sourced entirely to primary sources, fails WP:GNG and WP:NORG. A search for sources only turned up primary sources or unreliable sources such as databases etc. Lavalizard101 (talk) 12:28, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I found references at newspapers.com that date the high school back to at least 1924. Jacona (talk) 13:57, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sufficient sourcing exists to meet GNG. Nominator should be reminded that AfD is not about the article, but rather about the subject of the article. Your comment was inappropriate. 69.92.163.38 (talk) 16:36, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added a few sources, and there are more on newspapers.com, which I will add in the next few days. Meets WP:NSCHOOL and WP:GNG. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 23:40, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Update -- I've clipped articles through 1975, excluding the quarterly/annual honor roll listings, reports of Future Farmers of America and of Future Homemakers of America, band performances, theater performances, Boys' State attendees from Castleford, dances, and commencements. In short, there were MANY articles I have not clipped about school activities. There were two article (so far) about bomb threats, and multiple articles about the school's dress code, involving girls' skirt length (too short) and boys' haircuts (too long), that in 1975 resulted in expulsion of nine males and multiple stories in local and statewide newspapers; all nine were readmitted with their too-long hair. I'll be adding what I have found so far to the article's talk page, for any editors who want to expand the article with content that could be an ode to small-town American life. I will try to return next week to newspapers.com for stories from the last half-century. Now for some corn on the cob and strawberry shortcake with my grandkids...
