Tertiary education establishment which does not meet WP:N, as there is no significant coverage in sources independent of itself. Proposed deletion was contested with the claim that "All colleges are notable" which is, quite frankly, nonsense. Claritas § 07:50, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I absolutely HATE the fact that this is a call for multiple deletions with one nomination. Each should get its own and be considered on it own merits — as a principle. Carrite (talk) 14:52, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That said, Merge All into the main Westwood College page — which somebody not affiliated with the school needs to edit hard, as it sounds like an advertisement. And "All colleges are notable," by the way. But departments of "colleges" like this one are not... Carrite (talk) 14:52, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is going off-topic, but WP:ORG makes no indication that "All colleges are notable". I'd be very surprised if there were tertiary education establishments which didn't meet WP:GNG, but there's not any consensus that they are inherently notable. If they were, we'd have a serious problem with deleting articles on Diploma mills. Maybe all accredited colleges are notable ? It gets a bit more complicated. Claritas § 16:53, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are repeated discussions of that issue, for example recent discussions at Wikipedia talk:College and university article guidelines. My own reading is that consensus is a little muddy at the margins, but leans heavily toward a presumption of notability for institutions that are authorized to grant degrees. That's just my reading, however. In any event Westwood College itself is pretty clearly notable under WP:GNG, which should solve the immediate issue of what to do with these spinoff articles. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:31, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect all to Westwood College. No need for these spinoff articles, which re-hash, at unnecessary length with excessive promotional detail, information also contained in the main article (which does indeed need a trim). I'd also support the same treatment for Westwood College School of Technology, not mentioned above.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll include that in the listing. Thanks. Claritas § 16:53, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect all to Westwood College. (I agree with Arxiloxos.) --Orlady (talk) 17:50, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect all to Westwood College. I'd say merge but there is nothing of substance in these articles, they are all fluff and advertising. --TorriTorri(^talk/_contribs) 20:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
merge all These are not independent institutions; whether such specific schools of a university are notable depends on the importance of the schools and of the university. I don't think that there is any evidence that these schools are sufficiently important to justify separate articles. These is confirmed by the fact that the various articles have almost nothing specific to say, other than what pertains to the university as a whole. DGG ( talk ) 05:21, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
merge after re,moving spam. Wikipedia is not a prospectus. Nuttah (talk) 21:12, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
