Mother of Divine Grace School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This appears to be a non-notable organization with the same name as several other catholic schools in the US. It doesn't look like there are many sources online that can help establish notability; most hits I get appear to be various business directories, a few blogs and what looks like personal websites, plus some sites from various catholic organizations.

Before nominating this article it was listed for a month over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Homeschooling in order to get more feedback, but as the wikiproject appears to be completely dead no feedback was received. Bjelleklang -  talk 21:13, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Here's my 2 cents:

I am not knowledgeable enough about "Divine Grace School" to have an opinion about deletion. However, I respectfully request that "Stoa USA" not be considered for deletion. Stoa USA and "Divine Grace School" are completely unrelated and are entirely different in purpose, size, and scope. Stoa USA is much bigger (there are over 2,000 people in the organization) and it operates on a national scale. Stoa USA is also NOT a school (as mentioned in the article). It is actually one of the largest national speech and debate leagues in the country. If we are going to consider Stoa USA for deletion, it would be prudent to also seriously consider deleting articles on NCFCA, National Forensic League, and the National Catholic Forensic League because those organizations are similar in purpose, size and scope. Furthermore, the nature of Stoa USA is such that, when examining the structure and policies of the organization, the most reliable sources are from the organization itself. In light of this, perhaps a more appropriate course of action would be to recommend that more reliable 3rd party sources are used in the references, rather than consider it for deletion. Thanks.

 * Fair enough, I'm striking it from this afd and will look more at it later today given the additional information. Thanks for your input! Bjelleklang -  talk 06:30, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Elementary schools are generally not considered to be notable unless there is a specific reason. TBr  and  ley  18:39, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
