Not sure what went on previously with the deletion and blocking recreation of this article. Most articles about colleges cite their own website for information, rather than citing newspaper articles or other independent sources. In this case, the school's existence is shown by citing the ELCA website and its accreditation is shown by citing the website for the accrediting body. Given that it is an accredited college, then the best source for details about the campus organization and arrangements is the school's own site. Even unaccredited blatant diploma mills get an AfD rather than a speedy delete, which gives interested editors a chance to improve the article if it is a stub (or less) or to substantiate its notablity.

After review of the wikiproject philadelphia rating guidelines, etc, I have adjusted the rating on this article to a "start" class rather than a "stub" class. The article is relatively well-cited, drawing from three separate reputable sources. It is coherently organized. It contains at least an in-depth description of the campus and campus buildings, as well as the academic offerings of the school, meaning that it has appropriate depth of content in at least two areas. The article could use some good images, to be sure. I promise to try to add some good ones in conjunction with content in the Northeastern Lutheran Archives in Philaelphia, as well as adjust and add depth to the history section. More certainly could be said on this. But it is important that the class-ratings fairly and accurately represent the content on the page and not some cursory examination, as seems to have been the case. So far as I can tell, the class might even reasonably be assessed as higher than "start," too, but I will leave that open for discussion here on the talk page. Perhaps people can help--like, maybe the folks from the Philly project--in identifying areas that are missing or underdeveloped, so that we can work together to create an even better article. But just labelling something without offering advice is extremely unhelpful, especially when the rating/label doesn't match the content.-- Apostlemep12 16:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Image:LTSPlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
