The result was delete. Mr Fruitsmaak, you are welcome to do the explaining you suggested. DGG, it's allowed (per WP:CSD e contrario) to recreate this in an encyclopedic fashion, with reliable independent sources attesting to the department's notability. As pointed out by Pan Dan, a redirect would be of questionable value. Sandstein 21:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Systems Engineering Department, KFUPM, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia


I gather that most university departments are not notable enough to have their own articles, and nothing indicates that this one is an exception. Spammy besides. Speedied as copyvio, recreated with some paraphrasing, prodded and deprodded. Pan Dan 17:04, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, and explain to creator.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 17:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a non-notable university department - the link on the university web directory ought to be enough; no encyclopedic value. (aeropagitica) 21:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I expected to vote otherwise on the basis of the article until I saw the web page. This is a very notable university, the most important research university in its country, and this is a notable department, based on size and programs. But it needs to be written up as it deserves. keep, offer advice, and review in 3 months. DGG 23:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals. Nothing worth merging. TerriersFan 21:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it worth redirecting? I can't imagine anyone typing that mouthful in, even if they are looking for an article on the department.  Pan Dan 22:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
