Ohio Junior Classical League

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Per WP:CLUB and the debates at Articles for deletion/North Carolina Junior Classical League and related pages, state chapters of a national organization are non-notable. While this article is somewhat long and previous versions longer, having significant non-notable, unencyclopedic fluff, coverage is only local in scope and entirely self-sourced. The limited encyclopedic information is better presented in a sub-list of the main article, per WP:CLUB. The only independent sourcing to this is a congratulatory notice in the Congressional Record.

 * Delete The national organization is notable and is well represented by the article National Junior Classical League. All the other articles about local chapters have been deleted, and this one should be also. 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."
 * BTW, responding to a comment someone made in another discussion just before it was closed: It doesn't matter if the articles about the chapters are stubs or if they are fully fleshed out articles. With rare exceptions, individual chapters of a national organization are simply not notable, per Wikipedia policy. I can tell there has been a lot of work put in here by members of the NCJL, who even created their own wikiproject; it's too bad they didn't read WP:CLUB before launching that project. I suggest that the information they have been putting here would better belong somewhere like Facebook - rather than in an international encyclopedia. --MelanieN (talk) 20:21, 31 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete individual chapters of this sort are almost never notable, and there's nothing here to indicate otherwise. I admire the devoted work of the contributors, but there a millions of uncovered notable topics.  DGG ( talk ) 23:22, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to National Junior Classical League state chapters. I would like to keep this article, but I don't have an argument for it so I'm compromising to redirect to OJCL's section on the state chapters list. Oxguy3&#91;dubious&#32; – discuss&#93; 16:31, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
