The result was Keep. Consensus is that the topic meets the general notability guidelines. Clean-up, COI, and advertising not reaching blatant advertisement level are not a basis for deleting. -- Jreferee t/c 19:29, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] School of information studies

School of information studies (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Pretty clear advertising, written by single-purpose account, a non-notable sub-school of Syracuse, which already has a pretty substantial article. Deltopia 02:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as a likely violation of WP:COI. The Wikipedist 04:55, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless established that there is too much good material to be included in the current subsection in the Syracuse article.--SarekOfVulcan 05:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, advertorial content and the title is generic (there are many similarly named departments in colleges and universities). Cruftbane 10:52, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and rewrite. As the article says, rated no 1 in the US by USN&WR, Schools, as distinct from departments, of major universities are notable. and this one really is notable-- may be the highest ranking one in the world, not just the US. Even if it were a department, one at that rank would be notable. If any library school is notable, they are. I promise to rewrite the article appropriately. There will be many references for their programs--and notability--, especially since they were among the first to offer distance education in the subject. As for the title, it just has to be made distinctive, we dont delete for that. And we dont delete for COI, we scrutinize & rewrite. Didn't anyone actually read the article to see the notability, or just judge by the way it looks?. By the way, the nom forgot to notify the author-- but I just did. He obviously needs some advice--and I just gave it in no uncertain terms. DGG (talk) 11:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per DGG, but I hope progress can be made soon. It looks like it could use help from the Intensive Care Unit. Ichormosquito 18:42, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
