This is a personal tool that I use myself. Others are free to use it if they like. I do not propose its use in any sort of policy. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:11, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Basic Education Evaluation Form and Standardized Test for Evaluating Worthiness
For use on articles on high schools, particularly those listed on AfD. This scoring system represents my personal opinion and nothing more. I will be using it in future in order to make sure that my own evaluations of high school articles are as objective and consistent as possible
Each yes answer counts one point.
A) Is the article more than two sentences long?
B) Does the article contain at least one coherent paragraph of text (other than list items)?
C) Is the article more than 2000 bytes long?
D) Does the article contain at least three facts that are not on the following list:
E) Does the article include a photograph of the school?
F) Does the article list at least one alumnus notable enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia article?
G) Does the article mention a regional or national news story that mentions the school? (Not descriptions of athletic events in local media)
H) Besides F and G, does the article make a serious effort to establish the school's notability and describe some distinct things about it that distinguish it from other schools?
I) Would an alumnus of the school, reading the article, be pleased at how knowledgeable the article was?
J) Could a teacher learn anything relevant to a job search by reading this article (other than basic contact information)?
