Clemson University Graduate School

No justification at this point for this to get its own page. All it is is a link farm to pages on other sites, along with some info copied and pasted from the Clemson University article. A strong case could be made that this is just advertisement as it's currently written. fuzzy510 (talk) 10:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * In my opinion the article can stay but the 50+ external links have got to go. In fact I'm going to drop them right now. ike9898 (talk) 13:51, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep The school is a fairly important graduate school, with about 3000 graduate degrees a year, and 37 doctoral programs. The article can be much expanded, but significant graduate schools usually have separate articles. DGG (talk) 14:11, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment While that's all fine and good, the location bit is copyvio from the grad school's website, and the only information that ISN'T lifted from the Clemson University page is that which you stated, which is repeated once in the article. Should we really have an article for one sentence? fuzzy510 (talk) 19:09, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - whatever else, this page should not be deleted. The debate is whether this school merits its own page or should be merged into the main article. In my view, this is another instance where the nominator should have initiated a merge discussion rather than a deletion discussion. TerriersFan (talk) 20:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge into Clemson University, making sure that any copyright violations are deleted. I agree with Terriers Fan that should should have been a merge proposal and should not have come to AfD. If someone wants to expand in the future, it can be resplit. Lady  of  Shalott  22:20, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to parent article for now. Should it expand to become unwieldly as a section it can then be split off. Notice should be taken of the creator's nick. This does look overly promotional and COI to me, but the subject should make a nice section at Clemson University.  Dloh  cierekim  22:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - The page has been edited to be more objective and now matches comparable pages such as the Graduate School of Duke University and the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (among others). CUgradschool (talk) 16:49, 23 April 2009 (EST)
 * Keep - I believe the changes made by the author justify keeping this article separate. Many Universities (especially as large as Clemson University) have separate articles for their individual "schools".  Clemson's Graduate School is it's own entity with it's own target audience, which in many cases can be completely different than the target audience of the University as a whole.  The author should continue to add more unique content, which I am sure there is no shortage of.  This is a new page, give them time to build it.SKYGUY04 (talk) 12:33, 24 April 2009 (EST)
