UC Riverside College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences
non-noteable, not encyclopedic ElKevbo 15:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom--Jusjih 16:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep and cleanup A component of one of the biggest state university systems is certainly notable. Granted, a list of departments and goals is hardly encyclopedic, but there is enough out there to clean up the article with reliable, verifiable sources. SliceNYC 16:31, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to UC Riverside. I don't see the justification for having its own article, but being part of main UC Riverside article is fine Bwithh 17:31, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I note that this merger has been proposed and was rejected largely for lack of discussion (I think only three editors participated in the discussion with one voting for merger and the other two, one being myself, opting not to merge and instead wanting to see this article deleted). --ElKevbo 18:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep and Cleanup or Merge I think that a college, as part of an university, is notable. This is, after all, the largest school at a well known state University.-- danntm T C 20:16, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete--Amerique 22:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC) As is, the article is only a list of departments, which adds nothing to information which can be easily found on UCR's own website. While at some point a genuine article could be written about UCR CHASS, I see no compeling reason to keep this list around for the time being.
 * Comment Remember the official policy of WP:DEL. If an article needs improvement, it's not necessarily a reason to delete, but rather to clean up. Since you've been involved in the UCR article and have good knowledge of the institution, perhaps you could spearhead the editing. SliceNYC 00:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Reply I would, but I'm kind of busy with academics right now... I don't forsee being able to write an article on UCR CHASS in the immediate future. I don't object in principle to an article on CHASS, but I don't think the current itteration provides an adequate starting point. However, as deleting the article might send an inappropriate signal that the subject is outlawed for future WP articles, and as the information provided would probably be replicated in some fashion in a future article anyway, I'll reluctantly support keeping it. I should be able to find some time to work on it some time before 2 weeks from now. Best,--Amerique 01:09, 8 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand. The topic is notable, but the article isn't showing it. Dekimasu 10:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per SliceNYC and expand to better demonstrate actual notability. Yamaguchi先生 23:37, 9 October 2006
 * Merge to UC Riverside. (If the result here is merge, it seems to me to be adequate.  For that matter, if the result were "Keep", but a large number of people said "merge", the article might still be merged, depending on the exact phrasing of the closing admin's close.)  I don't see how appropriate expansion is possible. &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 23:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per SliceNYC, Yamaguchi, etc. --Myles Long 14:19, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, or Merge to UC Riverside. There's plenty of precedence to support that. This is nothing but a boring list of Faculties/departments which exist in any given University, and this is but a mere subset of said establishment. Ohconfucius 10:22, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
