A single user is attempting to create or duplicate a university webpage on wikipedia. As Wikipedia is not a free host or webspace provider, this page has no business being in Wikipedia. The small amount of actual content here is barely worth including in a consolidated STUT article. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 07:12, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment As I find more of these pages, I'll direct their AFD votes here to be considered en masse. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 07:18, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Probably also copyvio? Ben Aveling 08:06, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Southern Taiwan University of Technology is barely more than a stub. Could some of the content from all of these be used to expand that article? -- Saberwyn - The Zoids Expansion Project 08:31, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Possibly some, but not the vast majority of it - it's either copyvio or unencyclopedic. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 08:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete per above. Werdna648^T/_C\^@ 09:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rationalise. As a matter of countering systemic bias, I would allow this institution as much space on Wikipedia as, say, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As to presentation, I would say the MIT article is too long and therefore STUT is allowed more than one article. As to copyvio's, see this message from the dean which makes it clear that they cannot be deleted as crude copyvio's - though re-writes for style-violation are probably needed. From a quick glance I would say most of the articles are more or less OK except Campus environment which should be speedily deletd. -- RHaworth 09:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
  • That argument doesn't appear to be relevant, given that Southern Taiwan University Of Technology is not up for deletion here, and that none of History of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Campus environment of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Multimedia and Entertainment Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Visual Communication, Massachusetts Institute of Technology College of Digital Design exist.

  • Agree withi Uncle G that picking the MIT article as a baseline for comparison seems irrelevant because it doesn't have the equivalent questionable ancillary articles. Secondly, why MIT and why not any of the other thousands of college or university articles? The fact that they're both "technology" schools is not a sufficient basis.

    • I am a bit surprised at the above response. All I was saying was: Is this university entitled to an article? A - undoubtedly yes. How big is the article allowed to be? A - probably big enough to justify its being split into more than one article. Surely no one disagrees with that. But the present mess is of course unacceptable and needs heavy tidying. -- RHaworth 20:09, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge whatever elements are verifiable and encylopedic into [[Southern Taiwan University of Technology, which has been tagged for clean-up, then Delete. Crunch 12:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge them into Southern Taiwan University of Technology per Crunch. Most of it is written in the first person "We will continue to recruit.." "Our postgraduate degree" so its obviously been copied from their site and so most of it should be deleted -- Astrokey44|talk 13:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Eusebeus 15:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: has anybody verified that the dean is who he says he is? Merge any non-copyvios into the STUT article, delete all the rest. It is the responsibility of poster to prove an article is not a copyvio, not that of the people who call shenanigans. User:Zoe|^(talk) 00:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge any worthwhile information from the articles into Southern Taiwan University of Technology. --Revolución (talk) 01:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
