  • Keep All secondary schools are usually considered notable, as are all colleges. From the description, this falls somewhere in the middle. There is considerable difficulty in referencing religious schools of this sort from easily available sources, but the sources generally do prove to exist. DGG (talk) 02:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I've added some cursory references. Both Bircas HaTorah and Rabbi Shimon Green are notable. - Operknockity (talk) 02:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Based on the description of the program and the multiple sources provided, the Wikipedia:Notability standard is satisfied. Insertion of these sources as inline references will greatly improve the article. Alansohn (talk) 05:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The sources in the article provide sufficient basis for notability. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 05:18, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral pending more sources being found, I'm not convinced the ones found so far constitute "significant coverage", most of them seem like trivial mentions relating to a seperate topic. Guest9999 (talk) 07:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • comment - if the final decision is not deletion, then spelling should be changed to HaTorah. --Orange Mike | Talk 22:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Agree - And by the way, how do you get capitalization correct on a first submission? It seems WP always 'fixes' capitalization on first sub, requiring a subsequent edit. - Operknockity (talk) 03:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
