List of university economics departments
I am sorry, as it seems that the author has put quite a bit of work into this, but a Wikipedia article should not be a collection of external links or a directory. And as every university in the world has an economics department, this list would actually end up as a list of unversities, and we already have that. Uppland 17:46, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; while I'm sure it took a fair bit of work to assemble, there doesn't seem anything encyclopedic about this list. Agree with Uppland. &mdash; RJH 18:17, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Kind of a shame, since it's probably useful information, but lists of external links are not encyclopedic. And it was created all at once, which suggests copyvio, not independent assemblage. --Tysto 19:16, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nah, I doubt it's a copyvio. (Unless you can prove he copied it from another source of course. Also, it's POV towards the US and Canada. But all that doesn't matter. Wikipedia isn't a list of external links. - Mgm|(talk) 21:44, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, per Uppland - a much shorter and more manageable list would note Universities without any economics department. By the way, even if directly copied from somewhere else, it can't be a copyvio if it's just a list of locations, per ''Feist v. Rural. -- BD2412 talk 00:19, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC)
 * Delete unmaintanable list. -Splash 00:29, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: maybe userfy? It'd be a shame for the author to lose all that effort. ~Mbsp
 * Keep or Userfy. Useful list. Klonimus 19:11, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, hard to maintain, fuzzy classification, no idea what how could be useful for Wikipedia reader. Pavel Vozenilek 01:48, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy so the author doesn't lose his work - but this is something that you can get off of Yahoo! doing a search under their schools category, so delete is also a possibility--eleuthero 29 June 2005 05:45 (UTC)
