- Very Weak Delete. Not sure here. On one hand the Hartford Courant, the biggest newspaper in a fairly populous state, appears to have a routine "in the schools" section that regularly covered Enrico Fermi. But, almost all of the coverage is routine in nature (e.g., school dances, sports, announcements, etc.), or human interest stories that do not necessarily contribute to notability. nf utvol (talk) 00:29, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- keep or merge into Enfield High School nothing against local newspapers, this article seems well researched with lots of references to offline newspaper archive which I presume is WP:SIGCOV of the local school (I dont have access to these offline sources). The article is well sourced with a lot of informative details that would be hard to research online and offline. I dont see any reason to remove this work, it should be preserved either in this article or in the Enfield High School article. AfD for high schools is designed for poorly researched, WP:ROTM articles that have no encyclopedic quality and cannot be supported by WP:RS, this article is not that at all. This was discussed here with exactly this problem in mind:
- Because extant secondary schools often have reliable sources that are concentrated in print and/or local media, a deeper search than normal is needed to attempt to find these sources. At minimum, this search should include some local print media. If a deep search is conducted, and still comes up empty, then the school article should be deleted for not meeting the GNG - Editors are not expected to prove the negative that sources do not exist, but they should make a good-faith effort to find them. If a normal-depth search fails to find any evidence that the school exists, the article on the school should be deleted without the need for a deeper search.
- However, in this case the article author has done exactly that, a deep search with local media and produced a reasonable quality article based on coverage in WP:RS. --hroest 14:41, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
