Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of university professors at Columbia University

:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Procedural keep. There is no need for an AfD in order to merge an article. Since there is no opposition to a merge, either here or at the article talk page, I see no reason the proposer could not simply be WP:BOLD and carry out the merge without further discussion.

  • Procedural keep The nomination advances an argument for a merge, not a deletion; this is the wrong venue. XOR'easter (talk) 15:51, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

  • Comment. I have left a pointer to this discussion at Talk:List of Columbia University people, as I think should be required as part of the process whenever a merge is proposed in an AfD. To do otherwise would be to set up the possibility of conflicts where the consensus of AfD participants and the consensus of editors of the targeted article contradict each other. I have no opinion on whether it makes more sense to merge this into the larger list, or to split the larger list into smaller ones like this one according to Wikipedia:Summary style, but I agree with XOR'easter that deletion discussions are the wrong way to propose a merge and that outright deletion appears to be the wrong option. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:03, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
