Redbank Plains State High School
- Redbank Plains State High School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
fails WP:ORG lacks significant third party sources establish notability or existence as a separate article. Michellecrisp (talk) 06:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletion discussions. —Eastmain (talk) 07:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletion discussions. —Eastmain (talk) 07:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. I added some references. Even if I hadn't been able to find the references, there is a consensus that all high schools are notable. -- Eastmain (talk) 07:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Comment While I have no opinion on whether this school meets the notability criteria or not, I keep seeing this comment that consensus says all high schools are notable. It seems to me to be a bit of a circular argument: "this school should be kept because consensus says all high schools are notable", followed shortly by "since high schools are in the main kept, therefore consensus must be that they are all notable". It does not matter how many times the first argument is repeated, it does not make the second part true. Nor have I seen any general consensus about this notability other than its constant repetition. A school, high school or otherwise is notable if it meets the general notability guidelines. If that is demonstrated, then arguments about a perceived consensus are unnecessary. -- Mattinbgn\ 08:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Please read the talk page for the essay Misplaced Pages:Notability (high schools). It is very clear that high school articles are not ever deleted on the basis of notability. Thanks, Jerry delusional ¤ kangaroo 18:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Merge to Redbank_Plains,_Queensland. Even with the sources, seems to be just another unremarkable SHS. Lankiveil 11:08, 10 November 2008 (UTC).
- Keep Whilst "local in scope" there is some "verifiable information from reliable independent sources" in the article per WP:ORG. Assize (talk) 11:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- On the question of "remarkable", there are 108 hits of various types in Factiva on the school. Assize (talk) 11:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. Article passes WP:N and is WP:V. Looks a valid High school stub to me. Most High school articles are kept per WP:OUTCOMES.--Sting Buzz Me... 11:40, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - meets usual standards, plus usual precedent. WilyD 14:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
- Keep as high school article, which through a very well established precedent is a subject area that can be generally assumed to be notable. See the very short project space essay at Misplaced Pages:Notability (high schools), as well as its talk page for further explanation of this concept.

- NOTE: I reverted a non-admin closure of this AFD because the closer used his/her own opinion as the basis to speedy close the discussion, contrary to the consensus guidelines, deletion policy and WP:NAC. I am sure this was a well-intentioned closure, but I think it was not appropriate. Closer's comment provided below. Jerry delusional ¤ kangaroo 02:21, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
