notability & unsourced. Krj373*(talk), *(contrib) 16:53, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Unsourced nonsense ("some sort of Asylum...the facts are unclear"). sixty nine   • speak up •  18:13, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Seems to be a jumbled-up mismash, possibly conflating several real institutions. There is a playschool of this name, but it was founded in 1976. Isaac Hopper is real (we should probably take this link out of his article) but sources on his life (another, another) don't mention him founding a school, much less a surviving one. There is coverage in Google Books of some organisations in Philadelphia with this name dating back to the 20s and 1910s (including this in the 70s, which may be the modern one, but huge chunks of this article seem apocryphal. I can't find sources to convert this into a decent article. Blythwood (talk) 20:12, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The article as originally written was a jumbled up mishmash; but Isaac Hopper was one of the 23 people who originally chartered the Children's Village Juvenile Asylum in New York (Not Philadelphia). I've begun a re-write based on a NYT article from the 1800s.  I've located a LOT of other sources with a google books search.  I don't know when I'll have time to work on it further; I'm leaving in a few minutes, but this definitely has potential.  Don't speedy it; let the AFD run its course, and by the time I'm done it'll be in more than a fit state to keep. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 21:48, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep.  Extremely notable, the subject of many newspaper article-- see Draft:Children's village, which needs to be merged into this article. Since there are  others of this name, all is needs is a distinguishing title.  DGG ( talk ) 17:40, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep based upon comments from DGG and the rewrite-in-progreess from ONUnicorn, subject appears to be the recipient of non-trivial coverage from reliable publications. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:32, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG's comments and improvements by ONUnicorn. Some WP:BEFORE couldn't been employed - With "Children's Village" being a rather multi-use term, doing a search with Isaac Hopper would've demonstrated this satisfying notability requirements.  --Oakshade (talk) 07:29, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - This is a real, notable institution, despite the quality of the article. BMK (talk) 21:17, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Would an admin please check on the provenance of this article? I swear I've contributed to it before its putative creation date of a few days ago.  Was there a previous article by this name?  Is the other article still around but under a different name?  I'm a bit confused about this. BMK (talk) 21:32, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, I've moved the article to Children's Village (New York) in order to disambiguate it. BMK (talk) 21:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:ORG. Just Chilling (talk) 21:20, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Blythwood. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 22:40, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
