I can’t say I understand why the nom thought LISTN was the clearest argument here, particularly since there is no “group” or “set”. There has apparently been only one individual in this position, and it is red linked. If it is considered relevant to the parent school article to mention the vice chancellor, it can just be mentioned there. postdlf (talk) 23:55, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question Postdlf wouldn't the group or set be Vice-chancellors of Rajiv Gandhi University? I thought it was obvious more individuals would be added to the list. (sincere question, I want to make sure I don't have a bad understanding of ListN) Thanks. // Timothy :: talk 03:30, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

LISTN isn't useful (or applicable) to all lists, and it's always more helpful to talk about the content directly than to just point to a guideline and copy its language. This is a "list" of one person who has held a certain position at a university. What would "discussion as a group or set" even look like there? We could talk about whether the position is notable such that it merits discussion separate from the university article (and there's no showing that it does), but there's still no "group" when there's only been one vice-chancellor. postdlf (talk) 18:14, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is not just one individual in this post (someone has since added the others to the list). I agree there is no notability, but there clearly is a group. // Timothy :: talk 18:25, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Persons list who held vice- chancellor position is notable, similar articles are List of vice-chancellors of the University of Oxford, List of vice-chancellors of the University of Cambridge, List of vice-chancellors of Banaras Hindu University, List of vice-chancellors of the University of Hong Kong etc..

@TimothyBlue: Sorry, I hadn't seen that more names had been added since the nomination. I think it's still worth explaining what would "discussion as a group or set" look like for this type of list; it's at best a very indirect way of asking whether the position is notable, so just state that directly. This could also be analyzed as a WP:SPLIT from the parent article without regard to LISTN.
@DEVEGOWDA S R: Some university vice-chancellorships may merit standalone lists; others may not. I don't see a basis for assuming all such positions do at all universities. postdlf (talk) 21:26, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Postdlf:sir, You are absolutely right but as per Indian governaament vice-chancellorship of Banaras Hindu University same as Rajiv Gandhi University both are central university, only diffrer in number of students study at university. At Banaras Hindu University about 30,000 study per year where as in Rajiv Gandhi University 16,000 students per year. I quoted List of vice-chancellors of Banaras Hindu University for reference only.DEVEGOWDA S R (talk) 04:26, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. No need for a separate list just to name one person. That person is mentioned already on the parent article. Ajf773 (talk) 01:16, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not meet WP:LISTN and is not a significant list. Whiteguru (talk) 06:52, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I can see reason to have this list on the article on the university. No good reason for it to be a free standing article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:42, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. At first I thought of supporting a merge, but it seems that Wikipedia has barely ever entertained such redirects for "list of vice-chancellors", that's why the article can be deleted for now. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 17:49, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Still seems to fail WP:LISTN even with the improvements. -- Dane ^talk 02:47, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
