Top universities in Central Europe
American-influenced rankingcruft, and an inherently subjective list and title. These are all good universities, as far as I know, but so are several others which could be included, depending on exactly how Central Europe is to be defined. We could include the University of Vienna and several other Austrian universities, if Austria is included, and a couple of dozen German and Swiss universities, if we chose to include those countries.

 * Delete. Unless sources are included this is original research, which doesn't belong here. 129.215.195.81 Pilatus 17:14, 27 August 2005 (UTC).
 * The source appears to be found in the "References" section of the article. Christopher Parham (talk) 18:15, 2005 August 27 (UTC)
 * Abstain. One sees that source often quoted. Pilatus 18:22, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to College and university rankings. I wouldn't oppose an article on the whole study that generated this list. But this is pure source material, broken away from its context. Christopher Parham (talk) 18:24, 2005 August 27 (UTC)
 * Redirect, as per Christopher Parham. This type of information is best presented in context. Sliggy 19:26, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with Uppland. Do not redirect. I don't see the point of the lemma at all; it makes as much sense as Top universities in mediterranean countries, Top universities in slavic countries, or largest cities east of the Mississippi. -- Austrian 20:34, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless less you want articles named Moderately-Priced Private Daycares in Western Oregon.  Paul Klenk 21:54, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * delete pure POV. --TimPope 19:13, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Like this, the page is useless. It should be enough to have a link to the Jiao Tong ranking at College and university rankings, or maybe a page on that ranking. But it makes no sense to select just a few universities from it. Martg76 22:50, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, POV listcruft, schoolcruft, and waste of spacecruft.Gateman1997 17:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no need to redirect this to College and university rankings. Visitors who want to know about rankings will find that page anyway. BTW, in my opinion the often-quoted source list is complete bogus. --Netvor 07:46, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I like reading all of the pointless lists that people generate instead of writing useful stuff.  Plus,  All of these universities return results from Google which is the primary delete/keep test. 212.101.64.4 07:47, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inherently POV. Cmadler 13:27, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
