Talk:W.T. Sampson Elementary/High School

Latest comment: 7 years ago by JonRidinger in topic Merger proposal

Recommendation edit

Currently there exists a page for W.T. Sampson High School. Either this article can be merged with that or presumably this could just be modified into a page for the elementary school. Technically they are separate entities. User:Aneah 04:06, 12 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

References edit

Links to references are broken. Need updated references regarding the history of the school. Kubasaki HS in Okinawa is claiming oldest DODDS HS status. I think Sampson and Heidelburg both beat them, but it is hard to argue without a reference. HokiePE (talk) 21:56, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Merger proposal edit

The article W.T. Sampson High School should be merged into this one as it's all the same institution. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:07, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

It seems like there are three possibilities
  • Have one article that covers both the ES and HS
  • Have one article for the HS and one for the ES
  • Have only an article for the HS
If these the ES and HS are really considered one entity then the first applies. If they are separate entities and the ES is notable (which is very possible in this case) then the second applies. If the ES is not notable then the third applies. I'm trying to figure out if this is considered one school or two. The official website is for both the high school and the elementary school but they have separate buildings. What is also odd is that the school website [1] calls it W.T. Sampson ES/HS but the logo calls it W.T. Sampson School. EyeTripleE (talk) 08:59, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
From their contact info they make it seem like one entity called W.T. Sampson School [2]. I'd support a merge and move to W.T. Sampson School. EyeTripleE (talk) 09:04, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Merge and move to W.T. Sampson School. The website indicates it's a single school on two campuses, though interestingly enough, the elementary and high schools have separate colors and mascots (hence the logo with a pirate and shark). Administratively, though, it has one principal over the entire school. --JonRidinger (talk) 21:13, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
