Centaurus High School
I saw at AFD that Centaurus High School got deleted. I did not participate in the discussion because I could not find very many sources on Newspapers.com. Do you know of any sources that could allow us to bring it back? Scorpions13256 (talk) 23:15, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, Scorpions13256, you know I like a good challenge.
- First I checked the resources available through the Wikipedia Library Platform, which has sources on many topics internationally. Using the search term "Centaurus High School" produced 510 hits, but I soon discovered there is another Centaurus High School in Namibia! So I'll slog through those possibilities when I have time, but searching through the first 50 or so, I've only found passing mentions in articles about individual students or teachers from Centaurus, a terrible auto accident that killed 2 students, a coach under suspicion of some sort, suspended--nothing so far helpful for notability.
- There are are a few sites available by searching Google images (which are published in articles about Centaurus):
- Athletics championship:
- Centaurus Interview, COLORADO STATE CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS
- I think there are enough sources to start a draft. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 04:13, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Scorpions13256, It was a soft delete, so I requested undeletion. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 15:38, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Scorpions13256,
- Thanks for identifying this school article for resurrection. It's now in reasonable shape! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:45, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

| Your substantial edits to Howard High School (Macon, Georgia) have been a key part of showing notability in the AfD for the article and I just wanted to let you know that your efforts to improve the article are appreciated. - Aoidh (talk) 08:41, 11 November 2022 (UTC) |
IP Concern
Do you have any fucking idea what that IP is talking about? First they stated the removal was because it was Promo, even though it was a direct quote from the administrator of the school, and as far as I know of, that is not against Wikipedia at all. They then stated that the quote is "misatributated" (misattributed). Furthermore, I do not believe that you are in the wrong at all, as you are a very, very experienced editor. If you would, I would like to hear your comments on this as I am unsure of the complete situation. Best, Zeke (talk) 02:57, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- No, I'm not sure why the IP deleted it in the first place, nor why the insistence it was misattributed to the school's head. In fact, it was not attributed in the newspaper article, so therefore in the reporter's voice. Very odd... — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 03:03, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- I believe that the IP is misunderstanding the difference between opinion and fact. Even if the person was claiming this is unreliable, per WP:BRD, this would be proven invalid as the information quoted is valid facts on the school he runs, not opinions about the school he runs. Furthermore, if you have some way to back up the text quoted, maybe the schools website possibly, that would be great. Best, Zeke (talk) 03:09, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- I'll look for other sources to back up the quote, but so far sources have been very scarce and tough to ferret out. I included the quote because it was the only place so far claiming the school is the "first accredited college preparatory boarding school in the country that has developed a program specifically tailored (etc.)" Thanks for your help. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 03:15, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- Anytime. I will be asking an admin friend to keep an eye on them, their behaviour is setting off multiple red flags in my head and I honestly do not want to deal with them any longer. Best, Zeke (talk) 03:16, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
