[edit] This article

I have undone an attempted merge to the District - no consensus means that the article survives. Further, the official website affirms this as a school. It has faculty, students, a campus and it educates - a school by any other name! TerriersFan 21:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I personally think it makes sense to keep it as a separate article. As TerriersFan notes, it has its own building, faculty and students (and its own mascot, I might add), which makes it a school in my book. I think keeping the information is the important thing, though. Whether it is a separate article or part of the District article is secondary and is more a question of what makes sense to a person who is using Wikipedia to find the information. I don't strongly object to merging the information into the District article if (1) all of the relevant information is retained, (2) the source citations are maintained, (3) the District article is well organized so that a reader can readily locate the material on Vistas High School, and (4) a redirect from this article exists, preferably to the exact section of the District article, now that the wiki software allows such redirects. -- DS1953 ^talk 22:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
