● Delete - No Reliable Sources Found. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 15:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: It would be helpful if editors could show some sources, or explain where they looked when they found none.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, asilvering (talk) 22:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I found significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources on ProQuest, and included quotes from the sources behind paywalls. I have not yet tracked down the exact time frame of the school's alternative title, McAdam Composite High School, but so far I found that name in use from the early 1950s through about 1984. At any rate, this tiny school does meet GNG. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:03, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Would be great if deletionists would make a cursory effort to find sources before nominating. There's plenty here.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 13:23, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This isn't a vote you have to actually state reasons why you believe this article meets the requirements. 1keyhole (talk) 23:06, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    "there's plenty here" is an argument. Nominating something for deletion without doing any cursory search for sources is just lazy and wasting people's time.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 23:16, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I did make an effort and I stand by submitting this article for deletion. I think an experienced administrator will review the references and agree that most of these references are trivial and some are passing mentions. 1keyhole (talk) 23:47, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This is a high school in Canada that has been around awhile. Not surprisingly there turn out to be plenty of sources.
    WP:BEFORE investigation can be hard, but not doing it thoroughly can waste a lot of time for a lot of people. Jacona (talk) 22:51, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep. It seems high schools in Canada almost always turn out to be notable because sources
    WP:GNG and therefore should be kept. Jacona (talk) 22:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep Per the recent
    WP:HEY effort. Scorpions1325 (talk) 06:59, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply
