Miami Beach Community Kollel

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The notability of this depends on whether this is an institute of higher education analogous to a college, or an adult study program . As I understand it, a kollel can be either. I am not sure. It would of course help to have some actually substantial references, but we have consistently held that all colleges are notable. I see that it consists of only 2 professors and 9 students, or I would have not have questioned whether it was correct to call it a formal college-level institution.

Weak Delete. A kollel as described here is not a formalized college-level, educational institute. From reading the article and from my OR on kollels of this type, it is a group of Lakewood graduates who are looking to positively influence the Jewish community in Miami.

"These classes are open to the community and are well attended. The Kollel occasionally offers larger lectures, and special events especially during holiday times. The Kollel is also a community synagogue offering services three times a day and on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays."

While this is great, it is more along the lines of a community non-profit than a higher education institute. Joe407 (talk) 07:26, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The notability of this depends on whether this is an institute of higher education analogous to a college, or an adult study program." No, it doesn't. Even you recognize that this kollel does not neatly fit into any familiar category of kept or deleted pages at wp:outcomes. The solution in this unfamiliar case, surely, is to apply wp:n straightforwardly. Yet you would rather engage in a pointless and metaphysical discussion of whether this is a "formal college-level institution." Come down from the clouds and think about the concrete idea of looking for independent sources with which an encyclopedia article can be written. And--what a coincidence--this is what wp:n counsels. 160.39.213.222 (talk) 07:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
