 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: though the article relies heavily on primary sources it might have been created based on WP guidelines at the time. The period (2005) when this article was created was part of the early history of WP and editorial policies at this time might be lenient than what it is today. But deleting this article after 15 years of its creation based on today's editorial guidelines and principles would mean giving retrospective effect to the current WP guidelines.

 * Comment - today's interpretation of guidelines is all that is applicable. There's so much precedent for that, I couldn't possibly pick a particular discussion to point to. The guidelines haven't changed much, but the community's application has. It's been estimated that as many as a million current articles wouldn't become articles today, and as those articles are noticed, they are processed. We make a product. Notability ensures we only write about things we can make a decent article about. Again, today's interpretation of notability is all that matters. This article would have never passed even the most cursory review, something we do now that we didn't do then. I fail to see the logic in your argument.

 * Selective Merge to Drexel University § Publications, where some content already exists. In my view, the "Current staff" section of this artilcle would not require merging. North America1000 15:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  D My Son  06:23, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nom (optional "Selective Merge"). Lacks significant coverage in independent sources to advance notability for a stand alone article.
 * Redirect to Drexel University, does not have the coverage to pass GNG, but the section on the university page is a good redirect target. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:08, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect - to Drexel University. Not seeing much of anything worth merging. John from Idegon (talk) 23:17, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
