Fails GNG and NSPORTS. In my WP:BEFORE search, only routine coverage shows up regarding game recaps; the article's actual subject matter – a Utah high school's boy's basketball program – is non-notable. Enterprise High School is not a national powerhouse a la The Patrick School (NJ), Mater Dei (CA), IMG Academy (FL) etc. SportsGuy789 (talk) 23:00, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article states names, dates, and information that is factual. The information is referenced to the Deseret News, which is the oldest continuously operating publication in the American west since 1850. It also references the Utah High School Activities Association, which is the governing body of Utah high school sports and keeps all the sports information and sports record book in the state of Utah. The article summarizes the basketball history of Enterprise High School in a clear and concise way. People have said thank you for creating the page.

It might be factual, but it isn't a notable subject. High school sports association record books are primary sources and local coverage of local high school sports is not really notability-lending. To further SportsGuy789's rationale, not even high schools like IMG Academy or Oak Hill have independent articles for their sports programs regardless of their success.

IMG Academy and Oak Hill should have independent articles for their sports programs, as well as Enterprise. I don't believe there should be a limit on the number of independent articles out there. Wikipedia is a great online encyclopedia where people search for this kind of information. Why not have Wikipedia be THE Source for where ALL people can obtain the information and knowledge they are searching for. Yotejonga (talk) 02:18, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because that is very much not Wikipedia’s purpose. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of notable topics, what you are describing is a database of indiscriminate information, which is explicitly against Wikipedia’s mission and against policy. GPL93 (talk) 03:36, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Agree with nominator regarding GNG and is not notable otherwise. Seems to be some fandom going on here. User:Let'srun 16:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
