[edit] Yavneh Day School (Los Gatos, California)

Yavneh Day School (Los Gatos, California) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article violates WP:NOT#DIRECTORY. Bstone (talk) 16:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Merge and redir is fine with me. Bstone (talk) 08:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
As the creator of the Yavneh entry, I would not be opposed to replacing the current version with a redirect to the list of Private Schools on the Los Gatos, CA entry. I think that lack of notability is a better justification in this case than not a directory justification. If the page is deleted, I will not make a new entry unless I come across new information that meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. Thanks to User:Bstone for notifying me of the actions being taken here. AJseagull1 (talk) 20:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi AJ: A redirect meand that the valid and informative material will be lost. Kindly reconsider, see my suggestions for keeping the article, below. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 08:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

    • Dear Yahel: How is it "OR"? IZAK (talk) 08:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as Northern California's only Conservative Judaism Jewish day school it qualifies as notable. The various suggestions to merge above make no sense as that would dilute the unique nature and purpose of this important institution. Jewish schools like this are a rarity. Jews are always a tiny minority in any area and if all articles about Jewish institutions and events were based on their size then almost every article about Jews and Judaism could be "merged" into this or that sundry topic. The nominator should have requested more information and sources as this article is not written as a "directory entry." How else to write an article about a school but to start with the core facts about it?, which is not the same as writing for a "directory." To merge it into its geographic location makes no sense either as it is not a geographic topic. This article is part of many articles in a series within Category:Conservative Jewish day schools and of Category:Jews and Judaism in California. IZAK (talk) 08:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • NOTE: Yavneh Day School is now a disambigation page because there are a number of schools that go by this name. So far, it links to Yavneh Day School (Los Gatos, California) and Yavneh Day School (Cincinnati, Ohio). Both articles are at present being upgraded and improved with the requisite information, citations and references. The nomination should be suspended to give this enough time. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 09:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable information is here. I agree with IZAK that more time is needed to expand. Thanks. Bhaktivinode (talk) 15:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. User:IZAK and a GoogleNews search convinces me that a NPOV, V, and NOR article can be made. DoubleBlue (Talk) 16:30, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep With the changes made by User:IZAK, I think the article meets notability requirements to remain on wikipedia. AJseagull1 (talk) 16:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, among other things meets Wikipedia:Notability (schools) alternative criteria #1. --MPerel 19:55, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep now that notability has been concretely established. (jarbarf) (talk) 17:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep meets WP:School primary criteria. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 05:52, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
