Lincolnwood Jewish Congregation

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

Fails WP:GNG <--and falls under WP:BLP1E-->. The only available sources mention the congregation for a one time incident. TM 16:27, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have struck my mention of BLP1E. Not sure what I was thinking there. Still, it is--TM 19:49, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How is BLP germane to this subject?--brew crewer (yada, yada) 16:54, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep due to defective deletion rationale. An attack on a synagogue has no WP:BLP1E implications. No living person is mentioned or even alluded to. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 16:58, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 1 event refers to biography articles. It is not a rule against all articles about things that become notable for one event. We even have articles on single events.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:14, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The event in question is not about the congregation per se, but the vandalism done to it during the Gaza War. There is still the issue of GNG.--TM 15:36, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Antisemitic incidents during the Gaza War#United States per WP:NOT#NEWS: There has been no assertion or evidence of independent notability. WP:BLP1E may only be for biographies, but its more general concepts of WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOT#NEWS, and WP:AVOIDSPLIT are for everything. Unfortunately, being subjected to highly offensive vandalism is not an uncommon event, as the redirect target already shows. --Closeapple (talk) 01:44, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Closeapple. Other than the vandalism, I have been unable to find anything more than routine directory listings for this synagogue. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:54, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - Under grounds of Not News. Non-notable institution other than for a single incident by nationalist asswipes. Carrite (talk) 21:57, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per WP:NOT and no evidence of enduring notability. I considered a redirect, but I think that codifies that the only notable thing about this congregation is that they were once targeted by anti-semites.--Kubigula (talk) 02:20, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I'm not keen on a redirect; among other reasons, I'm unclear what makes Antisemitic incidents during the Gaza War any more notable, or any less of an indiscriminate list, than anti-semitic incidents at any other time, during Arab-Israeli conflicts or otherwise. Bored teenage punks throwing bricks through windows are a dime a thousand. Non-notable even by non-notable standards of these purely local incidents. (I admit I'm scratching my heads at the Keep voters who based their opposition on the deletion ground they didn't like while ignoring the perfectly valid one.)

Delete per WP:NOT#NEWS, absence of significant in-depth coverage fulfilling WP:GNG. Ammodramus (talk) 13:07, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a non-notable synagogue. This compares unfavorably to some others that have been kept; see, for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation (2nd nomination). Having been attacked by anti-Semites is only one reason for notability. See also User:Bearian/Standards#Notability_of_historic_churches. Bearian (talk) 20:22, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
