Talk:Central Catholic High School (Pittsburgh)

Notable Alumni References

I've gone through the Notable Alumni list and found as many references as I could. Unfortunately I could not find one for Joseph Costanzo, Jr.. If anyone can find one please add it, otherwise I'll delete him by the end of the year. – Paschmitts 02:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Another alumnus of CCHS is Len Pasquarelli (senior writer for ESPN.com, covering the NFL) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.26.25.20 (talk) 15:23, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Also, Sal Sunseri - All-American linebacker at Pitt and currently assistant coach for the Carolina Panthers of the NFL —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.26.25.20 (talk) 15:28, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Sal Sunseri is not a notable alumni of Central Catholic High School. He has not made any significant contributions to the school that allowed it to further advance its' mission values. All the other alumni mentioned on the page have been hand-selected because of their recognition that Central has played an incremental part in their success and because of their desire to contribute to the school; whether it be in monetary donation, or scholastic advancement etc. Sal Sunseri, unfortunately, does not, at this point in time, deserve to be recognized. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.84.86.69 (talk) 23:49, 31 August 2008 (UTC) we should recognize polk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.72.67.66 (talk) 18:30, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I disagree about Sal Sunseri. Though he may not have given money to the school nor made any contributions post graduation, he still in fact is a graduate of Pittsburgh Central Catholic and is a notable name in the NFL. It is my belief that the word "notable" means a person of recognition in a certain field, and Sal Sunseri therefore meets that definition. Just because someone hasn't donated money to the school it doesn't make them any less notable. (Redbluegold (talk) 19:41, 5 June 2009 (UTC))

Also, a number of alumni have been added that might not meet the definition of the word "notable" listed above. I think it needs to be decided whether "notable" means someone who gives to the school financially and or scholastically, or whether it means someone who is recognizable in his field or work.

The tag for Kyle Wilson directs readers to an article about a football player from Boise State. This is not the same person so I am going to go ahead and remove the tag. (Redbluegold (talk) 18:41, 11 June 2009 (UTC))

I went to Central, class of 1975, you will find that comedian Denis Miller went to Central his first two years of high school. Transfered out for his junior year. In the year book 1973 his name is listed as D. Miller but he was absent on picture day so his picture does not appear. Also, both Steven Zapala and Paul Scholle are prominent lawyers with the DA's office in Pittsburgh. And Finally, Thomas Kornick who played on the National Championship football team at The University of Pittsburgh in 1976 and then transfered and redshirted on the 1977 Notre Dame National Champion team went to Central as well, to my knowledge he's the only player in NCAA history to be on consecutive championships at two schools. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.4.123 (talk) 22:12, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Style of "history" section

Not to be rude, but I feel that the "history" section reads more like an advertisement for the school than an actual description of its history. Several phrases are severely biased and indicative of skewing, including descriptions of the high school's "soaring towers" as a "rich symbol", its "affirmation of the values of the individual", and so forth. I suggest that this entire section be reworked to fit in with Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view standards. Any thoughts? KFan II (talk) 20:41, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protect request

A lot of CCHS students have been vandalizing/falsifying information on this page. CIP: Matthew Sudnik is a teacher at the school. He does not meet notability guidelines, and this could fall under Biographies of Living Persons. I am going to request semi-protected status for this page on those grounds.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Theonesean (talk • contribs) 3 April 2013

Not done: requests for changes to the page protection level should be made at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 19:20, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
