Century High School of Santa Monica

I suspect this article is a WP:HOAX, or more correctly, a scam. A google search for "Century High School of Santa Monica" returns nothing [1], yet a search for "Century High School" "Santa Monica" [2] returns the top link [3], a site promising diplomas in one week or less. My feeling is that the reputation of schools such as Century High School (Santa Ana, California) is being exploited to make money, and that this article was created as part of this. Indeed, a link to the Santa Ana school website was placed on the page [4]. nadav 05:42, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I'm sorry i don't know how to use the wikipedia program well. Im not a scammer im a student there Heres my myspace www.myspace.com/masterlevon . My schools a small Christian school not alot of people know about it it dosent even have a thing to myspace. Neither did my other school Mekhitarist fathers armenian school of tujunga ca. Alot of people say where the hell is that when i tell them where i go. I cant find a link to the site in not sure if it has one. Ow and that one week diploma thing is a scam thats the thing that i wrote on my page. Gevo227 2-25-07

Gevo, it's hard enough judging articles when they don't include jokes. There possibly is a website--the name may possibly be slightly different. I suggest you ask at your school--however small it may be , there should be someone who deals with the computers. I rather doubt that your school will be notable enough for a Wikipedia article quite yet, but it should certainly get itself a page on the web. DGG 06:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I only made the article so people would know what school i go to instead of saying Where the hell is that. This is my first article i tryed to make and im sorry if anyone was offended. Id just like people to know more about my school. If it does become an article on wikipedia i am going to hand it over to the school so they can add the classes and all that stuff. As far as a web site goes Father Argustis always tells me a computers the devils way of corrupting innocent people looking for answers. Yeah i know extremely crazy but hes a nice guy.

Gevo, I want to apologize if I have wronged your school. It may indeed be a very small school, in which case that explains why I couldn't find anything about it. I hope you understand that the only reason I nominated the article for deletion was because I was afraid Wikipedia was being exploited for some evil scheme. In hindsight I may have been too quick with my words. Are there any reliable sources you know of that mention your school? If so we can use them to establish your school's notability and thus save your article from deletion. nadav 06:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:N. Even if it's a fake school offering diplomas that fail state standards it isn't notable as a fake because it hasn't been noticed. --Dhartung | Talk 06:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete per WP:V and WP:N. Also, this is absolutely a hoax. American private schools are not incorporated into public school districts. Even in California . . . Here's the district's website if you still have any doubt: http://www.smmusd.org/ --Butseriouslyfolks 03:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
