Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/German universities affiliated with Pope Benedict XVI
First, ''merge and delete'' is permissible, inasmuch as there are other ways to retain contribution history; nevertheless, we look with disfavor on ''merge and delete'' because, FWIK, the requisite work is arduous, and because redirects such as this aren't really harmful.  Second, I agree with Stifle that the list is such that, were the text even slightly reworked in a merge, no attribution would be required.  On the whole, though, this information already exists in the Pope Benedict XVI article, and I can see no reason for which we ought to have a separate page enumerating the universities at which one studied/taught.  While the information is notable as part of a biographical article (or even an article apropos of the education of an individual, where such education is of particular importance to the subject overall as, for example, in William James Sidis), where it exists solely as a list,  is certainly dispositive; a redirect, further, is wholly unnecessary--as Tyrenius says, it is exceedingly unlikely that one would ever search for this phrase
