Redirect[edit]

I see no reason why this page should not be a redirect to University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee List of Colleges and Schools as this only a stub and of questionable notability in it's own right. It would keep all the information on the various departments in a easy to see place. If at any time in the future the section at University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee List of Colleges and Schools is expanded it could then be spit off. Codf1977 (talk) 13:50, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given Wikipedia:College and university article guidelines which states :

“

If an institution's faculties, constituent academic colleges, or academic departments are especially notable or significant they may have their own dedicated article (e.g. Jesus College, Oxford, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania). In general these organizations are not notable (see WP:ORG) and should not be split off from the main institution article in the absence of significant coverage by reliable, independent sources. If some faculties or academic colleges have significance and others do not, it may be the case that the institution's academic programs as a whole are notable. In this case it may be acceptable to create a separate academics article (see Michigan State University academics, Colleges of the University of Oxford)

”

I am not sure that this constituent academic college is especially notable or significant and have taged it as such and feel it should be merged. Codf1977 (talk) 10:20, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- For the show case Michigan State University academics, Colleges of the University of Oxford in the guideline you provided. These two subarticles have their own Sub-sub articles for all their individual colleges and schools. There is nothing wrong for creating articles for these colleges and schools. As they are notable either individual or as a whole as a major research university in the US and special role in the education in Wiscosin. Your list article is not helpful to the readers, who are lost among a long list of schools when searching for the one they are interested. At last, guidelines are guidance or suggestions, not law.

This article should be kept. The standard for notability you provided is not clear cut. Besides, significant sources have been provided in the article to show its notability. DJldhu (talk) 03:17, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed Tag[edit]

I dispute the claim

Since its establishment, College of Nursing has always been ranked top 10% nationally by U.S. News & World Report

Neither this or this ref support the claim. In 2007 it was ranked 32 out of 250 which is 12.8% with a number of schools not ranked due I suspect to the Criticism of college and university rankings (2007 United States) however no link to any past rankings is given.

This] supports. The total number of nursing schools in the list is not 250. There are more than 300 hundred there. Revws (talk) 14:29, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are we back to explaining to you about primary sources ? You can only go on a list of schools ranked - there were 250 schools ranked and University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee College of Nursing came in 32 that is NOT in the to 10% of those ranked. Codf1977 (talk) 14:36, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with that change - the better ref for that is http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-nursing-schools/rankings/page+2

Sorry you did use that but the link is broken Codf1977 (talk) 14:46, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
