List of universities and colleges in the Maldives

 * – ( View AfD View log )

One notable entry, two non-notable entries and a planned entry. Even if all four were notable, precedent is that lists should have at least five items, so this is one short. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 04:23, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Rename or merge into Education in the Maldives. This is not a valid list, but there is a notable topic here, namely the topic of higher education in the Maldives. Either retitle it as Higher education in the Maldives or merge it into Education in the Maldives. --Orlady (talk) 00:45, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * When one has a hammer, all one sees are nails. As usual, TenPoundHammer sees an article he doesn't like and all he can do is nominate it for deletion. No chance of getting him to follow WP:BEFORE, I guess. He didn't even bother discussing it after I deprodded and added references. There's valid material here, as Orlady states, so deletion is wholly inappropriate and would simply be destructive for no good reason. Keeping it as part of a series on Asian higher education would be best, though a rename or merge would also be reasonable. Fences  &amp;  Windows  03:58, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge to Education in the Maldives. The template on higher education can link there.  —   AjaxSmack   01:14, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
