List of Colleges with online degree programs

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not encyclopedic material, merely a listing of colleges. Dmol (talk) 05:40, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes it's definitely a WP:LIST, I think the question is whether its criterion for inclusion is noteworthy. Rules99 (talk) 10:40, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment I've never seen such a long list full of notable items with so few wikilinks. I'm amazed. These AfD'd lists are usually populated by redlinks. Wow. Anyway, ummmmm.... delete and "merge" content into a category. SMSpivey (talk) 04:44, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as simply a list of colleges. I thought (almost) all colleges had online degree programs? Tavix (talk) 05:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - not really relevant, and as a Brit I'm insulted by the two British universities listed as being "foreign" when Wikipedia is a global website. The UK universities are no more "foreign" than the American ones. But in any case, I still think it's an irrelevant list. Tris2000 (talk) 12:06, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Good example of listcruft, sorting by irrelevant data. Thanks to Tavix for a good point; I might have supported a change-to-category otherwise.  By the way, the "foreign" has an understandable reason: the data are taken directly from a US publication (perhaps U.S. News & World Report?); not to say that this is good :-) Nyttend (talk) 14:38, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
