_____

I am not clear as to why this would be deleted. This is a seminary that employees people and has a fair number of students. It is located in the real community of Owensboro, KY. It is one of several seminaries using a new format that encourages and often requires their students, training to be pastors, to stay in their local church where they are mentored and trained by their pastors throughout seminary studies. As more resources are found discussing the history of this insitution the content that benefits the article is being added. This is what make me unclear about why the article would be deleted.

• Kyle.Mullaney Hi, I suggest you read WP:NORG which explains the notability requirements for organizations. In a nutshell, to have a Wikipedia article, the seminary must have independent sources that cover it in depth. It isn't entitled to a Wikipedia article just because it exists.

• Comment: According to WP:NORG, {{tq2| The scope of this guideline covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose with the exception of non-profit educational institutions, religions or sects, and sports teams.}}

:Under [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Schools Schools,], the guideline specifies, {{tq2|All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy WP:ORG, general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria.}} —Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:34, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

• Keep. I've added content, newspaper sources, and evidence of the seminary's non-profit status. With significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources, the subject meets WP:GNG. Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
• Keep per Grand'mere Eugene and WP:HEY. StAnselm (talk) 19:16, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
• Keep -- Theological seminaries are frequently quite small, as they are commonly teaching only one subject. Some churches will claim to have an academy, but this turns out to be a weekly Bible-class or such like. This one appears to be offering degree level training for students, so that (like a university) this is a tertiary college, though apparently in its early years.

• Keep as the article has been improved since nomination with the addition of multiple reliable sources references such as newspaper articles so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 03:49, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
