- Merge (to James Madison University) or Weak Keep: I declined your PROD because there is a good amount of information on the page that contains encyclopedic information on notable subjects. For example, the marching band has its own page, the Forbes Center is notable (e.g., "From Obscurity To Prominence: James Madison University’s Forbes Center Transforms The Public Face Of The Arts" or "Virginia University Opens Art Centre"), and the brass band is notable (e.g., "Brass Band Corner: The James Madison University Brass Band"). Voting a weak keep as a possibility as this is a novel case where it could serve as a valid split from the large JMU article, although some instances are already in the parent article. Either way, the page history should not be deleted. Why? I Ask ( talk) 23:48, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Those specific organizations may be notable but no one has presented evidence that the college itself is independently notable. ElKevbo ( talk) 14:37, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Weak Keep Article needs total cleanup. Ñ•ætin👨 ( talk) 07:05, 11 March 2023 (UTC)WP:SOCKSTRIKE – Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 23:03, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, as the mother article is huge and there's info here worth keeping. A quick review of all the James Madison articles shows they all need work. It would be nice if some interested editor grabbed the bull by the horns and reorganized all the JM articles. This article is a necessary content fork, albeit done boldly. 174.212.228.151 ( talk) 11:17, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge to James Madison University it's a great idea that this could be totally revamped up by an enterprising editor but I have my doubts it will happen. The better plan of action is to merge back into the main article. Nweil ( talk) 22:49, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
