thoughts on a high school a as i am of course well aware following my rfa csd a explicitly exempts schools do you believe that it applies to online schools specifically denver online high school i just removed the speedy deletion template though i'm not really sure it qualifies for the exception looking at their webpage just added as an el to the article it looks like they probably are real and seem at least somewhat connected to the denver public school system though they also seem to charge fees which confuses me if the are operated by the state then they probably even meet the general all high schools are automatically notable afd exemption obviously the article needs clean up but i'd rather wait and see if it should even be an article before doing so this is indeed a public school though private high schools are just as notable as public ones i don't see a mention of fees but most public schools do collect some sort of fee and almost all charge tuition to students from outside their district the article however was totally unacceptablemainly devoted to the names of the teachers i removed that but there is still much necessary rewriting the real question for an online school at this or any level would be whether it is actually a separate school or merely a programwe cannot necessarily go by the name it calls itself if a program it would best go in the article for the denver board of education my feeling is that it an actual separate school but for something like this a rd party reference will be really helpful what it clearly is not is a mere tutoring center or support facility which are almost never notable ' talk that all sounds very reasonable to me i figured erring on the side of caution removing the a was the better choice thanks for the trimming i'll go take a look and see if i can find any sort of third party sources notability of high schools hi i hope you have been well i seem to recall and have stated or mis stated as the case may be that i thought you may have said in the past that verifiable high schools are generally presumptively notable but in the event i've mis spoken as to what you said feel free to correct me i made mention of my recollections at an afd where i've not myself voted as of yet here wikipedia articles for deletion mesivta tiferes yisroel best such is the accepted compromise high schools have articles elementary schools in the absence of special notability get merged but the compromise like all informal and formal wikipedia rules has effect only as long as people here want it to have effect i think recent decisions have upheld this in general but there are always one or two people who challenge it such is probably the case here there may be other factors though which i mention them at the afd ' talk inherent notability for elementary schools which have been blue ribbon schools i am contacting you because you participated in either the afd wikipedia articles for deletion kennedy middle school cupertino california which resulted in a redirect or the deletion review wikipedia deletion review kennedy middle school cupertino california which resulted in restoration of the article because it was once a blue ribbon school i have opened a discussion at wikipedia talk notability organizations and companies us elementary schools inherent notability for blue ribbon schools as to whether the schools which have been found awarded the blue ribbon seal of approval get inherent notability or if they each have to satisfy wp org via significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources your input is welcome thanks p s should i have made this a rfc i rarely get involved in such general policy forums the way we've been doing it recently it would best be to be made an rfc but it should not be worded inherent notability but presumption of notability and personally though i care relatively little for these articles one way or anot
