[edit] Professional doctorate

Unnecessary article. Nothing exists here that doesn't already appear in the much more expanded Doctorate — NMChico24 21:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep: It's barely a week old, it seems to have the possibility of expanding into a decent sub-article. A bit redundant for the time being perhaps, but at least give it a chance to fix itself up. --SeizureDog 21:59, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
  • How do you feel that this article can be expanded to not say exactly the same thing that's already covered under Doctorate? — NMChico24 22:11, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Not my field; I don't know much about the subject matter so I don't know. However, if you feel that it just repeats information from Doctorate then perhaps the information in Doctorate should be removed and not the other way around. Make it to be a split.--SeizureDog 06:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
      • That doesn't really answer my question, although it does generate a new one. Why would we want to split the Doctorate article? — NMChico24 07:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and Merge to Doctorate. No need for separate subarticle. Merge as a subsection to the Doctorate article, where it belongs. If the subsection grows in time to be large and unwieldy, then we can move it back to its own page. At the moment, its an unnecessary fork/duplication. Actually, it'd be more expedient simply to slap mergeto and mergefrom tags on the pages and wait a few days to see if anyone objects, rather than take this to afd. If people object and the merge is controversial, take it to WP:PM.Bwithh 23:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Normally I would agree, but there's really very little to merge. — NMChico24 23:38, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete. (delete and merge are two different things... it may not make sense to say delete and merge as a single comment.. delete OR merge may make more sense IMHO. ++Lar: t/c 01:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete/Merge to Doctorate. Seems to repeat the list on Doctorate but lack the text information. ThuranX 02:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per above. sharpdust 02:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to Doctorate. There's no difference between the terms that's worth having a different article. - Richardcavell 02:56, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Doctorate--Ageo020 05:56, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• <Merge into DoctorateDelete--chemica 06:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete outright, there really isn't any mergeable content. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 09:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no need to explain Bustter 12:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. There is nothing here that isn't in Doctorate. If it becomes significantly more than listcruft on that page, then it can be re-created. I'd be very suprised, though -- there is really nothing to this area other than a list. Ted^Talk/_{Contributions} 21:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, and merge anything that can be merged into doctorate. Should this be deleted, consideration ought to be given to nominating Professional Master's degree for an AfD discussion (Professional Bachelor's degree has already been deleted per this AfD discussion).

• Delete — They can (or maybe are, I didn't look) be put into a category. That's what they are for. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 02:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
