:{{la|Degree programs at Duke University}} ([{{fullurl:Degree programs at Duke University|wpReason={{urlencode: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Degree programs at Duke University}}&action=delete}} delete]) – (View AfD)(View log)

With the exception of a wee bit of WP:SYN, no secondary references for what is essentially part of an advertising brochure. Anything encyclopedic here can costlessly be in the Duke University article. THF (talk) 03:12, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete directory, thoroughly unencyclopedic. JJL (talk) 03:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

:* I have started a discussion on the parent article talk page. Baileypalblue (talk) 06:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

:*This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:15, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

::The first AFD was closed as a merge but I think that closure was wrong. The second was not closed as merge but redirect. With that said, I agree that we should try a consistent approach to these types of articles and it seems that WP:UNI would be a good place to begin such a discussion. There must be flexibility in how we approach these articles but some more intentional consistency is also needed. --ElKevbo (talk) 15:17, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

:::I agree discussion at WP:UNI could be useful, so I've started a new section at their talk page here. However, I'm not convinced that a uniform response is necessary; the decision on whether or not to merge will depend on the quality of both the main article and the sub-article proposed for deletion. Sometimes the material under consideration will fit quite nicely into the parent article, sometimes it will disrupt or overbalance it. This is an editorial decision usually best dealt with at the talk page of the parent article rather than at AfD. Baileypalblue (talk) 20:03, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Merge per Bluedog423's rationale. --Notyourbroom (talk) 18:32, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - This is not a catalog. KnightLago (talk) 20:26, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete Seems like an airtight case of WP:NOT. Per Bluedog423's concern, I agree that all such articles should be dealt with in exactly the same fashion: deleted. Madcoverboy (talk) 20:54, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - just a indiscriminate list of programs. Nothing notable about "Duke degree programs" as a topic. The individual schools, yes. This list, no. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwilkinsen (talk • contribs) 21:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete and set strong precedent for similar articles. Indiscriminate list. Timrollpickering (talk) 02:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
