The result was merge. Lists are not inherently invalid — however, this was not being used as a properly formatted list, but as a template that was being transcluded back into the article. If you want a list, create a real list. Bearcat (talk) 01:43, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

List of University of Alberta current faculty

I can see no reason for this page to exist. It is a repeat of information already given in the university's article (see University of Alberta. It might be a suitable basis for a category, but that already exists (Category:University of Alberta faculty) Emeraude (talk) 16:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No point in merging, if this is already there. This is a list of notable current faculty, rather than a list of all faculty, so it can remain a section in the article. Mandsford (talk) 19:07, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * comment' Normally a short list of this nature would be merged, and expanded into "List of U. of X people" if it got larger, and then eventually ,perhaps into separate ones for faculty and alumni. DGG (talk) 20:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. We have many lists of people associated with different universities here; in all cases, they should be lists of notable people rather than just everyone who fits. I would support a rename or merge to List of University of Alberta people for consistency with many of the other such lists. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment this is a template, and as such, is in the wrong space. It is also an improper template, since templates are not articles. Wikipedia is not a directory, this should be merged into the main article, instead of transcluded. If there's a WikiAlmanac it should go there, as this is a time-dependant list. 132.205.44.5 (talk) 19:52, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is a directory listing -- Whpq (talk) 20:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment there are two similar context-less lists... List of University of Alberta past faculty and List of University of Alberta alumni 132.205.44.5 (talk) 22:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
