The result was no consensus. There is no consensus about whether there is a valid list here, but even the keep supporters think it should be moved to Lists of chancellors and vice chancellors so shall move it there. Davewild (talk) 17:37, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

List of Chancellors or Vice-Chancellors of

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is definitely not something that we do. It is not a proper disambiguation page, because there are no articles actually having this title, and those that have titles close to it are universally partial title matches; Chancellor (disambiguation) exists to cover actual ambiguous uses of that term. It is not workable as a list article because the collection of information is indiscriminate. Government chancellors and educational chancellors are lumped together solely by title, not by function. bd2412 T 17:00, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2015 June 17.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 17:26, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as a list of lists, like Lists of presidents (dropping the "of") and rename Lists of chancellors and vice chancellors. It could be split into separate sections for schools and countries. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:19, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * If we're changing both the title and the structure, we're basically talking about having a different article. bd2412  T 19:54, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't agree. We're keeping the content. That's the main part of an article. KSF  T C 00:40, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Move to List of chancellors and vice chancellors I don't see anything wrong with the article except its weird name. KSFT talk 20:22, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete There's thousands of universities, each one would have to be added to this to make it complete. Completely unnecessary disambiguation page. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:45, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * (1) Not every university has an associated list. (2) This isn't a dab page, it's a list. (3) Lists (or dab pages) don't have to be complete. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:43, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Well an incomplete list is stupid, and there still are thousands of University pages. For me, it fails WP:NLIST and is basically just LISTCRUFT. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:35, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, move to Lists of chancellors and vice chancellors, and turn into a proper list-of-lists instead of a dab, per Clarityfiend. Almost all our lists are incomplete, so I don't buy the argument that its incomplete state means anything about whether it should be deleted. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:55, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * &Keep and move to Lists of chancellors and vice chancellors. These lists exist, for some but not all of the universities and countries of the world, so a list of them is reasonable. Pam  D  21:19, 18 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment: Hello all, I am the creator of this page / list and thank everyone for their time. I have also created another similar lists (Faculty of Commerce and Faculty of Arts (disambiguation)) and depending on the outcome of this discussion (and should the outcome of this discussion be delete), I humbly recommend we action those two pages as well. If need be, I will nominate other two pages for deletion with reference of this discussion. At this, I would also like to draw your attention towards a good solution provided here in another case by a very helpful admin. Just FYI. Thanks again and apologies if I caused any trouble. I was just trying to standardize names and make information easily available for readers. Cheers,  Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk)  05:55, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The issue is that these are all topics for Broad-concept articles. A "Faculty of Commerce" is a type of thing in itself, and we should have an article with citations to references and textual information describing the history and common characteristics of this type of entity, rather than a page that merely lists a few examples. bd2412  T 12:30, 19 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Good point bd2412 . With the same intent, I had first created page only for Vice-Chancellors but later realized that there were other pages with combination of uses and hence performed page move. In any case and as I stated above; whatever the majority decides will be done. Since the subject was open, I thought I should also draw everyone's attention towards similar pages I was involved in and / or had created. At this (and once when this discussion is closed), I request you for your guidance on the remaining pages (what should be done with them).

 * Delete. Sorry, we don't need this, as the Cs and VCs will be linked from the university's page and we have universities in...  articles.  This is just a well=intentioned but unmanageable mess of little prospective use. Le petit fromage (talk) 12:58, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
