Rowe School of Business

fails WP:ORG there isn't a depth of coverage in secondary sources to support notability. Apart from awards based on MBA user surveys there is little written about the school and two sources remain self-published. Cult of Green (talk) 03:25, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep There are a number of secondary sources on this page. In terms of awards, re-naming etc. Let's work to improve it, not just delete it. There is a wikipedia page on list of business schools in Canada, it would be good to have pages on the schools themselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frederick Potts (talk • contribs) 12:28, 18 August 2014 (UTC) — Frederick Potts (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Keep. The options are to Keep or to Redirect to List of business schools in Canada.  I say keep as this seems significant:  founded in 1936, etc.  And there's more info than is comfortably merged over to List of business schools in Canada.  I don't know what should be the standard exactly for when a business school should have separate article or not, but this one seems significant. -- do  ncr  am  04:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment In the US, many business schools are for-profit corporations that offer a fast-track to a poorly recognized degree. They are often poorly accredited (national accreditation vs. regional) as well. This is clearly NOT such a school, and I want to make sure my American friends realize that before deciding their !vote. Dcs002 (talk) 02:58, 20 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment' the issue is whether the subject meets the standard for notability' that is described at WP:ORG. Specifically there are notes on schools at WP:NSCHOOL which say that the subject must meet WP:ORG or WP:GNG or both. I don't see that the topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Cult of Green (talk) 02:29, 21 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge into it's "parent" Dalhousie University as it's independent notability appears to be rather marginal. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:31, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - The question here is whether this is a department of Dalhouse University, in which case consensus is that these are generally merged away or deleted; or whether it is an independent business school, in which case the piece should be kept according to the same thinking by which we automatically keep high schools. I'm unclear on the matter myself, but suspect that Merger is the correct play. Carrite (talk) 16:06, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge for now Our policy for these Schools varies-- we sometimes do make separate articles for first order divisions of a university like this. We almost always do for medical and law schools, and we do for the more famous business schools. I am not at the moment convinced this in in the class, and it do not really have enough material for a separate article.  DGG ( talk ) 16:15, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
