Not meeting minimum inclusion requirement of WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Being Vice Chancellor of any University does not warrant an encyclopedic entry. Hitro  talk  12:18, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep All vice chancellors meet WP:PROF and it supersedes GNG. Though it depends on what you think Vice-Chancellor is. –Ammarpad (talk) 20:59, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, WP:PROF says that the "highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society" is notable. Sometimes, this is the vice chancellor, sometimes it isn't. I'm not familiar enough with Nigerian schools to make this determination, but I thought I should clarify that the guideline doesn't say that all vice chancellors are notable under that guideline.

 * It actually does says so. Emphasis original, not mine. Also regarding Vice-Cancellor/Chancellor, this has been clarified many times. Vice Chancellor doesn't mean deputy of Chancellor, as many people who know only Universiy president (mis)think. It is the highest office in university system in many African and European countries and is higher than named chair and "Chancellor" post itself, which is ceremonial title. Same with professor title. In North America every university teacher is a "professor", while it is not so in Commonwealth countries. You can't be professor by mere teaching you have to earn it at the level beyond teaching. –Ammarpad (talk) 04:52, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * That sentence you quoted has nothing at all to do with what I wrote. I think I agree with you, and it's unfortunate that you think I meant to disagree. I don't contest that meeting PROF#6 makes the subject notable, but stating that All vice chancellors meet WP:PROF is an oversimplification. In many North American universities, the position of vice chancellor is not the top academic/administrative position. Mz7 (talk) 05:24, 19 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep This has been discussed over and over again. Vice Chancellor of notable Nigerian institution are deemed notable per WP:NPROF. With their recent nominations, might need to reread that. Mahveotm (talk) 12:51, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:PROF. Good job keeping up on these policies folks. I would not have known to cite this. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  01:03, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
