Department of a university. Does not seem notable enough (or notability is not established in the article) to warrant a separate article. Suggest deletion and add mention to the main university article. Biker Biker (talk) 07:29, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Redirect to University of Washington as per Wikipedia:College_and_university_article_guidelines#Faculties_and_academic_colleges as there is no evidence that this department has individual notability. AllyD (talk) 07:58, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect into the university's page, college specific. Shadowjams (talk) 08:25, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per nom. We need to look at these other departments too, like University of Washington College of Arts and Sciences, University of Washington School of Dentistry, University of Washington Information School, University of Washington School of Public Health, etc. It looks like a series of perfunctory articles has been generated using boilerplate from the University catalog and marketing brochures, and padded with run of the mill lists of programs, non-notable deans and faculty, etc. See WP:NOTDIRECTORY, WP:Run of the mill for why this sort of reference data is non-encyclopedic. There's no reason to have readers come to Wikipedia for things that are just as easily found on the Universities own web sites. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:41, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed; department-level articles should go unless there is demonstration of specific notability (on which the bar is high: I've seen top 10 in the world mentioned elsewhere as an appropriate department-level criterion). These probably need a distinct follow-up nomination though. AllyD (talk) 21:10, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
