North Dakota Junior Classical League

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable state chapter of the NJCL. There are no external references and it does not pass WP:CLUB. Coverage is only local in scope and the limited sourced encyclopedic information is better presented in a sub-list of the main article, per WP:CLUB.

 * Weak Keep Better, I suppose that this be taken to the forum than what has happened so far. The basis for the deletion seems to be that a statewide high school academic competition and the organization that oversees it would not be considered notable if it has only local coverage.  However, I think that statewide events that bring persons together for an annual competition, such as the North Dakota State Fair, would be notable.   Mandsford 16:20, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The North Dakota State Fair is not just a local chapter of a national organization, and it could not be easily merged into a chapter list, as WP:CLUB recommends.  Reywas92  Talk 18:19, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Out of scope, as we currently define WP.  DGG ( talk ) 03:57, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

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


 * Delete The national organization is notable and is well represented by the article National Junior Classical League. All the articles about local chapters should be deleted. This is not just my opinion; this is policy. Quoting from WP:GROUP, "Aim for one good article, not multiple permanent stubs: Individual chapters, divisions, departments, and other sub-units of notable organizations are only rarely notable enough to warrant a separate article. Information on chapters and affiliates should normally be merged into the article about the parent organization." While we should at it we should delete the article National Junior Clasical League state chapters and the two categories, Category:National Junior Classical League and Category:National Junior Classical League State Chapters. --MelanieN (talk) 03:31, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
