Barnstable High School Marching Band was nominated fordeletion.The discussion was closed on23 April 2009 with a consensus tomerge. Its contents weremerged intoBarnstable High School. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please seeits history; for its talk page, seehere.

I'm personally glad this article was not deleted. Although not an alumnus of BHS (Barnstable High School) myself, I graduated from one of the neighboring "rival" high schools (D-Y). BHS is DEFINITELY in a class of its own, especially after the expansion and addition of the Performing Arts Center. Any "naysayers" need only see the school for themselves. It is impressive! -J

I don't think this article is anywhere near GA yet, and I'm inviting you to withdraw, since it's bound to fail

• The lead does not summarise the articleWikipedia:Lead section
• Much of the text lacks references
• The refs that are there are lacking information and are not necessarily formatted correctly perWP:MOS. As one example, ref 5 does not give the website, the date of publication or the author
• The section headings are incorrectly capitalised per WP:MOS
• At least one ref is also an external link
• the prose needs checking and formatting the book tiles should be italicised too. I think you mean alumni, not attendees unless they are still at school.
• The text is not encyclopaedic or neutral, eg
  • The music department is renowned in town because of its many accomplishments. is spam unless you can give it an independent verifiable source - there are many similar unsourced claims
  • The school itself has had a long and tumultuous history. one of several non-encyclopaedic sentences

I think there's too much to do to get this through in a reasonable time,this is the sort of article you need to aim for.

I do not think this school is significant to become a 'Mid' importance level. A school that'd might be a Mid-class would be for an example: Sandy Hook.Nick2crosby (talk)15:43, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
