Bliss School of Nursing

Took off of CSD, as may be notable re: University of Belize. No personal opinion at the time of this nomination. May opine later. Avi 17:15, 1 February 2007 (UTC)\[reply]

delete Individual schools or departments within a university are not usually notable, though there are exceptions, such as most medical schools.

I think DGG is wrong in this case, though not in general, because the School appears to have had a substantial independent existence as an important school of nursing in its country ( Bliss died in the 1920s, so the school presumably existed for several decades as a separate and notable institution ). The best comparison I can see is with the Royal School of Mines, which has a separate article despite having now evolved into a component of Imperial College. On balance, Keep, though I would welcome expansion and better references. WMMartin 16:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per WMMartin -- Atlant 16:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Separate institution that produced a number of qualified health professionals in Belize prior to its amalgamation to UB. Will try to expand as soon as possible.--Aaronhumes 18:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment There is no information in the article about the number of professions it educated, and that would go far to establish notability. No specific alumni are mentioned, or distinguished nursing educator connected with the school. In fact, the article has no third party sources of any sort. .DGG 23:48, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate you guys' concerns. Quite honestly, there is little valuable info out there on many topics related to Belize that fits WP standards. I will suggest a merge of this article, two others dealing with similar schools (Belize Technical College, Belize Teachers' College) and two more I had intended to create (University College of Belize, Belize School of Agriculture) into one page entitled Pre-University of Belize tertiary level institutions or some similar name. All five are notable because they amalgamated into the University of Belize; in fact, each school represents our five faculties: UCB-Business, Teachers'-Education, Technical-Science/Engineering, BSA-Agric/Natural Resources, BSN-Nursing and Allied Health. Any response to this, let me know.--Aaronhumes 16:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and continue to improve per comments above, tertiary schools are generally notable by nature. Silensor 20:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the comments above. RFerreira 08:16, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
