small academic department. not highly notable. no significant reason for separate article. should go bye-bye. some substantial error facts in establishing the notability (it is not on of the largest in Australasia by a long stretch for instance). Much of the information is a violation of copyright. reads largely as an advertorial Fredrickthenotsogreat 02:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This really smacks of jealousy. Cantebury ranked higher than Auckland in Political Studies? Are you serious? Is there anyone at Cantebury in Politics that matters? Vic can make some claims, but the PBRF scores in no way reflect the true weight of Auckland in national political life. Beside the alumni, people like Jack Vowles, Raymond Miller, Yongjin Zhang, Paul Buchanan, Helena Catt, Andrew Sharp, Barry Gustafson, Peter Aimer, all current or recent staff, are certainly major academic figures in NZ political life. Deleting the page or merging into the Auckland general page might be advisable, but the grounds advocated by the one commentator show a clear prejudice against the department. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.216.146.240 (talk • contribs)
