Wayne State University Department of Physics and Astronomy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Individual department in a good quality research university .The department is not particular notable among physics departments, nor is it world-famous. Normally, we restrict articles on individual departments to that. I note that most of the 3rd party references are to press releases & the like -- except for the most famous departments, this will usually be the case, which is why they almost always fail notability

There is nothing here that is not covered in the departments web site. and almost everything about the academic program will be of interest only to students there or prospective students.

The copyvio problems affect only material that wouldn't be relevant anyway  DGG ( talk ) 16:20, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge to College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Wayne State University. No sign of more-than-average notability for a department. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:26, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
