I am not aware of specific notability guidelines for academic departments, but this unsourced article does not convince me that this department requires its own article, distinct from the main Stockholm University article. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:11, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge into Stockholm University. I don't think any content in the article makes the case that this department has notability distinct from the University itself or that it meets WP:GNG on its own.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:56, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes is pretty clear that there is no notability unless the department has made a significant contribution to its field. Mostly an indiscriminate list without any standalone notability or anything worth adding to Stockholm University. Kingofaces43 (talk) 04:38, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not even worth redirecting. The basic standard used in various discussion on academic departments seems to essentially be "world famous", which this one is not. There's no reason to even redirect, unless we were to make a redirect for every academic department of every university. I think anyone knows that in looking for information, they should start at the university article.  DGG ( talk ) 21:30, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I endorse 's reasoning on this matter. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  04:23, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge: In this case, leaving a redlink is just bait for it to be recreated. Plus WP:BEFORE pretty much stands for the proposition that where a merge is possible, it's worth doing.  If the department ever gets world-famous, the article history will be preserved.   Montanabw (talk)  20:29, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
