Tatung Institute Tea Culture and Department of Business Management[edit]

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

Fails WP:N and WP:ORG. Just to be clear, Tatung Institute of Technology is a notable educational institution. Tatung Institute Tea Culture and Department of Business Management is a new, small department within the institution. One of the references says that the department has only 10 students. Of course there is no inherited notability. If a university is notable, that does not mean that each department (could be 100s per university) should get its own article.

Question. Is this perhaps the most notable such department in the world? It's not a field where I have any familiarity. If not, merge, as usual for academic departments. DGG ( talk ) 03:31, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's a really interesting question. As far as I can tell, the department is 1 year old and has 10 students. Logical Cowboy (talk) 03:52, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tatung Institute of Technology is not related to the Tatung Institute Tea Culture and Department of Business Management, they are different schools in different cities, also while tea culture and studies (in English)is not popular it still is notable, about the article of "ten students", what it says is that they recruited 45 students which went down to 10 which are mostly childern of tea farmers, and also had 18 students from the school so now have 28. icetea8 (talk) 05:17, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tatung Institute Tea Culture and Department of Business Management is a department of Tatung Institute of Commerce and Technology. The website of the former is http://tea.ttc.edu.tw/ and the website of the latter is http://www.ttc.edu.tw/. The subject of the article is not a school, it's a small, minor department. The point is that single departments of whole universities don't normally get their own articles. When it is a 1 year old department with 28 students after 35 quit, and there is no 3rd party evidence of notability, it surely should not get its own article.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bachelor_of_Legal_Studies_(Hons) and similar cases. We don't keep articles on small departments in academia. Bearian (talk) 22:03, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
