[edit] List of fictional Oxford colleges, List of fictional Cambridge colleges

WHAT?! --Monsieur Mero 02:43, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)

  • Merge with Colleges of Oxford University. --Imran 02:46, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge. There are at least two other similar lists: List of fictional schools and List of fictional seats of learning. I think all of those should be merged into one. Andris 02:53, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge with List of fictional seats of learning, but not Colleges of Oxford University. — Timwi 03:01, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • I suggested merging with CoOU as that article already has a partial list of fictional colleges. --Imran 12:36, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Of course keep. Probably as it is, as I'd guess there must be thousands of fictional seats of learning. If not, keep as a redirect to List of fictional seats of learning. -- Oliver P. 04:26, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Why do we want to delete this? RickK | Talk 04:40, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Hmm, this information is actually useful (I'm a fan of His Dark Materials, and I never knew that the colleges were fictional), but I'm not sure this is the best way to present the material. Maybe merge with Colleges at Oxford University or merge with the articles on the particular works of fiction that they come from? - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 16:57, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep the content, at least... merging with the other fictional educational institutions sounds good. - Seth Ilys 18:07, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is one of the things I like about wikipedia, the little obscure lists that you find by browsing other pages. I wouldn't have been inclined to read these articles if they were part of an enourmous list of fictional institutions. It doesn't make much sense to merge them with the real parent institutions either, since they exist in separate universes. Lupin 10:38, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Absolutely keep. Perhaps link from Colleges of Oxford University. --Anjouli 15:22, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Fascinating, encyclopedic. Andrewa 17:37, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep as it is. Interesting and informative list. -- ChrisO 23:14, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Unnamed colleges - fictional?

I'm not especially familiar with the two examples of unnamed fictional colleges included here, but I'd be interested to know: are they known to be fictional? If the colleges aren't named might that not be because the setting is actually a real college, perhaps somewhat disguised.... --Casper Gutman 13:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
