Foundation Year Programme (University of King's College)

Not notable, fails WP:N. The only external source is actually a directory with thexts provided by the Universities (as can be seen when you look at e.g. this). The program gets mentioned a few times in passing (when discussing staff and so on, or cheating students), but no reliable indepth sources about the program could be found in Google News Archive or Google Books.

With respect, I disagree with the proposal that this article be deleted (though as its creator I am arguably lacking in objectivity). I have added some additional source material that will I hope establish the notability of the subject to everyone's satisfaction. Having said that if the the decision goes the other way I hope that at least the content of the article can be preserved by merging it with the the main University of King's College article or with the main Foundation Year Programme article. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards, Tillander 22:13, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to University of King's College. There is nothing outstanding about any particular university's courses that merits a stand-alone encyclopedia entry. Possible exceptions according notability could be if they have spawned Nobel laureates, for example. --Kudpung (talk) 09:49, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge with University of King's College. As an aside, there's an issue with one of the cited sources which may impact notability and which I have noted on the talk page. Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 05:52, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with University of King's College. Not WP:N on its own. Better to merge with the relevant primary article to give it more depth and breadth. --Takamaxa (Talk) 02:22, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
