Comment - I found a source from the University System of Georgia and updated the article with it. I was not able to find other sources mentioning this building. 199.192.65.251 (talk) 00:03, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails GNG and GEO; Nothing meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. Just because it existed doesn't make it notable. // Timothy :: talk 08:46, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Cuthbert School to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Delete The sources cited by Cunard do not establish notability: as coverage of local events, brief announcements and routine coverage, they are trivial coverage, not significant coverage. The sources establish that it existed, but that does not make it notable WP:ORGSIG The school does not pass WP:NSCHOOL. . Hmee2 (talk) 21:25, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

delete there really isnt anything here to write an article about. The listed articles do not describe the school in any detail. --hroest 18:26, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Regarding "The listed articles do not describe the school in any detail", this is incorrect. The 13 May 1938 article discusses how the Cuthbert School's Purple Tidings school newspaper was "awarded a certificate of distinction by the Georgia Scholastic Press Association in Athens to denote outstanding excellence in journalistic work and ideals among high schools from all over the state". The article notes, "The paper, only commendation from John Drewry, two years old, recently received director of the Henry W. Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, for its progressive stream-line makeup and policies."
The 13 December 1924 article discusses how the Southern College Conference rated the school as an "A" grade high school. The 23 March 1958 article discusses Cuthbert High School's annual Parent-Daughter, Parent-Son banquet in very extensive detail. The 20 November 1937 article notes that the school did not have any students who "failed in college" in the last eight years since the school superintendent joined. The article notes that the school "added departments of public school music, of public school speech and a school newspaper" in the last eight years. The article notes that the school's newspaper The Purple Tidings was founded a year ago. The article discusses the running of the newspaper.
Numerous articles discuss the school's graduations and sports games. This is sufficient to meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools, which says it is sufficient for a non-profit school to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.
The school was covered in reliable sources in the decades spanning the 1910s and the 1960s. This is sustained coverage of the school.

None of the above is SIGCOV. It is ROUTINE normal news, it doesn't show notability. // Timothy :: talk 08:01, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools says a non-profit school is notable if it meets Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Neither guideline requires a school to have received significant coverage beyond "ROUTINE normal news". Cunard (talk) 08:11, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
