[edit] Largest Colleges in Texas
Fails WP:Bio the primary notability criterion[[1]]: "A topic is notable if it has been the subject of at least one substantial or multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject".- topic is not notable - as compared with, say, the Big Ten (movie studios) where the ten largest of something is in wiki terms notable.

- Comment. The comparison is inaccurate, because the "Big Ten movie studios" were never identified as such outside Wikipedia. See Talk:Major film studios. --Metropolitan90 18:09, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment WP:BIO applies specifically to people, of which this article does not concern. — PSUMark2006 talk | contribs 18:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment WP:BIO is somewhat wider than just people, but I take the point - have amended comment above. Perhaps I should have tagged it "cat=I Indiscernible or unclassifiable topic". I am happy to withdraw and re-nominate, or amend the category, if the community wishes. Springnuts 20:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- I would say that you could just change the category and rephrase the nomination. You don't need to withdraw anything. Despite my comment above, I don't support keeping this article, but I'm not submitting a formal recommendation yet. --Metropolitan90 21:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you Metropolitan90 - I have changed (I hope) the cat; also rephrased the nomination. Springnuts 22:04, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

- delete as a subjective list without clear guidelines. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 03:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- delete if changed to , e.g. 10 largest ... it wouldn't be subjective, but it would be equally unnotable. DGG 04:19, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- delete per Niffweed's comments. Suriel1981 11:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
