Dorothy Day Center for Faith and Justice

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable organization, fails WP:BEFORE. The organization itself hosts its website on Blogspot, which is not something one would expect for a something that was notable. References in article are largely published by unreliable sources or by related religious entities, making them non-independent. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 17:03, 10 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete or at best, Merge to Xavier University. The article seems to be about a campus ministry at Xavier University. Google news shows 2 sources which mention it in passing. It fails WP:CLUB as there is hardly any coverage in independent and reliable source. It is also unclear if their scope of activities is national/international. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:46, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Changed to merge (diff). A small mention in the parent university article is sufficient. Doesn't merit its own article at the moment. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 08:00, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - I found a few sources online that might be useful. Bearian (talk) 18:45, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Bearian, first and second are decent, albeit minor, mentions. Third ref is about Dorothy Day rather than the centre. Fourth is about someone else, and fifth is, I believe, simply a catalogue entry for a blog in the Xaveier university library. In short, it's a record of a self-published blog post. The link to permanent text in that one leads straight to the Centre's web site. It's good research work but I think it still shows the very weak nature of the available references and hence the notability.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 22:18, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, hence weak keep. Thanks for the backhanded compliment. Bearian (talk) 13:04, 12 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge with Xavier University. Engleham (talk) 04:13, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge with Xavier University. We do not usually have articles on individual university departments, schools, faculties, research institutes etc.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:38, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge with Xavier University, independent notability is simply inadequate.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:29, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
