[edit] The UC Merced Library

The UC Merced Library (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The page for the UC Merced Library consists of material that was removed from the original UC Merced Wikipedia page. I doubt that there's really enough information or noteriety to warrant a seperate article on the University's library when sufficient information is already covered on the UC Merced page. Thus, unless there are any good reasons to keep this article as is, or any edits with sources to verify its noteriety, I propose it be deleted. TheLetterM 02:04, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete — Wow, if you hired an advertising firm to write a promotional brochure for a library, this would be it! Tocharianne 16:18, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Only 345 ghits when ucmerced, Wikipedia and mirrors are eliminated, and those are all directory entries. No sources cited and I doubt there are any aside from self-published. Robert A.West (Talk) 22:49, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: "The Library building is named for Leo and Dottie Kolligian". Any more Ghits under that search? User:Zoe|(talk) 23:03, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
    • A few, but mostly not mentioning the library, or doing so trivially. Some routine annoucements about Leo Kolligan's being appointed regent. What appears to be the record of an estate he inherited. A mention on a construction website that he has financed a lot of construction work at UC Merced. I just don't see anything that establishes notability for the library as a separate entity. Robert A.West (Talk) 00:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge/Delete Merge all relevent information into University of California, Merced without the POV, and then delete the rest. It reads like an advertisement, and I think anything that this article has to say can be said as part of a larger article. --Sbrools (talk . contribs) 04:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
    • What's to merge? There already is a section on the library. Robert A.West (Talk) 12:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and do not merge, as there is no content worth saving. Back in September, various anon IPs and users repeatedly tried to add this text to the main article. I think at least one claimed to represent UCM or its library, with the implication that they had the right to control the article. See Talk:University of California, Merced#Library. On a side note, I'm glad they "strongly support the idea and use of Wikipedia in the proper environment". szyslak (t, c, e) 22:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
