[edit] Merge

I don't think that this article fufills notability requirements and is probably a vanity article, but I don't think it's unnotable either. So, I propose a merge with the main school page. --Mindtriggerz 03:26, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Object - This article should be separate for several reasons:
  1. The school district, Fayette County Public Schools, acknowledges MSTC as a program independant of Dunbar HS. [1] MSTC has its own "School website," "school email," etc.
If considered as a school, which seems to be - at least partly - how the district considers it, an argument has been put forward that all schools are notable. If you do not accept that argument, I believe MSTC still reaches the level of notability. On average, about 4% of MSTC graduates earned perfect SAT scores, and about 16% are National Merit Finalists. All graduates complete a major research project, which is presented before peers and university professors and frequently leads to published work.
  1. As mentioned within the article, the MSTC director is at the same level within the school district as a HS principal, and so does not answer to the Dunbar principal.
  2. Although housed within Dunbar, MSTC has its own distinct facilities, including a computer lab, greenhouse, chemistry lab, and director's office.
