This article was nominated for deletion on 9 September 2009 (UTC). The result of the discussion was merge to West Virginia University.

This is a good start. However, take a look at the link to the deletion page discussion. You're being asked to add more substance.

Some thoughts:

Expand the lead paragraph to talk about research, current administration, perhaps include citations of the college mission.

Be careful of statement that sound like bias. For example, you state that Eberly "remains at the very heart of the University." This feels like marketing for the college. Change it to facts backed up by reference. Facts could be citations of administrators/presidents/deans; it could also be statistics.

Both would be a good idea. Be alert to other, similar marketing-speak statements.

I think you need sections on Research, Administration, and the College Mission.--Sandybaldwin (talk) 15:07, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

+Some thoughts:
-The thumbnailed "downtown.jpg" image is incorrect and refers to a different "downtown.jpg", Additionally it appears the article is within the "User Page" and not a unique properly titled article. --[[User:Aaron.a.high|Aaron.a.high]] ([[User talk:Aaron.a.high|talk]]) 16:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
