I started this draft on a smallish rural Florida high school. It need some work if you're interested Thank you kindly for all your great work and for helping me work up various drafts. Much appreciated. I hope you're having a terrific summer. FloridaArmy (talk) 01:35, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
- FloridaArmy, I recall attempting to find sources for it, but not succeeding. I'll try again this week. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 16:27, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
- Indeed I see from the "What Links Here" page it is noted on two pages in your archives.
- It can be merged to the article on the district. Unfortunately this type of merge results in School Board article having coverage of the one high school that doesn't have an independent entry. So while it's better than not including coverage of the the school anywhere on Wikipedia it will have more coverage of it than the other district schools in that article.
- There was a time when public high schools like this one were deemed notable on Wikipedia, and I think they usually (always?) survive deletion discussions, but I am not sure how best to move forward if a draft on it isn't going to be accepted into mainspace.
- Regardless, thanks for all your help! I appreciate it. Take care and have a happy every day. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:14, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Request to review a few Drafts
[edit]Hey @The Knowledge Pirate
I’ve been working on a few drafts and was hoping you could review them when you have some time. Could you kindly take a look at Draft:Arunachal church burnings, 1968–1978, Draft:Christian persecution in Manipur, Draft:Lee Han-yeol
Thank you! Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 17:48, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
- Those definitely seem notable, but they are too advanced for me to review. I would try talking to someone who has been more active at WP:AFC than me, particularly an administrator. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 04:16, 22 August 2026 (UTC)
- No worries thanks a lot @The Knowledge Pirate Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 02:23, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
