Redbank Plains State High School

fails WP:ORG lacks significant third party sources establish notability or existence as a separate article. Michellecrisp (talk) 06:04, 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)
