 * Procedural keep If merging is an acceptable solution, then this shouldn't be at AfD. (I'd say this page has as much reason to exist as those on the other colleges at Kent &mdash; Eliot, Rutherford, Keynes, Darwin and Woolf. Perhaps they should all be merged to create Colleges of the University of Kent, since they're all fairly short, and the Colleges section of the main university article is longish.)

 * Comment As far as I'm aware, Kent is a collegiate university, meaning that Turing College isn't simply a halls of residence. Describing it as such would be erroneous because students go to colleges for their classes etc. st  170  e  21:21, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with both the two comments above. All the Kent Colleges should be moved into a single article Colleges of the University of Kent as has occurred for a number of other universities. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  00:54, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * On further reflection I am coming down to Keep. The other two collegiate universities in UK of the same era as Kent - Lancaster and York - have articles for all of their colleges. The other Colleges of Kent have longer articles. This article should be expanded and kept. We need to keep some consistency for similar situations. The other College articles have been here for some time. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  08:24, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Procedural keep This is a sub-topic of Kent University, and I don't see an argument that DEL8 overcomes ATD, so should not be at AfD.  As per WP:Deletion policy, content discussions belong on the talk page of articles.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:26, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Procedural keep I completely agree with Bduke  as the University of Kent is  semi-collegiate university, hence I created the page as other Colleges have their pages on Wikipedia. Also, college masters manage these colleges where Halls of Residences do not have this role as well as administrative offices. I do apologise if I have not followed any style of posting as I am new to this wikipedia edition. Cstheguy (talk) 17:02, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
