Proposed deletion of Foreign Languages Department


The article Foreign Languages Department has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Per WP:OUTCOMES, individual departments of universities are not generally considered independently notable. In general, such articles are redirected to the article for the parent institution, but in this case, the title is entirely too general for a useful redirect.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Foreign Languages Department
I noticed that you removed the proposed deletion template from your Foreign Languages Department article. If you read Articles for deletion/Common outcomes, articles about individual departments of schools are almost always deleted or merged based on outcomes at articles for deletion discussions. You have not written anything in your article that shows how this particular department is any more notable than any other foreign languages program at any other university. I feel that your addition of the "newpage" template is rather disingenuous, and is simply an attempt to forestall the inevitable deletion of this page. However, I'll let the matter lie for a while and see if you can add any information that indicates any actual notability for this department. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:19, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
