Talk:Pima Community College

message: So, I'm confused, Ian. Do you think this entry should be deleted or not? I have not heard many arguments for deleting an entry for a school attended by 75,000, which is the only junior college in the oldest and second-largest metropolitan area in Arizona, on six campuses.
You restored the  flag which had been removed, then you removed it yourself. I don't know if we're supposed to be debating this entry's existence or not. AZJustice has made the claim that "more than one" person thinks the article fails notability. Should a discussion on the proposal to delete therefore proceed?
The arguments in the original tag were as follows (broken out into numbered list form):
# school not notable;
# one of hundreds of community colleges;
# Wikipedia not a school guide; 
# newspaper section written by current editor; 
# writing of article poor and NOT SOURCED
My responses to these claims are:
# There is nothing about Pima Community College that fails WP:Schools -- especially as an editor states on the Talk page, there is a general agreement that educational institutions at the college and university level are broadly notable. I haven't seen anyone seriously dispute that a college fails at notability.
# This is not an argument for deletion. There are hundreds of community colleges -- and most of them do have Wikipedia articles. Likewise, there are thousands of movies, hundreds of counties, thousands of cities, and so on. It's not merely enough to state there is some number of the same category as a way of calling for deletion.
# Similarly, an entry on a college or university does not a "college guide" make, nor was this entry written in college guide style. I don't find the argument "Wikipedia is not a school guide" compelling.
# I'm not an editor of the Aztec Press paper; I'm the writing coach, a part-time temporary position. I've checked WP:COI and I don't feel this is a conflict of interest. I make efforts to maintain encyclopedic quality, verifiability, and absence of POV in everything I write. In any case, potential conflict of interest by one editor is not in itself a reason to delete an article, but lack of notability is.
# Nothing about the writing of this page has been identified as "poor;" poor writing should be improved, not deleted. Items requiring sourcing -- which are primarily controversial or dubious statements, not listing of campuses -- should be flagged with , rather than calling for the page to be deleted.
I'd like to know if anyone has any legitimate arguments for deleting this article, so that this PROD can be resolved and concerns with the article addressed. It would help if specific items for improving the entry were cited and flagged with the appropriate wiki markup. Thanks. --Kynn 19:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deletion? 

message: I realized that the majority of the "Notable People" section were all MMA Fighters so I split the section in two. Perhaps there should be a small section dedicated to explaining the schools wrestling program and how it spawned so many fighters. I've heard UFC commentator Mike Goldberg mention Pima multiple times on national television as being an MMA Powerhouse.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:308B:8F90:5CD1:648C:BA9B:7C7E (talk) 08:25, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

message: The source link is dead, and directed to CQ Engage, which describes itself as "advocacy software." I'm removing this section, but if someone feels that it's relevant I did find two stories about the case.

message: The article :Aztec Middle College has been redirected to PCC. Per talk page info, the AMC article had one old archived PCC info page listed as a reference. That reference is included here as part of the WP:BLAR. (So now, for WP editors, the next step is to check the status of the old AMC program. Is is still going or what?) – S.
