Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Deans of Engineering at NYU


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   merge to Polytechnic Institute of New York University. I am moving the article to Presidents of the Polytechnic Institute of New York University without a redirect. It can be merged into the Polytechnic Institute of New York University article from there. This avoids leaving behind a confusing redirect from List of Deans of Engineering at NYU, which wouldn't have anything to do with the page it redirected to. This is a slightly WP:IAR close, but I think it is the best way to address the points raised in the debate. If anyone has any questions about it, please ask me on my talk page. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 05:37, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

List of Deans of Engineering at NYU

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

The list of deans presented here is entirely empty, because the school won't be established until 2013, when it becomes part of NYU. In any case such a list probably isn't notable; I don't think we have any list articles for faculty deans for any other university.

Contrary to the article and section titles, the list gives presidents of the school when it existed as an independent university, under five different names. However, the list is very short, and if it is to be kept at all could easily be placed in the main article at Polytechnic Institute of New York University.

 * Merge this to Polytechnic Institute of New York University. Per Psychonaut.  A list of the presidents of this formerly independent institution is an appropriate part of that article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:05, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, —Tom Morris (talk) 07:36, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge, per Arxiloxos. That's the clear solution in my view. — Zujine |talk 07:39, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. If the content is to be merged, the old article should still be deleted rather than be made into a redirect, because the article title does not accurately describe the content. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:44, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect it to Polytechnic Institute of New York University? --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:33, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there any point in maintaining a list of Deans of Engineering at NYU there? The article doesn't contain a list of deans of any other faculty at NYU.  As I mentioned in the nomination, I don't think we have any lists of deans for any university. —Psychonaut (talk) 10:35, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete or fix this one just is confusing to me. I see the title, I see the content... they do not appear to match.  Without explanation, I'm left confused.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:36, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
