This is an article dedicated to a single office within a much larger university. The provost of a university generally lacks the notability to be included in an encyclopedia article as a separate entry, and much of the material on the page reads as if it was pulled from the websites for the university describing those programs.

  • Delete. The article looks more like a page from publicity material for the university than an article in an encyclopedia. Also there doesn't seem to be significant enough coverage in independent sources for notability. Breaking sticks (talk) 21:59, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Kinda sad that an admin is responsible for most of the content here. You'd think an admin would have a better handle on notability guidelines and the GNG. Superficially, there are lots of sources, but once you eliminate primary sources and touch on WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GEOSCOPE, what you got here is a lot of namedrops and casual mentions.

@NukeThePukes: What are you talking about? The article was mostly written by Mike Cline three years before he became an administrator. Breaking sticks (talk) 22:19, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
