Queen's School of Computing[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An Individual department in a good quality research university . No evidence of particular notability. Our usual standard is to be one of the half-dozen or so highest ranking departments in the world, (or , equivalently, of world-famous.) I note there are no 3rd party references-- except for the most famous departments, this will usually be the case, which is why they almost always fail notability

No evidence of particular distinction even within the country. Lists of r teaching programs is not encyclopedic content. There is nothing here that is not covered in the departments web site. and almost everything about the academic program will be of interest only to students there or prospective students.

Keep. I added some references. If a book about the history of the university has been published, the book should have enough information about the school of computing to establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:34, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

since the School was not founded until 2004, I doubt any of the books about the university listed on the main university page would cover it; they were published earlier. The references you added were one to the university's own news bulletin, one to a news service announcement about the appointment of a professor, and one about a single contest by their student programming team in which they placed 12th overall.

Delete per DGG. The title is an imprecise search term for a redirect; better would be Queen's University School of Computing or even Queen's University at Kingston School of Computing. Changing what links to this article would be more practical. JFHJr (㊟) 06:26, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Did not find any independent refs to establish notability. Merge to Queen's University would seem to create an WP:UNDUE issue. I have added a note to Talk:Queen's University soliciting additional input. -—Kvng 05:21, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
