Very weak delete: consists of list of libraries in the UW system with addresses, phone numbers, contact emails, and summaries of collections. Pictures are included for most, and pics appear to be GFDL-compliant. I'm willing to withdraw this if there's a quick clear consensus that it should be kept.

Merge with University of Washington Libraries. I see no reason to have a bullet list in the main article and then a separate two-three sentences with picture in the separate article. I would replace the bullet list in the main article with the contents of the Libraries and Units page.Racepacket 16:01, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Purge and merge - this verges on a directory, which is one of the things we ain't. Afer merger, maybe keep the most skeletal information, but lose the phone numbers, etc.--Orange Mike 16:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

• Merge a little. All should "Bow down to Washington" (our school song), but let's not go overboard. Most of the descriptions are stunningly obvious or trivial - the architecture and urban planning library contains material on...architecture and urban planning. D'oh!

• Merge and perhaps keep some of the distinctive material, and a list of the divisions, which shows the extent of the system-- but most of this is material that belongs and no doubt is on the library web site. DGG (talk) 00:34, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with the main article. It looks suspiciously like a pamphlet created by the University of Washington Library System. jonathon 18:37, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
