 * Delete as nn; I don't see anything worth merging, but if so then merge anything of value and rd to University of Iceland. JJL (talk) 01:46, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge Academic departments and similar teaching programs need to have particularly good evidence of notability, and this has none at all. My own concept of the level of notability needed is very close to "famous". As there is no one unit of the university to merge it into, it will need to go in the main article for the university.

 * I should say that the above is the view I have been taking, and I believe the Accepted view. I am wondering--just wondering-- if it might not be more reasonable to actually permit & encourage pages on all departments of major universities at least--probably as combination articles. The information is as stable as most topics here, and the material is not without general interest, at least to those who think the academic world important. DGG (talk) 02:49, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Would that do more than mirror the school's web site? What additional insight could WP add about Oberlin College's Political Science dept., for example? JJL (talk) 03:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete and merge information as appropriate into two existing articles, University of Iceland and Brynhildur Davidsdottir. The second article has recently been created by the creator of this article, and this is the professor who is the director of this project.  In general, special academic programs attract money and attention to the same extent the director(s) of the program can, and borrow from each other's notability, so it makes sense to me to be weighing notability for both in the same article.  I'm also open to DGG's idea; if there's ever a separate article on the relevant department at this university, that would also be a logical target for a merge of some of the information. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 16:25, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
