Faculty of Information Technology Engineering of Damascus University

This fails WP:GNG. I propose it because an educational organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources which this department hasn't been. Note: Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources (if any at all) is not sufficient to establish notability.
 * Proposal: Delete and merge it into Damascus University. Mr T  (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 07:50, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * 'Delete and Merge' is not possible for licensing reasons(that makes the merged content copyvio). It should be either 'Merge and redirect' or 'Delete and redirect' or 'Delete' or 'Redirect'. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 06:03, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No Anbu that is not impossible (it's complicated maybe), see this & WP:MAD. Mr T  (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 08:17, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Fine. But, why do you think those complicated methods are absolutely required in this case? -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 09:20, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom and Wikipedia:College_and_university_article_guidelines, though in this case the article largely consists of a list of undergraduate course topics which is not at all notable except for those doing the course/exams, so there is little to merge.

 * Procedural Close - AfD is not the place for discussions about merger, which this appears to be. Lukeno94 (talk) 14:17, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well it was actually "delete and merge" on my end. I have corrected it. Mr T  (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 10:29, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable enough for its own article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:24, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing notable about this faculty. Yazan (talk) 14:50, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect The content is not worth merging. But, the title is worth redirecting. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 05:56, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Not really. Nobody would search for this. The generally accepted shorthand would be "Faculty of Information Technology Engineering, Damascus University". But nobody would search for that either! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:47, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
