List of institutions granting degrees in cognitive science
Seems like listcruft to me, somewhat barred per WP:NOT (though I could see where this might be useful). Aren't there books on such topics? The summary indicates it was prodded, which the creator didn't understand, so I explained it to him, but he deleted that as "unuseful". Go figure. Chaser T 08:11, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This is listcruft. All the external links don't exactly help it looking like advertising. If kept they should definatly be changed to internal ones. I don't believe we have lists like these for other subjects Ydam 10:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom and Ydam Bwithh 12:08, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think there are only a small number of cogsci programs and hard to find such a list; useful. -999 (Talk) 16:01, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * ????? Small number? But CogSci is not a minority subject or obscure field! Its pretty mainstream. This is a very incomplete list. Bwithh 18:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Is it listcruft? A little. But now that it's been thoroughly cleaned up and the links are now intrawiki links, it isn't advertisement-y. It's also a list that is not an indiscriminate list of info, and it's definitely not a list that could be infinite. It also, unlike most lists, actually provides a smidgen of useful information. -- Kicking222 17:16, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This list has the potential to be very helpful, but as it stands right now it is a complete mess. I suggest someone merge this with a cognitive psychology list. Perhaps breaking it up into degree levels. Irongargoyle 20:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The consensus seems to be evolving to keep it in some form (I don't want to withdraw, as these are helpful comments). Might it be better as a category?--Chaser T 20:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, no. Let's say, for some reason, somebody was searching WP for cognitive science degrees. They wouldn't go to a college's page, scroll to the bottom, and happen to see that a college grants said degree. More likely, somebody would read the cognitive science page and notice the "see also" link. -- Kicking222 20:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep I like listcruft--useful listcruft. Imagine a student looking to find a school with his desired major searching for "Cognitive Science", then scrolling down to the "See also" section, and clicking on this article.  Very useful.  Very keep.  AdamBiswanger1 04:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
