Contested prod. Giving the article a second look, I see that it may be OK so I'm going to be neutral on this one. Asking for community consensus besides my own. [Belinrahs|talktome⁄ ididit] 18:05, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice for recreation, borderline speedy on copyright issues. The deprodder was absolutely right on the notability issues, but the article is a copyvio stitched together from various short pages on the university website. For example, the third-from-last paragraph comes directly from this page ; the fourth-from-last paragraph from this page, and the beginning of the second paragraph from this page . Slightly too complex a copyvio to qualify for speedy deletion, judging from several of past speedy noms, but clearly not acceptable for Wikipedia use. Would need to be rewritten from scratch.

 * Keep as rewritten. Since the school is clearly notable,  I've just rewritten it as a stub with a reference or two. Needs to be expanded (and wikified--I only did the first steps).   It's really quite easy to do this sort of minimal rescue as long as the topic makes it worthwhile, especially when there actually are some usable references already there.

 * Keep per DGG. This is a very important Pharmacy School. I expect there will be links to Jesse Boot, 1st Baron Trent of Boots Chemists fame. -- Bduke    (Discussion)  06:07, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - self-evidently notable. TerriersFan (talk) 02:55, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - I was the original PROD remover (and new page patroller). While the quality of the page was initially poor (and had some copyright issues that have since been addressed), sufficiently large branches of a sufficiently large university have intrinsic notability. If a school goes overboard (e.g. College of Underwater Basket Weaving with 10 students), then it only qualifies for a section in the school's article, but at larger schools the sub-colleges often have independent notability and history separate from that of the school as a whole. &mdash;ShadowRanger (talk 17:16, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. A consensus on the merits of an article can be obtained from a discussion on a talk page. From the details of the nomination I think that this deletion discussion was started inappropriately. The nominator does not think it should be deleted, so I think that this discussion should be closed without further delay. Snowman (talk) 20:06, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - This AfD seems to be miscategorized under "Media and Music". Rlendog (talk) 17:09, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
