[edit] Merge from The Perfect Prom Project

I think a case can be made for Charitable Prom Organizations to have an article as a blanket group. I think The Glass Slipper Project, by virtue of appearing on Oprah, merits an article.

I do not think that each and every local project is notable in its own right, however, especially when the assertion of notability is for being "one of" a number of CPOs. That's why I'm thinking that The Perfect Prom Project needs merged into the article here. There's not a lot of content on it, certainly minimal enough to be brought in here.

By way of analogy, sororities—(inter)national organizations—have articles. Individual chapters do not. Accordingly, I'm thinking at best merge, if not outright delete, The Perfect Prom Project. Discussion? —C.Fred (talk) 03:34, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I do not think this is like different chapters of the same sorority. Rather this is more like separate sororities with similar missions. Each are notable in their own rights. Also, the Glass Slipper Project mentioned on the Oprah show, features the Perfect Prom Project on a section of its website. Additionally, the Perfect Prom Project has been covered in news papers and on television.

I would like to add to the argument that the Glass Slipper Project is an organization that is listed as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and therefore receives certain benefits that The Perfect Prom Project does not; such as tax deductions. We wouldn't want the consumers to have a false or exaggerated understanding of our organization. The Perfect Prom project is just in it's beginning years and is growing to be as large and could surpass the Glass Slipper Project. Therefore I disagree with the argument CFred has made. You don't blanket every starter restaurant under the category of "restaurant". Give us our time to bloom before discrediting our work.

All of these organizations are doing the best that they can do and deleting us shouldn't even be considered.

no merge i agree that this article should not be merged because its a separate organization and deserves its one article.I am removing the merge on: consensus no merge and that discussion more then 1 year old. IngerAlHaosului (talk) 15:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
