Delete or Merge. Pages for separate departments of universities should be created only when the department is notable. I don't see how this small department (7 faculty) is notable. I might be worthwhile to merge. Muhandes (talk) 07:57, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

 * KeepThis is Dr. Arun P. Sikarwar, who had created this wiki article. I am sorry to feel that Wiki has put the level of "Deletion" to this article. I strongly believe that the wiki article should remain there and if necessary, then I can keep only most important things and can delete less important items. The School of Biotechnology, Banaras Hindu University is renowned for MSc Biotechnology in India and deserve to be on Wiki.I hope the article will survive at Wiki.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arunlovy (talk • contribs) 12:55, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: Banaras Hindu University is renowned for MSc Biotechnology in India - it might be, it probably is the best. But Wikipedia is not a place to offer advice to people aiming to pursue biotech as a career. &mdash;  Fιnεmαnn  (talk) 17:28, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete and Merge From what I could find from GScholar the biotech department of BHU has not produced any research that is significantly notable. The article could be merged with the article about the university though. &mdash;  Fιnεmαnn  (talk) 20:41, 26 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep This is a renowned institution with enough independent coverage. Shyamsunder (talk) 22:42, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment BHU is a renowned institution with independent coverage. That applies to the biotech department too. But as the nom pointed out, unless the department has done enough work to be notable for itself, I don't think its appropriate for it to have an article. See for yourself how many biotech departments of Ivy League universities have articles. Also, your argument is very weak as you simply assert that it is notable without giving any proper reasons. &mdash;  Fιnεmαnn  (talk) 00:53, 27 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge to the university article to the extent it is sourced. No indication of independent notability.  Sandstein   05:21, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
