Carter Career Center[edit]

Un-notable high school, that instantly fails the google search notability test. Wikipedia is not a directory, nor is it an indiscriminate collection of information. This article blatantly violates both. Fails all four criterion of WP:SCHOOL. Fatal!ty ^(T☠LK) 09:45, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First, WP:Schools says "This proposal has failed to attain consensus within the Wikipedia community." Second, I hold the position that most high schools in the United States are notable. Second, I feel that it is possible to write an article with reliable sources as I can access the Houston Chronicle archives. Third, if the result is "delete" it will be in fact a merge to List of Houston Independent School District schools - Also, while the Google test isn't really used for judging notability, just as a mental exercise I determined that the string '"Carter Career Center" Houston -wikipedia' generates 2,910 Google hits, mainly from school directory sites.

I think your position is biased. Why the US, other high schools are just as notable even if they are in Europe, Asia, Africa or Australia. (I would consider any schools on Antarctica instantly notable :) ).- Mgm|^(talk) 12:30, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not WP:SCHOOL failed to gain consensus is a moot point. This school is completely un-notable and can easily be merged with this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatal!ty (talk • contribs)

A merge does not require deletion. You could have just been bold and done it, or go for more discussion at Wikipedia:Requested mergers. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:27, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the merge would almost certainly have been reverted, as we normally merge elementary schools and junior high schools only. FWIW, high schools outside the US are equally notable if the article gives enough information.DGG (talk) 02:07, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Since the school is aimed at pregnant girls, it is set apart from the thousands of other schools in the US. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:30, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Anyone who wants to expand it is welcome to it, but there isn't enough information there to keep it at the moment. TopGearFreak ^Talk 13:09, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Previous concensus and the WP:SCHOOL proposal both hold that high schools are inherently notable. Edward321 (talk) 16:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Why go against longstanding precedent? There's nothing to say that this one is less notable than the tons that have been nominated at AFD but been kept. Nyttend (talk) 05:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - not only a high school but one that contains a highly unusual program. I'm travelling at the mo' but will add some more content tonight ... TerriersFan (talk) 11:42, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
