Uathesis

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A LaTeX class (in other words a stylesheet) for a specific university is not notable. SJK (talk) 11:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per WP:CSD. So tagged. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge into University of Auckland. This article does not fit into the CSD criteria, the question is whether it is notable, content is certainly useful if merged into University of Auckland--Zven (talk) 06:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Zven, I understand that as the author of this page you have put quite a lot of work into it, and I think a lot of people at University of Auckland would appreciate it. However, the point is that this stuff is way too specific to University of Auckland's internal operations to go anywhere on Wikipedia, even merged into the University of Auckland article -- an article on a University should have information which someone outside the University is likely to find significant, not something like this which is unlikely to be useful to anyone outside the University. Auckland uni isn't notable for having a LaTeX class file for its thesis' -- heaps of other institutions around the world have done the exact same thing, and there's no evidence that its class file is any some way a vast improvement on other institutions -- its just to help comply with its "house style", as other institutions' are to fit there's. Maybe you could find somewhere else on the Internet for this to live? --SJK (talk) 07:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply This article was created by me when I was first learning to use Wikipedia. I understand your comments that it is not particularly notable. However I have to disagree with not even merging any of the content into another appropriate article associated with the University of auckland. I suggest that some content from at least the first paragraph (and external links) can be moved to an appropriate article in Category:University of Auckland, for example University of Auckland, Faculty of Engineering. The Uathesis class was written by someone in the faculty of engineering and is probably heavily used there. --Zven (talk) 07:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
