Bachelor of Surgery and Bachelor of Chiropractic

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The intent (and value) of this article is grossly unclear. The bulk of the article seems to refer to a degree program of only one education institution (University of Cape Coast), but it is unclear if that is the only institution which offers this degree. If not, the information about the institution should be removed, leaving almost no content; if so, the information should be included in the existing article on the institution, not in a standalone (stub) article concerning the degree.  Dwpaul  Talk   21:53, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Further, the descriptive text in the lede ("Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery") is different than the page title ("Bachelor of Surgery and Bachelor of Chiropractic"), making it even less clear what this article is about.  Dwpaul  Talk   22:02, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Lastly, the one reference for the page (to the above mentioned institution's web site), ostensibly to describe that school's program, is now a dead link. [Later] The correct link appears to be here, by name the program in the lede (not the one in the title). Dwpaul  Talk   22:04, 30 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Agreed, delete. I was just about to PROD this when you nominated. Tried to verify or find sources and found nothing. If it's about the degree mentioned in the title I don't think it exists anymore (if it ever did), if it's about the degree mentioned in the lede which Dwpaul found a source for it's already covered in University of Cape Coast which is noted as offering MBChB degrees. acb314 (talk) 23:38, 30 January 2014 (UTC)


 * But, alas, and to add to the confusion, I believe ChB is intended to refer to the Bachelor of Chiropractic component, which is not in evidence at all on the school's Web site . So the page about the school seemingly requires some editing also (not only to remove the wikilink to this page if it is deleted). (The school page and this page were created by the same editor on the same day.) [Later] The Web site link above refers to the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree using the short form (MB, Ch B), so it seems as if the B of Surgery is actually a degree in chiro??  What a mess.   Dwpaul   Talk   00:51, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete It's impossible to even tell what the name of this degree is - but fortunately it doesn't matter. It's not deserving of a freestanding article whatever it is. Props to the nominator for finding and nominating this mess. --MelanieN (talk) 15:30, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. There have been a few of these idiosyncratic degree programs brought to AfD, and none of them have made any credible claim to notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:43, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
