text: Noteworthy / Keep - In much of the world, planning or conspiring (assuming such plans are beyond a trivial stage) to cause a major crime involving the death of others is treated as a very serious matter. Just because the planning did not come into practice does not mean that society ignores the preparatory work. If the judicial system using a public court decided to impose a significant penalty, one should deem this noteworthy to the school. Providing publicity to the planner may not be edifying, but it is preferable to keeping the information hidden away. Pmbma (talk) 21:33, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

text: I know this is off topic from the original question that I asked, but... does the article meet WP:NOTE without a mention of Cossey? Skiasaurus (skē’ ə sôr’ əs) 06:04, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. I'll bring this up later if a consensus forms against the inclusion of Cossey. One thing at a time... Skiasaurus (skē’ ə sôr’ əs) 06:05, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's okay. The answer to your question is yes. Whether it is correct or not, past consensus is that high schools are inherently notable on their own merit. Trusilver 06:14, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure I understand. Where did this consensus form? Skiasaurus (skē’ ə sôr’ əs) 04:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is going back a couple of years. Still to this date, WP:SCHOOL remains the biggest benchmark of notability for schools, as it was the closest of the different proposals to get a community support. I would have to dig back to find all the information on it, and I have forgotten where a lot of it lies. If you want it all to be given to you, best way to do it would be to AfD a high school, you will have all kinds of people popping out of the woodwork with their Keep votes.

text: (outdent) Fair enough. I didn't know WP:SCHOOL existed. Out of curiosity, Trusilver, do you have an opinion about the Cossey affair's inclusion here? We don't seem to have built any consensus on that yet. Skiasaurus (skē’ ə sôr’ əs) 14:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just keep on putting my foot in my mouth, don't I... you already expressed your opinion. Duh. Skiasaurus (skē’ ə sôr’ əs) 14:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  RfC: Is Dillon Cossey affair noteworthy 

message: Over the course of some years this had become an unencyclopedic mess--most of the article was a promotional travesty, with academic information cut and pasted from school district publications (copyright infringement), and long listings of sports' teams histories, most all of which was unsourced. Per school project guidelines I've attempted to include mention only of major championships (state and national are what's recommended) and most significant individual achievement, though even there I was a bit liberal. If students or staff wish to add to this, I'd strongly advise first reading WP:WPSCH/AG. If promotional, unsourced, trivial, or copied content is re-added, it will be removed, and the page can be protected. 99.153.143.227 (talk) 17:27, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I found out that American businessman Michael G Rubin, also attended Plymouth Whitemarsh High School. He used to go to school in the morning and then run his business in the later hours. I found out after talking to a current substitute and retired teacher who was a staff member at the time he went to school. Jared L 9999 (talk) 15:51, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
