School and university in literature

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

An example of indiscriminate collection. We do have an article Campus novel, which does have a list of "novel whose main action is set in and around the campus of a university". A list beyond that is illegitimate, per WP:TRIVIA - Altenmann >talk 19:03, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete Laughably broad and vague, Campus novel (whose list is also not great) is more than adequate to cover this. A book being set at a school is so generic a comprehensive list would be indiscriminate here. Way too many redlinks but also missing plenty of those with articles (Harry Potter?) and this provides nothing Category:Novels set in schools, etc. does not.
 * Delete: I don't see the need for any type of lit that has a post-secondary school to be enumerated here. There is no critical discussion on having such an institution on the stories. Oaktree b (talk) 20:50, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete Feel like the topic is broad and even fails notability. Can also cause confusion and isn't anything that is relevant to be included on Wikipedia. Noorullah (talk) 02:04, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - Another broad list that doesn't have a good reason to be here. As mentioned above there are better options. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 02:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsurprisingly, this article is vintage 2002. This kind of list ended up as categories or TV Tropes articles a decade ago. -- asilvering (talk) 06:19, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
