High Tech High

Poster can't even bother to tell us where it's located and who Larry Rosenstock is. Rick K 22:03, Nov 1, 2004 (UTC)

Delete. Vanity or advertisement, non-encyclopedic. --Bbugg 23:14, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Weak keep. Much more notable than most high schools[1] (article also has link to Forbes mag article) and article has been expanded since it was nominated. Newcomer's first article that now has a speedy tag claiming the info is untrue, but I could verify all of it except the bit about how many students attended the first year, and given the current # of students, 200 seems likely.

I've changed the tag back to VfD. I was even able to confirm that Alex Dodge[2][3], at least, while not notable, does attend the school. Niteowlneils 23:59, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I agree. When I posted the 'speedy' tag, the contents of the article was:

"Many people have died to get the information here, please take a second to remember them. Little is known about High Tech High because the students that attend it are forbidden to talk about the events at the school at home. If it is learned that a student has divulged information regarding the operations and events that take place inside the school doors, the students memories will be altered."

You can see why I would put a reason of 'untrue' in the 'deletereason' tag, but the article has since expanded, and seems to be factual now. neutral.CB Droege 02:19, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Neutral. May have potential, not sure, but unless someone fleshes this out a bit more it would be no great loss. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:52, Nov 2, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Of course there is a 'great loss', the loss is this article cannot become like Moanalua High School because the stub keeps being deleted. --ShaunMacPherson 03:00, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete or redirect to San Diego, California. Let those who know the school and those who know San Diego judge notability and hash it out accordingly. I 1) merged the information into San Diego, California using the exact text of the last edit by BBoard12, 2) put a careful description of the origin of the text into Talk:San Diego, California, preserving GFDL-traceability, and 3) then edited the text to clean it up and shorten it. I believe this is a GFDL-OK merge and that either merge-and-delete or merge-and-redirect are now possible. If people want to edit it out of San Diego, California, the text will remain in the history for San Diego, California and will be available for inspection or restoration at any time.

Keep. Even might make the notable test that RickK is so fond of. I'm sure someone interested in project based learning who has more time then I do will make the article better with time. If not, I'll see what time I can find after the US election fallout is over. — Florescentbulb 04:20, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Sorry, as of right now, there isn't anything that makes it notable. WHY is it called High Tech High? What is the import of the name of the person who started it? What are its accomplishments? Rick K 08:20, Nov 2, 2004 (UTC)
Inadequate description of notability, insufficient for an article on its own. If left in the San Diego article, really needs to be cleaned up. How about a table - school name, type, founded, number of students? I'd prefer to have an overview description of the education system (e.g. San Diego has X school districts with Y elementary schools and Z high schools, see Education in San Diego for further details) Average Earthman 10:06, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
