VCU expansion

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is just an addendum to an general university article. This article strikes me as a list to promote VCU, which seems like it's content forking. Nominating for deletion on the grounds of WP:NOTPROMOTION and WP:CFORK. Quidster4040 (talk) 23:20, 19 March 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to Virginia Commonwealth University p  b  p  23:35, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Clean up and Merge to Virginia Commonwealth University, College campuses expand sometimes on a yearly basis. I drive past a college campus on my way to work and they have been doing different construction projects for a few years now. The expansion does not warrant a stand-alone article, though it would be worth noting major construction projects, like any new or upgrades of athletic facilities, new dorms, or new class buildings, in the school page.-- Rockchalk 717 05:16, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge as Pbp89 suggests. Delete as a second choice. Blythwood (talk) 11:56, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as promotionalism and spam that we wouldn't want in the main article. This is something you would hand to a donor who you want to name a building, and the minutia in it in terms of expansion would overwhelm the main article, even if done selectively. The fact that a university campus is growing is not out of the norm-- thats what they do to stay relevant and to get donors to give money. If the expansion is really notable it can be covered with 1-2 sentences that are referenced in the main article. No need for a merge. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:17, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
