Unneeded list. Only one entry was ever placed on the list, and that entry was redirected based on a deletion discussion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:10, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge / Redirect to Kollel This article has a reliable source about the community kollel concept, and the Kollel article has further material. There's not enough here to merit a standalone article now, but I could see one justified in the future. The "of America" should be dropped from the title and the article changed to a redirect. The "Kollel" article can serve as an incubator to foster development of a list that could be used to recreate a potential list in the future. Alansohn (talk) 01:46, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, L Faraone 01:16, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect: per Alansohn, as well sourced information lacking significance as an independent article for now. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 01:40, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect to Kollel#Community kollels. Hopefully there will be a time when this topic can be developed within WP boundaries. It is a pity that the only example on this article's page is a topic that was itself up for an AfD and was also subsequently "merged and redirected" (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bensalem Jewish Outreach Center). HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE: Please see Kollel#Community kollels. There are in fact dozens of such institutions that have sprung up all over the USA and they would deserve an article of their own deserving of encyclopedia entries, but it will require a lot more than this basically "empty" list that mentions only one such institution that itself was not deemed worthy of its own stand-alone article. Editors who wish to contribute such articles must ensure they make the effort to introduce a well-documented article with many examples. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 05:20, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
