Thai university ranking

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, Only contains lists of university ranks. KGirlTrucker81huh? what I'm been doing 15:18, 18 September 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Nothing like a dictionary entry. Lists of university ranks are encyclopedic, see category:University and college rankings Thincat (talk) 08:07, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a directory. Article is simply an aggregation information found online on Thai universities. What does this tell us about Thai universities and about university ranking in general?
 * Comment That is a category page, not an article. It was automatically-created to list pages related to universities/university ranks because the individual pages were tagged with that category. It's part of how Wikipedia works. It simply lists the articles of that category, and is fine. However, this article is a list of every university rank, which goes against WP:NOTDIRECTORY as it doesn't add extra to our understanding of anything related to universities or university rankings, is just information that was aggregated and pasted from various sites online, and is frankly a waste of Wikipedia server space.

 * Delete per nom. This seems to be just a list of international rankings filtered to show only Thai universities. If it had been about dedicated national rankings by reputable organisations I might consider otherwise. --Paul_012 (talk) 19:24, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

 * delete as per WP:NOTDIR. As paul says above. Simply filtering international rankings is hardly encyclopedic for an article. LibStar (talk) 17:13, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
