Six private universities in South Korea

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No objective criteria for including universities in page, nor is it written as a list article. Included source does not mention page title and possible made-up topic (WP:NOT). Content is written in biased manner, and may not be salvageable because of possible non-notability of page title. Similar concerns hold for Template:Six private universities in South Korea.

 * Delete; no real evidence that these 6 have any meaningful, objective reason to be stuck together into an article. (|--  UlT i MuS  01:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename List of private universities in South Korea. --דניאל - Danielrocks123 contribs 01:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Choosing six universities for a list that is based on a possible changing criterion, or list membership does not make encyclopedic sense. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 01:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by that? --דניאל - Danielrocks123 contribs 01:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename per Danielr. Big  top  01:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. The basis for selection appears to be the 2006 JoongAng university evaluation, which appears to be similar to the rankings of U.S. universities by U.S. News and World Report magazine or of Canadian universities by Maclean's magazine. In other words, it is not the author's original research. The term "Ivy League" for some of the most prestigious U.S. universities comes from their football league, which is named the ivy League. --Eastmain 01:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem is not that it's original research but rather that it may be a made-up topic. Why six in particular?  Are the six universities often mentioned as a single group?  (Not in my experience, though reliable sources showing me wrong would be welcome.)  At least "Ivy League" is a widely used term. YooChung 01:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The content of this page is not a list of private universities but rather a description of a very limited selection of private universities ranked highly by the creator (based on sources). It was also renamed from a page that actually included a public university.  I think it's better to start List of private universities in South Korea from scratch rather than renaming it from this page, which is woefully inadequate as a list article.

 * Delete Per YouChung. Autocracy 02:07, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't see the use of this page. Individual pages for the universities, sure - but what's the rationale for gathering a flexible six?  Philippe Beaudette 05:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment South Korean secondary school curriculum is divided into two specialized course. one is Humanities/Social Science course, and the other is Natural Science course. It is widely known that top six universities in terms of each course are Se-Yon-ko-Se-Sung-Han(acronym for Seoul National, Yonsei, Korea, Sogang, Sungkyunkwan, and Hanyang.) for Humanities/Social Science course, and Se-Ka-Po-Yon-ko-Han(acronym for Seoul National, KAIST, POSTECH, Yonsei, Korea, and Hanyang.)for Natural Science course. I would like to suggest people to try a couple of Korean search engine for this notion and you will find it's prevalent among Internet users and secondary school students.User:Arthurhahn 2:22 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - The creator or editors of the article should provide sourcing, then, that there is something in particular about these six. For example, in the article there is the unattributed comment, "these six private universities are claimed to be most famous private universities in Korea in terms of academics and reputation..."  This needs to be verified by a reliable source.  ◄  Zahakiel  ►  05:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete: Original research on the page with the claim that it is the most famous six, etc. Also has no basis for selection or criteria. Delete per nom.  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 05:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * delete Every university has, as it ought, an individual article. If they were part of a formal organization  or if the were commonly referred to in sources by a particular name,, then there would be reason for an article. If Arthurhahn can find such a name (or names) then it might justify an article under such a name. Is there one in the Korean WP?DGG 05:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - as a poorly-named disambiguation page that seems to have arbitrarily chosen 6 schools and hard-coded itself to that number via the title. Even if a list of notable private universities in South Korea were made, it would have a very different format from this article as it currently stands.  The articles of the individual schools already have the relevant data.  No need to merge or rename.  ◄  Zahakiel  ►  05:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete what makes them so unique and what distinguishes them from other private universities is not indicated in the article. Plus, it is a rather arbitrary and made-up name for the group of universities. I doubt that this is what they are commonly referred to by people and the media. -  An as   Talk? 10:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - seems like original synthesis of a kind, no objective selection criteria given that won't change frequently. Moreschi Request a recording? 11:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Strangely-entitled article that would do best to be deleted. The subject probably need covering, but the current approach dosn't look like it will form a good article and deletion would force the editors to take a better approach to the subject; as mentioned before, individual pages perhaps a better idea?
 * Delete Perfect example of why we need WP:SCHOOL sorting out.  Eliminator JR  Talk  20:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with nominator, it does fail WP:NOT. Aquasplash 21:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Should been in a category and also included in the South Korea article, if it's not already done.--JForget 22:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Information could be included in articles of separate universities. Frickeg 01:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The author has created a new page SPK-YKH Universities with essentially the same information. I did not add that page to this AfD, but I think that it might be useful to discuss whether that page should exist as well. --דניאל - Danielrocks123 contribs 23:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
