Twomey Center for Peace Through Justice

Fail WP:GNG, promo. Another small center belonging to Loyola University New Orleans without own notability The Banner talk 09:23, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The efforts of Louis J. Twomey, S.J., as founder of Christ's Blueprint of the South and of this Institute, long before such efforts were common, makes this institute notable in itself. See the book on him and his biography at New Catholic Encyclopedia. Other recent coverage would include a spinoff, an update in The Louisiana Weekly, and mention in The American Jesuits: a History. Also, a search of newspapers yields dozens of hits for Christ's Blueprint for the South., for Twomey and for Twomey Center for Peace Through Justice. Under its previous incarnations it also had considerable newspaper coverage, as Institute of Industrial Relations and Institute of Human Relations. Please see my completion of my comments below.

 * Perhaps mr. Twomey is notable on his own but that does not make the centre notable. The Banner talk 11:26, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * You came in while I was still completing refs, please check again. While Twomey was a one-man-show (from 1947) for many years before his efforts at social justice were popular at the University or in the South, his work is carried on through the Institute which took on several names over time and remains active independently of him and as a tribute to his efforts. Jzsj (talk) 11:35, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * It would be nice when you came up with some independent sources about the centre itself. Nor the magazine, nor mr. Twomey make the centre notable. The Banner talk 13:25, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * There are many articles in the newspapers listed above underInstitute of Industrial Relations,Institute of Human Relations, and Twomey Center for Peace through Justice that verify the earlier and ongoing works of the Institute. Jzsj (talk) 13:55, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * A plain listing verifies nothing... The Banner talk 14:11, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Since I am currently banned from editing school articles, we can only hope that some kind soul comes along and introduces to the article a selection from these abundant newspaper sources . Jzsj (talk) 14:17, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per G11. I really wish the article creator, user Jzsj, would learn what a reliable source is. Ten of the twelve references in this article are self-published by Loyola University New Orleans. This article never should have been written or published, as it provides next to no evidence that the subject is notable. It is just promotion.96.127.243.251 (talk) 00:40, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Must you ignore all the newspaper sources, a selection of which are listed above? Jzsj (talk) 01:20, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
 * What you have given is just a listing of articles with a specific text in it. The Banner talk 02:04, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
 * If you check them you will see they contain a variety of texts. Jzsj (talk) 02:42, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I cannot check them as I do not have access to Newspapers.com. The other ones you mentioned that are not behind that paywall are either peripheral to the subject (biographies of founder), pubished on sketchy platforms (a farmer's market blog?) or minor passing mentions. As you continually and fundamentally misunderstand the concept of reliable sources, notability, coi and promotion, I am happy to take the Banner's word for it that they are just passing mentions and not good sources. The Banner has an excellent grip on the notability standards we employ here, as well as the standards for sources, so his opinion here carries weight. It appears this discussion is moot as the article has been speedy deleted.96.127.243.251 (talk) 05:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
