[edit] College of the Sequoias

This college does not establish notability, is a stub, and is already listed in the Visalia, California article. -- Riffsyphon1024 10:16, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep:

1) It's a college, an institution of higher learning, so it is a priori notable by Wikipedia standards.

2) It's a stub, in need of time for expansion, and

3) It was a stub all of 3 minutes old when you slapped the VFD tag on it.

A little quick on the trigger there, Hoss? --Calton | Talk 12:20, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep colleges and universities, and please reread civility. —Korath (Talk) 13:06, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Note: Changed from stubstub to stub. Also, I find your passive-aggressive snarkiness very uncivil and unfounded: if you think drawing attention to a bad practice is uncivil, well, it can't be helped that you'll be offended by feedback frequently, then. --Calton | Talk 13:45, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Calton's rudeness in this subject as well as others does not help matters, only hinders them. At the same time, smacking VFD on a stub three minutes after it's created does not help matters either, and serves to bite newcomers, if the page isn't vandalism or patent nonsense.

• Keep. Agree with above. —ExplorerCDT 22:39, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I have no problem with keeping colleges, even junior colleges. But I repudiate both Mike H's and Calton's comments. RickK 23:03, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, all universities are notable. Tygar 01:59, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • It's only a two-year junior college, not a university. RickK 05:10, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's an edicational institution.--Centauri 06:48, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • LOL, I take it that none of them institutions ever got you "edicated." (sic) —ExplorerCDT 07:35, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC) (had to)
    • You could have kept that one to yourself. Mike H 11:53, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. James F. (talk) 17:57, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Colleges are notable in my book. Also, please remember civility and wikilove when making your comments. Capitalistroadster 18:37, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. -- Necrothesp 15:25, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Calton said it best.--Gene_poole 01:25, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: a college with 10,000 students is just as notable as a town with 10,000 people. hike395 12:49, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
