List of universities in the Faroe Islands

 * – ( View AfD View log )

It seems that there is only one university on the islands, so this article just seems unnecessary. Yaksar (let's chat) 22:49, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. It appears to me that this "list" is a sublist of Template:List of universities in Europe, and deleting it would damage the larger list. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:32, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge to List of universities in Denmark. Listed as a dependency of Denmark, the list is necessary for completeness, as Arxiloxos notes; on the other hand, it's a little silly to have a single-entry list, as Yaksar notes.
 * Delete. I cannot see how it would "damage" the larger list. StAnselm (talk) 01:47, 29 October 2011 (UTC) In light of the other comments, my vote is redirect to University of the Faroe Islands. StAnselm (talk) 10:00, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Because the template list is supposed to list all universities in Europe (that have articles, at least) and would no longer do so if the article is simply deleted. Hence my suggestion to merge this university listing to the Denmark "parent" list. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 04:02, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Because it would render the larger list incomplete (and I apologize for not making that clearer in my first comment). I note that in response to a prod, another one-school sublist in this group, List of universities in Andorra, was redirected to Universitat d'Andorra.  Maybe the same solution would apply here, redirecting to University of the Faroe Islands.  I wouldn't have any substantial objection to that solution, although I would note that it might leave things somewhat ambiguous if someone is trying to determine whether there is, in fact, more than one school in Andorra or the Faroes. --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:07, 29 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to the Danish article and fix the double-redirect it creates in the template.  Lugnuts  (talk) 09:54, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to University of the Faroe Islands on the analogy of what happened with List of universities in Andorra as per Arxiloxos, since the article has no content except naming that one institution. That leaves open the possibility of recreating the list if a second tertiary institution is established in the Faroes. But I am not in favour of redirecting to List of universities in Denmark; the Faroes have home rule and the University is explicitly Faroese (instruction is in Faroese, a large part of its raison d'être is preserving and teaching Faroese cultural heritage).
