Talk:Texas A&M University College of Liberal Arts

Recap on restorations of this redirect to article state
This page was an article that was replaced with a redirect to the university's article on 28 May 2023 as the outcome of a deletion discussion, Articles for deletion/Texas A&M University College of Liberal Arts, which found the college lacked independent notability. User:Aquabluetesla has twice restored article content to the page, leaving the explanation the first time, returned as independent sources were added after all the votes for deletion were cast.

However, in the first restored version, the only sources cited that weren't on the website of the university or of its fundraising foundation were Nothing had been added that could have had any impact on the redirect decision.
 * A dissertion about the college by an alumnus who proceeded to a career at the university . Not independent.
 * One article from the website of a Texas news channel that is a solid sourceabout Texas A&M's College of Arts & Sciences, the present-day school that the College of Liberal Arts was rolled into along with two other schools. Beyond acknowledging that fact, the source has nothing to say about that college. Passing mention.
 * A published paper about research performed at the college but providing no coverage of the college.

This time around, two sources appeared that weren't in the previous incarnation.
 * An article in Inside Higher Ed about the downfall of a Texas A&M president that only once mentions the college in passing. Reliable source but irrelevant article.
 * A corporate biography for a Texas A&M professor and one-time dean of the college.

Aquabluetesla, please stop grasping at straws. There was a policy-based consensus against keeping the article. There are no new conditions that would change the outcome. If you believe that actual evidence of notability of the now-defunct college has arisen it would be best to raise at at WP:Deletion review. Please don't do that, either, unless you have familiarized yourself with the notability guidelines and you understand the criteria regarding sources and significant coverage.
