Article is completely empty except for an external link. Speedy declined for unknown reason as this is a clear case of A3. Travelbird (talk) 10:35, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Administrator note I declined the speedy. The "unknown reason" was specified in my edit summary: "Decline speedy: it *is* empty, but it's about a university. Subject is notable, and article should exist". The solution to articles like this is to improve them, as I am now doing, not to delete them. TFOWR 10:39, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree, but I do not see this happenng. As of now, the article is of no real value, even after you added "Induk University is a university in Seoul, South Korea." If and when someone adds substantive content, the article should exist. But until that time, I see no value in having an article just because theoretically one could have one in the future.

• Keep. A stub is better than no article if the subject is agreed to be notable. This debate has caused significant expansion of the article, Travelbird. Cullen328 (talk) 15:17, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep. The administrator who declined the speedy delete has cleaned up the article considerably. The nominator's original concerns on the article lacking content have been completely addressed. Great job with the clean-up, TFOWR. :) --Hongkongresident (talk) 13:15, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• The subject was renamed to "Induk University" in 2009; prior to that it was called the "Induk Institute of Design" (and prior to that "Berea in Korea" - the founder, Induk Pahk, had spent time at Berea College). Taking into account its various names there seems to be "significant coverage that addresses the subject in detail". Notability isn't inherited, but Shin Hyun-jun teaches there, as does the creator of Dooly the Little Dinosaur :-) Keep it for Dooly! TFOWR 13:25, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per TFOWR's reasoning and improvements.--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:56, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - notability has now been established in the improvements and expansion. Off2riorob (talk) 21:39, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
