Dapdap high school

Cannot find a website for this school on Google — probably does not meet notability requirements. Also, the article has been tagged since November and not seen any substantial improvements since then. Lea (talk) 10:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The school is apparently real, but has no web presence (a common issue with schools in the Philippines).[1] Of undetermined reliablity: UPU contest mention. As for the article, if the commendation could could be sourced, other problems would be a 5-minute cleanup job. • Gene93k (talk) 15:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sadly, "Outstanding Secondary School" tarlac yields no relevant hits; I have no clue how else to dig up a source for this. -- Lea (talk) 21:34, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
comment - try "Dapdap National High School." - I think we also need to give some wight to the fact that wikipedia has v few articles on schools in this country and notable schools do not have to have web sites in English or even web sites. Victuallers (talk) 17:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- From googling Dapdap National High School, I find [2], which lists an address. From the current article I got very limited news coverage at [3]. Those two are not enough to establish notability or even to put any substantial (cited) statements on the article page. If anyone has an idea how to verify "Most Outstanding Secondary School" in 2004, we might have a good reason to keep this article, but as of now I'm not really convinced. -- Lea (talk) 22:03, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Keep - the IT department of the school is notable for the development of the first schools division website in the region. Also, the 'most outstanding school' award is certainly an incontrovertible claim to notability. Though this has not been sourced (Philippines schools are not well represented on the web and a local search would be needed) that is not a ground for dismissing the claim rather for tagging (as has been done).

- Oh, that's sweet; thanks for adding it. I believe we have enough notability — withdrawn. -- Lea (talk) 17:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
