List of plant science research institutions
This is a list of plant science departments. I see two problems with this: there are no clear criteria for inclusion (the John Innes Centre is well known, the one at Reading is just a random university department), and plant biology is just another subject studied at universities round the globe. I don't really see the point of having n Lists of Departments of $SUBJECT in Wikipedia. Pilatus 10:29, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I partly agree. But I don't think this is a reason for deletion, as there exist numerous other lists with more or less random contents.Please see the talk page. bjelleklang 10:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, refine criteria as necessary. Kappa 12:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There won't be anything left except maybe John Innes and Cornell. Pilatus 12:23, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Unless a list's quality and positive contributions are too obvious for words, there's a burden of proof on it required to earn a place here that this one just hasn't met. The Literate Engineer 03:58, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. I really don't see how this isn't turning into a list of colleges that teach botany (ie all of them). -R. fiend 18:52, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
