I redirected it to the parent institution; When I first came across this I redirected it to the parent instition; this has been undone twice, so seeking a broader consensus. Obviously the redirect is my favoured solution. TheLongTone (talk) 15:50, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Like many old institutions in Thailand, there doesn't appear to be much in the way of web coverage. I did find quite a bit of TV documentaries and news programmes on YouTube covering the subject's operations, museum and research, though. Not all of it is necessarily in-depth, but I'll provide descriptions for each clip. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:49, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- An episode of an educational web series by Dek-D.com focusing on studies and student life[1]
- An episode of the history TV documentary programme Jod Mai Hed Krungsri covering its origins and history[2]
- Two segments of an episode of the TV documentary programme Kob Nok Kala covering its prosthetic services[3][4]
- An episode of the TV documentary programme Nueng Nai Phra Ratchadamri covering its stem cell reseearch[5]
- An episode of the TV documentary programme Krajok Hok Dan covering its museum and orthodontic services[6]
- News scoops on NBT covering its operations (launch of an elderly dental clinic and a public exhibition event)[7][8]
- A news scoop on Spring News covering its museum[9]
- A PR news scoop on TNN covering its offering of free services[10]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: While Paul's detail is not a specific objection, I do think a participant's provision of at least potential sources and only the nomination !vote warrants a relist

Merge to article on the overall university.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The university article doesn't currently carry descriptions for each faculty, though it probably should, seeing as not every faculty will be notable enough for a standalone article. I'd be okay with a merge without prejudice to the recreation of a more substantial article once better sources identified. --Paul_012 (talk) 00:12, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Sastravuth1786, the article creator, doesn't seem to be currently active, but I'll quote his comment (along with TheLongTone's response) from the article talk page for the sake of including his perspective. --Paul_012 (talk) 00:12, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
TheLongTone. I have undid your redirect as I believe after all this article is about a DENTAL SCHOOL in Thailand. Other universities in the country eg. Chulalongkorn also have an article for their respective faculty of dentistry: Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn Unviersity. Furthermore, other countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States also have article for dental schools in those countries, even if they are sub-units of a university, as observed here: List of dental schools in the United Kingdom and List of dental schools in the United States, as an example. I believe this particular topic is notable enough and I feel it would be unwise to exclude Thailand, whilst including other nations. Furthermore, it would increase Wikipedia's coverage regarding this field of higher education. Sastravuth1786 (talk) 15:43, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
