The result was redirect to USC School of Cinematic Arts. As a side note, I took classes in this division during my time at USC :) ansh 666 07:58, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

John C. Hench Division of Animation and Digital Arts

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Sub-division of USC School of Cinematic Arts. I redirected but was reverted by an IP citing OTHERSTUFF, so taking it here. This is an academic division within a larger school within a university. The information is best contained within the school itself. Suggest redirect and merge from history. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:37, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect. The current text is WP:PROMO, even including a lengthy quote direct from the USC web site, and the WP:OTHERSTUFF argument won't fly, so I agree with Tony's original decision to redirect. The USC School of Cinematic Arts article is currently an ugly collection of lists, so including a section on this division would improve that article, but I won't suggest a merge due to the complete lack of creativity and objectivity.

 * Redirect to USC School of Cinematic Arts. University schools and departments don't always qualify for standalone articles, let alone divisions of those schools and departments, and this one doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:49, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Media Arts and Practice and USC Interactive Media & Games Division are both divisions of this university school. On top of maintaining consistency, it seems arguable to call the text WP:PROMO. As for the WP:GNG problem, removing John C. Hench from the name (given that there is only one known so-called "Division of Animation and Digital Arts," which is true) will yield different search results. 68.181.206.43 (talk) 23:11, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * You might read WP:CoI. Jack N. Stock (talk) 23:15, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Go ahead and redirect it. (Though the inconsistency between the presence of a page for each subdivision of the parent school does bug me a little.) I firmly believe the page should be kept, but clearly it's not a popular opinion. 68.181.206.43 (talk) 23:29, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete sub-units of sub-units of universities are very rarely notable on their own. Anything of note can be included in the article on the sub-unit of the University of Southern California it is a part of.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:12, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
