 11:30, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Ah.  Another user pointed me to The Wikipedia Library.  Bingo I'm in.  I'll check out the subject soon — Iadmc ♫ talk 11:36, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Still no significant coverage at ProQust.  Perhaps the stabbing is notable though?

Thanks, Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no!  05:22, 10 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete : This is about all I can find [8] that's not related to regular school items (a concert, a student getting an award/scholarship)...  I don't think we have enough for notability here.  A school from the 1970s likely won't have notability as an historic building either.

Thanks, Malinaccier ( talk ) 14:02, 17 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Lacks notability in its entirety.  Maybe, because the article is Wikipedia:Too soon .  I don't know but I wonder why it's not yet covered in reliable sources from 2006 till date.  So, delete until it's ready for inclusion on Wikipedia.  Wår ( talk ) 15:08, 17 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - I have added multiple independent, reliable sources providing significant coverage of the subject.  For directions on accessing ProQuest sources via the Wikipedia Library see the top of the page at Talk:Westview Secondary School .  — Grand'mere Eugene ( talk ) 21:28, 17 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Malinaccier Please, do well to remove the Afd tag now.  Issues resolved.  Wår ( talk ) 19:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] War Term , are you requesting your AfD nomination to be withdrawn?  — Grand'mere Eugene ( talk ) 22:22, 23 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Absolutely.

Talk!  23:37, 23 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment - Users Iadmc and Oaktree b , given the changes in this article since its AfD nomination, and War Term 's request to withdraw his nomination, would you be willing to take another look and reconsider your ! vote?  Thanks.  — Grand'mere Eugene ( talk ) 18:49, 24 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] No.  It still is just about ordinary school things.  Even the stabbing isn't mentioned — Iadmc ♫ talk 19:04, 24 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep They put in a flower garden and a totem pole, but I suppose these are enough for at least GNG...  Still not super duper sources, but good enough.  Oaktree b ( talk ) 21:35, 24 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.  Please do not modify it.
