[edit] Merging Department Information in this article

I think that it is unnecessary to hae one article of the Math Faculty and for the two department therein. I have placed merge notices on both of the department article to be merged into this one.

I added a merge tag on this page as well, per merging guidelines. phoebe 19:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep separate - I would rather see an article for each of the departments; however, I do think the Faculty article is somewhat redundant.

DAMTP has a distinctive history, both within the field of mathematics and as a department within Cambridge University. Although the current article does not yet go into the details of this, I am sure someone will flesh it out in the future. Aquilina 13:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Agree - historically DAMTP had a very distinct ethos, especially under Batchelor.Linuxlad 21:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• This is an empty article. What should be done? Guy 19:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

The Faculty long pre-dates the Departments so there should be plenty of history to cover if you can find suitable published sources. Joseph Myers 20:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Merge - I agree that DAMTP has a distinct history, but given the smallish size of each of the three articles, there seems to be a prima face case for merging them. Both the departments in question would become major sections within the Faculty article, so would be perfectly visible. Redirects from the existing dept titles would bring viewers to the main faculty article okay. -- MightyWarrior 13:29, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Merge despite having a DAMTP PhD. If anyone adds enough to make it worth having a separate page we can always spin it off then.--BozMo talk 14:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Merge. At the moment none has enough content to warrant separate pages. Mlm42 19:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
