Non-notable institution; article created (and then prod removed) by COI-afflicted editor who is creating a number of articles on topics that should be covered (if at all) in the main article on Near East University. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 18:30, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge into University article - We don't have a unique standard for herbaria, but I would suggest that they should be considered along similar criteria with libraries, archives, museums, and other kinds of collecting organizations. That is to say, a unique resource and collection would be notable for inclusion. It may not merit a stand-alone article if it's a small collection or part of a larger entity. I would like someone with more expertise on herbaria to say whether it's small for its size and in particular if it is a unique resource for Cyprus. I would say it would not be notable if it is not intended as a research collection but as a teaching or student collection, but according to the article, it sounds like a research collection. --Lquilter (talk) 17:32, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Whether it warrants a separate article is something to be judged with reference to whether there are sufficient sources. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 04:08, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Near East University for now until it warrants a stand-alone entry. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:57, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Would have been nice to have {{afd-notice}}'d the article creator (though not required), especially considering the mention in the nom. czar · · 23:03, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, L Faraone 02:13, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - to Near East University per several points already mentioned and my personal belief that there's almost always something to merge or redirect to. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 02:29, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
