Changing to a list

So far, the content in this article looks like a list. If that is the intent, then it may work better to start a new page (e.g., List of higher education associations in Canada or List of higher education organizations in Canada with associations being one of its sub-components) and then request deletion of the Higher Education Associations and Organizations article and its redirect (i.e., Higher Education and Related Associations and Organizations) link.

I've updated the page title to satisfy WP:MOS. It can be moved again if this is deemed to be a list instead of an article. Mind matrix 20:05, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Decision

This article is part of the Category:Higher education in Canada and could be a list-article OR a sub-section within the Higher education in Canada article. If it is a standalone list, then it would need suitable abstracts and links for each association or organization. Plus, editing to wikify, cleanup, provide context, and add a lead section. If the content is added to the Higher education in Canada article, then the content would need similar editing except for slightly less context since that would be provided by the rest of the "Canada" article. So, it's almost the same amount of work but we need to make a decision to fix it one way or the other to avoid deletion.

Do we merge the current list within Higher education associations and organizations in Canada into the Higher education in Canada article OR keep the article as is and fix it promptly to prevent its deletion on July 22, 2008? If possible, please add comment below:

Merge: I'm recommending we add this content to the Higher education in Canada article as a subsection with a brief introduction providing context and abstracts briefly describing the associations/organizations. For a similar approach, see the "Associations" subsection within Higher education in Ontario. Rationale: Readers of the Higher education in Canada article don't need to leave the article to get an overview of the applicable associations/organization but have the option to do so to get more detail. If the content outgrows the subsection at some point, then we could evaluate creating a standalone new page while leaving a suitable abstract in Higher education in Canada.

Merge: I've started to expand each of the Associations and add appropriate citations. I should have a write-up for them in the next 2 days. It seems better to add this under Higher education in Canada, especially as that page needs to be beefed up anyway. Chiklets99 (talk) 02:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: either option is fine. All this really needs is one or two paragraphs to describe the concept. There's nothing wrong with having stub articles on Wikipedia, so long as they at least have something of value, not just a list or two without context. Another option is to convert this into a "List of ..." article (as indicated above), but I think this has potential beyond a mere list. Mind matrix 14:50, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We may end up with a bit of both (i.e., an overview in Higher education in Canada and a more detailed article page here with links to full pages on the related groups). We've avoided the deletion, so we have some time to allow this article to evolve by adding content. Adhe536ontario2008 (talk) 20:02, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
