While schools have a certain amount of "inherent notability" in Wikipedia, this is a defunct school that only existed for 10 years. It had no (as per a quick search) news coverage or notable alumni. Joe407 (talk) 20:41, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect in very abbreviated form to Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yisrael Meir HaKohen its parent institution. IZAK (talk) 00:49, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. Jayjg (talk) 03:11, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Highschools, and especially colleges, are generally accepted as inherently notable.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 03:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I noted this in my nomination. It is a defunct highschool that was a branch of Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yisrael Meir HaKohen.  I'm starting to like IZAK's suggestion. Joe407 (talk) 16:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks Joe, that's why I already prepared the groundwork here. Quite often there are valid AfD's but they would result in the loss of some key information and that is why I often favor the "Merge and Redirect" solution that in effect facilitates the AfD but by the same token preserves a key piece of information or two that can be gleaned from a below par article and should and can be preserved in another directly related article.

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


 * Merge/redirect per IZAK. A reasonable solution. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:01, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree with IZAK. רח"ק | Talk | Contribs 06:57, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge & redirect - if it does not  exist  it  can't  be notable. Kudpung (talk) 16:04, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * There's a difference between "it does not exist" and "it no longer exists". The latter certainly can be notable for Wikipedia purposes.  Mandsford 17:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
