Northside School of Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship is a rather pitiful WP:STUB about a "school within a school" that is part of Oliver Wendell Holmes High School, so should merge into the larger and more general article. The NSITE side article is unlikely to survive WP:AFD which is where it is headed if not merged.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  07:30, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oppose- The article has already survived an AFD & at the time it was in worse condition than it is at the moment. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 14:26, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Support Totally disagree with that close. Without the non-encyclopedic content, which I have just removed, it is a micro-stub, and wholly non-notable on its own. OWHHS is notable (to a degree) and it will fit nicely into that article. It can always be split out at a future date if notability comes its way, or reliable sourcing is found.

You can't just remove content from an article because you want the article merged, you have to wait for a consensus to merge, i have undid your edit due to it being a policy violation/vandalism. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 22:17, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
PaulGamerBoy360 I really don't care if the article merges or not (I even removed the merge request from the Merge Noticeboard the other day). The material I removed from the NSITE was either non-cited, non-encyclopedic, or filler. So you know, bad content can be removed at any time, by anyone. Article quality standards are a thing. Please review and understand the Manual of Style, that will help you with your editing and actually understanding "policy". Also, remember to AGF other editors' actions and discuss calmly, not confrontationally. In the meantime, you are more than welcome to find reliably sourced content and actually improve the article beyond the awful stub it is now.

I have restored some of the sourced content in the history section due to it being encyclopedic.(now there are only 3 events in the history section), I have also restored the See also & External links section because they are allowed per WP:MOS. The most reliable sources for this school will most likely be found offline so i have added a tag for texas experts and offline sources. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 15:08, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Support- I don't care whether or not it gets merged, the reasons i was opposing the merge were, a) It just survived an AFD, & b) I was thinking we would be able to find offline sources with help from someone in Texas.
●Comment- I did not know that there was a policy against removing the merge template & closing the discussion & I only did that because the merge discussion was removed from the WP:PAM. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 21:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
●Comment- I Have rewritten the history section to better fit with the Manual of Style. I have also restored the merge templates 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 15:07, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
