Individual university departments have never been considered notable here except in special cases, or if they are one of the two or three most famous in the world in their subject. According to the article, this particular department is one of the two best--in Oregon. '''[[User:DGG| DGG]]''' ([[User talk:DGG| talk ]]) 06:17, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

*'''delete''' - individual univrsity departments do not usually qalify for a stand alone article. Looking at the article, this appears to be a department of a department. That's certainly too far removed to jusstify an article.[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung กุดผึ้ง]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 15:18, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

*'''Please DON'T delete''' - I feel like you'd be misrepresenting this particular university. To name a few departments that are not the most famous in the world, the University of Illinois at Urbana, University of Maryland, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon, University of California, University of Washington and the University of Oregon all have their respective "Computer Science" department pages. This particular university, Oregon State, was known for graduating two alumni from the program- the inventor of the computer mouse and the founder of nVidia. I'd say that is notable enough to at least have a page stub.

If you want, you can throw all the info on this page to the OSU College of Engineering, however, there are a ton of different departments there that haven't been properly developed yet. It's up to you guys on how you want to structure the pages, however, it took some time to make this page, so I'd appreciate it if you kept my work the way it is or moved it to another page.

Thanks for your consideration and for trying to make Wikipedia a better place! : ) Mr.oppa.2 01:54, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Not even a department. Computer Science at OSU is just a program in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department. University departments such as [[Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science]], [[Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign]], [[University of Maryland Department of Computer Science]], etc. have an important place in the history of computers and computer science. I can't find anything to show that the program at OSU has that history. [[User:StarryGrandma|StarryGrandma]] ([[User talk:StarryGrandma|talk]]) 23:51, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Except for rare cases where some unusual circumstances are present, we do not have separate Wikipedia articles about specific university departments. There is no indication of anything justifying a stand-alone article here. [[User:Nsk92|Nsk92]] ([[User talk:Nsk92|talk]]) 17:35, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
