on the ''purported'' 'rosh yeshiva' precedent, I would point out that (i) neither of the AfDs cited by Agricola44 resulted in a 'keep' outcome, (ii) no substantiation has been offered that there is any precedent that "even small religious colleges are 'major academic institutions'" (iii) Such a precedent would be dangerous as (a) there are a large number of such "small religious colleges", often lacking much in the way of third-party coverage & (b) 's caveat that "It is possible for an academic to be notable according to this standard, and yet not be an appropriate topic for coverage in Wikipedia because of a lack of reliable, independent sources on the subject." (which should provide a legitimate hurdle for such articles) appears to be largely ignored
