Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Svmedicalcollege

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. This might seem to fly in the face of the keep-and-move opinions but there are logical reasons. 1) The article is a sub-stub; acknowledging the existence of an object doesn't make it inherently notable. 2) The website to which the article refers is still under construction, so no adaptation of information from that source can be carried out in order to flesh out the notable status of the college. 3) The author or other interested party/ies have had five days to improve the article to the point of notability and haven't done so. My conclusion to delete doesn't mean that this article shouldn't be recreated, just that a new version should include information that satisfies WP:Notability.  (aeropagitica)   (talk)  14:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Svmedicalcollege

This is a webpage, not an encyclopedia entry. I see no way this could ever conceivably be converted to an encyclopedic entry. FunnyYetTasty 11:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment What? SVMC stands for Sri Venkateswara Medical College. It is a college, not simply a website. Yes, there is a website for the medical college. The article needs severe copyediting as it only seems to be talking about the alumni and their website yet doesn't say anything about the college itself. What needs to be determined is if this college is notable or not. --HResearcher 11:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I'll acknowledge the existence of the medical college, but there this simply nothing in this article that is worth keeping. Wikipedia is not an alumni blog which is what this article is currently -- Whpq 12:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep — or maybe 'delete unless it can be rewritten Martinp23 20:23, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

  Comment: I'm willing to rewrite it. --HResearcher 23:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

  Comment: I have re-written it into a stub, so it should be kept. Today I read from another editor that all high schools are notable, from that I would extrapolate that all colleges are notable. What is the policy on colleges? --HResearcher 02:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This isn't about the college - this is one class of the college trying to use Wikipedia as an online address book. It's not even the full name of the college, so it would have to redir into the correct, full name. Medical school grads should know what Wikipedia is and is not, and it is not their alumni reuntion coordination page. Baseball,Baby! ^{balls•strikes} 22:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

  Comment: It is about a college now. --HResearcher 02:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep is it a notable Indian medical college? If it is notable then the article should be moved to Sri Venkateswara Medical College. --HResearcher 23:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as stub and move - There obviously is a college by this name, we should leave the stub (better than nothing) and move it to the correct place. A short article that can grow in the right place is infinitely better than no article. --Daniel Olsen 04:31, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and move as per HResearcher and Daniel. ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 15:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and move per above. -- thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK}18:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Move to Sri Venkateswara Medical College and Delete Svmedicalcollege. utcursch | talk 12:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Question : What about adding the place to the title of this article ? I suppose there are more than one SVMCs and SVECs in India ? Tintin (talk) 13:32, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
