AfD nomination of Hidden Valley High School (Grants Pass, Oregon)
[edit]I have nominated Hidden Valley High School (Grants Pass, Oregon), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hidden Valley High School (Grants Pass, Oregon). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

A couple of points that you could help with, please:
- When was it opened - I can't find a web source so do you have a local source - year book, school newsletter etc that we could cite?
- Some sources say there are grades 8-12 and others 9-12. Do you know which is right? Has there been a change?
Thanks. TerriersFan (talk) 22:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hello. Regarding the Hidden Valley High School, I do not live in the area presently, but will try to obtain the info. The school is aptly named, being somewhat isolated from the local village.
- Also, the discussion on schools having or not having merit as Wiki sites was interesting.[1] I would hope a young person (budding English major) from the school would contribute. I am trying to be careful with additions, inclusions until I have caught on to more of the protocols for editing. Finchbook01 (talk) 00:20, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- You might find WP:SCL interesting. If you are able to dig out the info and don't feel confident about adding it just message me and I'll sort it. If you want any help let me know; as you will have guessed I specialise in developing school articles so that they meet WP policies to enable them to survive deletion attempts.

I commit to obtaining more information (possible delay). Will phone a few folks. Finchbook01 (talk) 00:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
