- Keep: Used Newspapers.com to find published articles talking about the proposal to build a new middle school in Benbrook, with them talking about advocacy in the city for a new school: in one an ex-city council member stated how, until then, there were parents moving to other cities as they felt the existing schools were not meeting their needs. Then I found a 2013 article that talked in detail about how residents wanted a centrally-located high school too. These sources should be sufficient for WP:GNG.

- Can you provide the links to the individual sources? 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 15:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Source 1 (about the 2007 bond and reception by residents of Benbrook), Source 2 (advocacy by residents of Benbrook), and source 3 (about adding the high school), all for notability. This FWISD-written ad connects sources 1 and 2 specifically to the school itself as it demonstrates the 2007 bond had Benbrook Middle (now Benbrook Middle-High) built WhisperToMe (talk) 22:06, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep, based on the significant coverage found at newspapers.com. You should be able to obtain free access to this at the Wikipedia library ([1]) Jacona (talk) 18:12, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

- PaulGamerBoy360, That's an excellent question, because I started with BHS. I found a lot of interesting information, especially because some of it pre-dated the current school by many years as there were proposals to rename Western Hills High School to Benbrook, and there may even have been an older edition of Benbrook High School, I'm not sure. Also please note, adding quotes around the entire search string helps, but newspapers.com is kind of weird about how they handle that. Getting back to the original question, I believe that many of the post 2007 articles about Benbrook High School address this school, and I never searched for BMS. There's a lot of articles, and I certainly haven't spent the time to read them all or to make clippings. It just appears unnecessary to do that to establish N for my purposes, there's a lot out there. — Jacona (talk) 19:19, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- I found that it started as Benbrook Middle School, so I searched with that in the years 2004-2011 or so (a range), and I found articles about the development. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:02, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, I have never used newspapers.com because i never knew I had access to it. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 14:43, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
