Completely unnotable fictional high school from Beverly Hills, 90210. Completely fails WP:N and Prod removed by User:DGG with note of "expand, main setting for notable film." -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 02:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Beverly Hills, 90210. Unreferenced, with no evidence of notability. --EEMIV (talk) 02:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge/redirect to Beverly Hills, 90210. The only thing I would like to see merged is the fact that the exterior of Torrance High School was used. (I suspect the Beverly Hills, 90210 article already states this.) Abductive (reasoning) 02:20, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, it does, with picture :) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 02:24, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect as above. No need for an article as the topic has no notability independent of the larger context and is merely in-universe detail. Eusebeus (talk) 14:17, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect. DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES! --Milowent (talk) 16:41, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a bit of shame about this one. When I saw all the hits, I thought that there might be content to write an article with but, alas, the sources were lacking.
- Sources I examined:
- "Beverly Hills, 90210: television, gender, and identity" by E. Graham McKinley: Only has a one line mention referring to the school as "posh".
- "Encyclopedia of television" by Horace Newcomb: Mentions the school by name with no further information.
- "The New York Times television reviews" by Staff Of The New York Times: Sole mention states that the school is "patterned after Beverly Hills High School and some private schools in Los Angeles".
- "Girl culture: an encyclopedia, Volume 1" by Claudia Mitchell and Jacqueline Reid-Walsh: Names the school in passing.
- The sources seem to mention the school purely as a by-product of discussing the show itself. From my research, I found that the school has not been the focus of any sources and has not been subject to any in depth analysis or discussion. In my opinion, these sources are not enough to act as a proof of notability or provide enough content with which to support an article. Redirecting to the larger topic may be beneficial.
