The result was delete. Consensus (excluding two WP:ATA comments that may also be canvassed) is that there's nothing mergeworthy here and that the college isn't independently notable. I'll restore the history if somebody thinks otherwise, though. Sandstein 18:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an independent degree-granting institution but rather an administrative unit within Xinjiang Medical University and it has no independent notability from the university. The only reference cited does not even mention the college. The link given as official website is the main website of the university and the link from there to the college is empty[1]. No coverage by independent reliable sources or even by non-independent primary sources here, so all the info in the article, apart from the fact that the college exists, is non-verifiable. There is no verifiable info here to merge to Xinjiang Medical University and in fact the only place in this article where the college itself is even discussed is in the first paragraph. The name is also rather unlikely as a search item so does not merit a redirect. Fails WP:V, WP:N and WP:ORG and should be plain deleted. Nsk92 (talk) 19:09, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
*Keep This is the only college in the Xinjiang which is responsible for recruiting the international students from Pakistan, India, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and other countries. The name used in different countries for admission into the university is that of International Education College. So I think this college has a worldwide notability. As the name of the article has been changed from International Education College of Xinjiang Medical University"to Xinjiang Medical University: International Education College" it does not show the original name of the college. Plz reverse the name of the institution and keep it in Wikipedia. Plus you can check how much traffic this page is getting from users of Internet worldwide. I think Wikipedia is for the users and not the Administrators discussing whether it has notability or not. This page is having traffic from internet users it means that this is being viewed and helpful for people around the world. Thanks very much If you will consider my request + i will also be posting some examples from different wiki articles which are not degree awarding institutions but they have pages at Wikipedia.220.171.32.76 (talk) 11:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
