[edit] Stand alone article
I think this article should not be merged with the University of Dhaka article.Because every renowned university has separate articles for their schools e.g.MIT_School_of_Humanities,_Arts,_and_Social_Sciences. Tanvir che (talk) 13:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- If the entry on the DU article has grown in scope by including research programs/centers and accomplishments, notable faculty and alumni and further necessary information, it may warrant an independent article at a later time. Even the major article size is <30 KB. So there's no reason to keep separate article for each department.--NAHID 17:32, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

- Dhaka University is the oldest and largest university in Bangladesh, and for much of the last century the history of Bangladeshi higher studies corresponds closely with the history of Dhaka University. The faculties (it needs some disambiguation, as at government universities in Bangladesh a faculty means a cluster of academic departments) of the university more or less embody the development of whole academic disciplines in Bangladesh for about a century. Bifurcation is obviously a better option than a overlong article. Aditya(talk • contribs) 18:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Age and university size is not matter. I've mentioned major article (Dhaka University) size which is less then 30 KB. In that case department article should explained in parent article.--NAHID 20:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

- Unfortunately, this "faculty", which very much plays the same role as MIT schools, roughly represent the development of entire academic disciplines in the historical territory of Bangladesh for nearly a century. Which is way more than what can be said of even the most "prestigious" private university in Bangladesh, and all of those little bodies have their own article on Wikipedia. It has been served by some of the most illustrious academic personalities in Bangladesh, sometimes the top names of the world in their own discipline (example: Sunitikumar the grammatician). On the Wikipedia private universities that doesn't even have a fulltime teacher with respectable credentials has its own article. What seems to be lacking here? Notability? Wide scope? Potential to grow? I guess, the reason is a lack of understanding of the subject. I don't like it is not an argument to consider. Not on the Wikipedia.
