The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Merge anything of worth and then, please, redirect to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This is an WP:ATD and since the article is so short (outside of useless information about classes, faculty...), whatever is worthy can be merged and a simple redireect to the appropriate section makes sense.

Thanks for your contributions and assuming good faith on this decision. If you have a problem with it, please bring up your concerns at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thank you and happy holidays! Missvain (talk) 19:47, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I added some references. Take a look at the academic work by the center's director at https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Hv__SVAAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=sra Since most of those articles are by mutiple authors, I think that the collaborations at the Center demonstrate not only the notability of individual authors but of the center as a whole.

Merge to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The subject quite evidently does not attain the necessary level of independent notability. Online and in-book searches scare up a lot of hits about "plasma-material interactions" but not about the center. The merging would actually be an act of leniency, since not even Urbana's Department of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering, the unit to which our subject belongs, has a Wikipedia entry. -The Gnome (talk) 14:59, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge To the target identified above. This clearly isn't notable enough as a stand alone subject to warrant an article. Plus, it reads like an advert anyway and appears to have been created/mainly edited by an SPA account. As a side, maybe the center's director is notable enough to warrant an article about them due to their academic work. I'd be fine with that, but notability isn't inherited. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:56, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
