The result was delete, consensus is not very clear on this one. However, there is a general lack of multiple, non-trivial and independent reliable sources. Hence I am closing this as a delete. — Nearly Headless Nick ^{C} 11:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Central-Hower High School

Central-Hower High School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable public high school that is now closed and on it's way to being just another building on the campus of the University of Akron. Soltak | Talk 22:53, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable school. TJ Spyke 03:09, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Important part of Akron Public School history. Needs expanded not deleted.
• Delete. No evidence of notability. WMMartin 20:12, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or merge with the school district under a "former schools" heading. Reasonably well developed article which does not go into detailing the code of conduct, the school lunch menu or the like. Regarding high schools I am not always sure about notability, but I can mention that the Bergen byleksikon, the city encyclopedia for Bergen, Norway, has reasonably extensive coverage of all schools in the city. The fact that the school is closed has no bearing on the notability; as an analogy: A notable person does not stop being notable because he dies. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Needs expansion.
• Delete. I would not necessarily delete an article for a lack of notability in the case of schools and other institutions if the articles contain some substance. I believe that the assertion of notability is far more important in articles on individuals or say, commercial institutions. My delete vote here is inherently based on the fact that this article has very little useful information, has no references, and provides no external links or evidence that it could be formed into a functioning article. This school appears that it is going to be completely non-existent. However if there is some history and information based on credible sources that can be added, and if one of the previous editors could provide such credible source of information, regardless of any notability, I could consider keeping the article.

• Keep as long as history can be provided with proper references. Sukh17 09:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or merge to school district page per Sjakkalle. Note: Some of the above comments are missing signatures. (jarbarf) 19:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral — If it is no longer in existance, I think it needs something distinctive in its history to provide notability. — RJH (talk) 22:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Wikipedia is not a newspaper, so it is irrelevant that this school is no longer around. Cloachland 03:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
