Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is referenced entirely by sources connected to the subject (Princeton website and a press release). No evidence the Institute has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Hirolovesswords (talk) 03:13, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a merger of the famous Center of International Studies with another major research center, and will be at least as notable as the original. There might be a point in a merge of the material under the new name.  DGG ( talk ) 03:16, 3 April 2015 (UTC).
 * Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Even if it will be notable in the future, there is no evidence it is notable now. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 03:23, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm voting Merge with something else (Princeton University or Center of International Studies), unless or until it gets referenced with adequate coverage in independent, notable WP:RS per WP:GNG. By the way, the nominator should notify User:Wasted Time R, who created the article. Softlavender (talk) 05:54, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * What can I say. Once upon a time WP was a place where stubs could be created and then over time they would get filled in.  No more I guess.  And note there's no place to merge it to: Center of International Studies already has sufficient mention of it and it doesn't belong in the Princeton University article unless a new section is created there to discuss all the institutes and labs operated by the university (such as Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton Environmental Institute, Office of Population Research, Mid-InfraRed Technologies for Health and the Environment ... oops, I guess I shouldn't have mentioned these, they'll all be deleted now too).

 * Delete. When I wrote Center of International Studies, I deliberately named it that instead of making ti part of Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, because it had a place and legacy in the scholarly world that is different and distinct from the current institution and because I didn't want its past to overweight the contents of a current article.  I will gladly sacrifice this stub to preserve the other article, which I may take to GA at some point.  Wasted Time R (talk) 22:28, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * The article has no independent citations, and it is not even listed on Template:Princeton. Merging content from Center of International Studies (in whole or in part) into it would at least give it notable independent WP:RS citations. If Center of International Studies no longer exists, is there any pressing reason for it to remain as a separate article? Softlavender (talk) 11:09, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
