Wikipedia is not a directory or catalogue. Indiscriminate collection of information better befitting a university prospectus than an encyclopedia. Do not recommend merger as information is fundamentally unencyclopedic and borderline advertising. Madcoverboy (talk) 16:55, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'm not opposed to the idea of this article per se, but don't see the need for it. If you strip away the lead and the minutiae, it would boil down to a few lines that could easily be folded into the main MICA article. (Here is an example of minutia: "Hoffberger studios are located on the 4th floor of the Studio Center, more commonly known as the Bank Building. Prior to summer of 2006, Hoffberger studios were located on the 3rd floor of the Fox Building") Strikehold (talk) 17:22, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not a free web hosting site. This is all stuff that at least should be on the school's website.  No need to repeat it here, and we also run the risk of it going out of date should the programs change.  Better to just reference the school's offical website from the article about the school.  (Lots of these in AFD right now, expect lots of cut-n-paste responses from me).--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
