[edit] South Pacific Association of Bible Colleges

This is a list of certain schools, which WP:Is Not. There is already a list of Bible colleges so this is a fork to promote certain Australian bible schools. If this group of schools is notable it isn't demonstrated. The group's webpage fails to explain notability [1], which is also just a list of "independent" schools.

• Keep. This is more than a list. It is an association in existence since 1969. Capitalistroadster 00:37, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

If we keep this, we will slide down a slippery slope and end up with Tri-state Association of Bible Colleges and Five Corners Free Will Reformed Association of Bible Colleges and Buddhislamic Association of Christian Synagogues of Vishnu Bible Colleges --Ruby 01:09, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Other than a date, how is it more than a list? Arbustoo 01:38, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Are you, Ruby saying that these associations exist? This organisation does exist! Paul foord 05:01, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I think his point was we don't know what educational clout/recognition this "association" has or why it is Wikipedia worthy. Arbustoo 20:43, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, its such a slippery slope...as if writing an article about this institution would cause other institutions to be created. Then we would have to write more articles. Oh, the horror. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 00:34, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep the association exists, it is international in scope with some notable members, the list can be put on the list of Bible Colleges if desired, but the Association at least deserves a stub. -- Paul foord 05:01, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable association which has been in existence since 1969. Cnwb 06:03, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per all of the above Jcuk 22:33, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep its not just a list. Its an article about an association, which is notable. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 00:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep WP is not lists, but this is a valid, international organization with numerous members. Sandy 15:50, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
