Merge discussion

[edit]

School article guidelines suggest that, saving some outstanding claim of extraordinary notability, all middle school articles be merged into the appropriate school district article. Gtwfan52 (talk) 03:33, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Except that Emerson and Union Hill used to be high schools, and both have copious secondary sources to justify their own articles. Also, can you link to that guideline? Nightscream (talk) 21:33, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The notability section is at WP:WPSCH/AG#N. That is the subsection of the entire guideline. Did both schools end up becoming the same high school? If not, why can't the applicable info be covered in the high school's article? Many schools have been in different buildings throughout their lifetime. There are lots of info in both articles, I agree. But how much of it is really notable? Was the history and notable people mentioned part of the building's life as a high school? If that is the case, I would support either merging the info into the high school's current article or pagemoving these articles to titles indicating they are historic high schools. None of that changes the fact that middle schools simply aren't going to be notable, unless something of extreme notability occurred there. Mostly, the only middle school articles that are surviving are schools that are located in NRHP buildings. Gtwfan52 (talk) 22:02, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
