[edit] Lubavitch Yeshiva Network

Lubavitch Yeshiva Network (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

We already have Category:Chabad schools, but this sorry mess is neither a "list" nor an "article" it is just a poorly thrown together hodge-podge often with telephone numbers given (with international codes when dialing from the USA) to boot. One shudders to think what happens if this type of thing ever gets to grow on Wikipedia? Basic violation of WP:NOT#DIRECTORY; WP:NOT#REPOSITORY; WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE, and it just looks like a huge WP:COI (formerly WP:VANITY) to promote one brand of Hasidic Judaism. Mercifully, no-one has thought of creating comprehensive lists (with telephone numbers and names of staff, offices and dorms, oy!) of every last school affiliated with every branch of Hasidism... Perhaps, when more decent articles about schools and yeshivas are written there can be a List of Chabad-Lubavitch yeshivas to go with Category:Chabad schools, but for now this mess must go.

• Delete . Indeed, the "article" is a disaster.--Yeshivish 04:17, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
• clearly this article has no merit and should be deleted but the topic of a "lubavitch yehsiva network" can merit inclusion in an encyclopedia. I hate it when a bad article is deleted and then a good article with the same name is speedied as "Recreation of deleted material". The comment in the deletion should make it clear that a real article on the topic should not be deleted. Jon513 17:44, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
