[edit] Jewish Life Network

Website receives a 3,000,000+ ranking on Alexa. Non Notable --Zandarx ^talk 03:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:WEB as nn organisation. --Arnzy ^{(whats up?)} 13:12, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I find four NY Times articles about it and their proposed construction of a Jewish cultural center in Manhattan from a Google search, as well as mention in the possibly notable "Jewish Journal of Greater LA" and numerous other hits. —Centrx→talk 20:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep 462 unique Google Web hits out of about 10,800. 17 Google Book hits for the phrase. 16 Google Scholar hits for the phrase. Two current Google News hits for the phrase. A clearly notable organization. AFD started 26 minutes after stub creation - and marked as a stub in initial creation. GRBerry 01:44, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

comment -- If you are going to participate in the vote, please leave a reason. Otherwise label it as a "comment" --Zandarx ^talk 23:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

My vote stays as a vote. Reasons? Okay, Alexa has no wikipedian significance, and this article is linked to by the article of Michael Steinhardt, a very notable hedge fund manager and philanthropist. --Christofurio 19:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep -- notable and recognized not-for-profit foundation (also known as the "Steinhardt Foundation"). An April 2005 article from Brandeis University notes the establishment of the Steinhardt Institute there: "Since establishing Jewish Life Network/Steinhardt Foundation a decade ago, Steinhardt has donated more than $100 million in support of programs and initiatives that are successfully renewing American Jewish life." Please note that Website rank is meaningless, as it is not an online venture.--Leflyman^Talk 21:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn, WP not a free webhost, and it sounds like they don't need a web presence anyway. Tychocat 07:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Perhaps there's some confusion over the word "Network" in the title. In this sense, it has nothing to do with the Internet/computers. It's a "network" for funding educational and cultural programs. WP is not providing a "free webhost"; the foundation already has an extensive web site: http://www.jewishlife.org --Leflyman^Talk 16:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Just to clarify, I don't think that Tychocat meant that the 'network' was a free hosting site. He said "Wikipedia" is not a free webhost, as in Wikipedia is not the format to advertise for a company or orginzation. --Zandarx ^talk 17:04, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• I understood Tycho's reference to WP:NOT a free host. There appears to be some confusion about the foundation, as you have based your non-notability claim on "Website" rank, and previous editor claimed nn under WP:WEB (now stricken). Like numerous other charitable foundations on Wikipedia, this one is entirely appropriate and verifiably notable. It's not advertising here; it's a non-profit. See, for example the similar Harold Grinspoon Foundation, National Foundation for Jewish Culture and American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. --Leflyman^Talk 17:25, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per GRBerry and Leflyman -- Nesher 16:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
