wow... extreme bias... excellence, we are, etc. we need to follow guidelines here!
 * Yeah, the page is pretty much a disaster and needs a complete rewrite. Tjarrett (talk) 15:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Restructuring
I tried to restructure the page into some semblance of a halfway-decent starting point. The Departments and Department Heads sections have been combined into a table; a proper history section has been introduced; and other framework including an infobox.

Room for expansion: notability of faculty; wikilinks for faculty; notable alumni (need new section). Tjarrett (talk) 18:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed merge with University of Virginia Cancer Center
not separately notable  DGG ( talk ) 03:21, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree this separate article should be merged. Many topics are not noteworthy enough to warrant their own articles and this is one of them. Bill Pollard (talk) 05:07, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on WP:NHOSPITALS, this passes the notability requirements for hospitals, and more generally, organizations. (Also, I don't think the Cancer Center is a unit of the SOM, so if you want to merge it, the article on the UVA Health System might be a better choice.) Natureium (talk) 15:42, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Also oppose merge, given the evidence for independent notability (WP:N). Klbrain (talk) 10:39, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Closing, given the arguments for independent notability. Klbrain (talk) 03:53, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
