Unclear that this is notable outside of the Yale community or compared with similar programs at other universities. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:47, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Note comparison to similar programs elsewhere to determine if this one is a standout is an illogical argument. We do not keep only the top 50% of articles by topic. Top 17 presidents, biggest 25 states, et cetera. The criteria is WP:N. I'll reserve comment on that until later in the discussion. Jerry delusional ¤ kangaroo 16:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Being a president or a state is inherently notable. Being a club is not considered inherently notable; notability must be ascertained.—Largo Plazo (talk) 17:23, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No argument there. Just saying we do not require subjects to more notable than their contemporaries, as if we only kept the top x% notables within topics. Wikipedia is not a who's who or what's what guide. We just require subjects to pass notability. Even the least notable subject within a topic is retained if it meets our notability criteria. We don't say "sure it has received plenty of press, but it is not any more notable than most of the rest of them". That's fallacious logic. It is actually possible for all similar programs to be notable, like US Presidents, etc. That was my only point. Jerry delusional ¤ kangaroo 21:28, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Notability appears to be absent. This is not certain; I would not be opposed to a redirect and content transfer if it is proposed. If more information comes to light on notability, feel free to ping me on my Talk page. CRGreathouse (t | c) 19:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, doesn't seem to meet WP:ORG. Optionally redirect to a list of programs like this in Yale (if one exists). Stifle (talk) 08:16, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• delete as no notability established.Yobmod (talk) 09:44, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
