Hi, I think that this article is worth keeping as this department is one of the leading such departments in the world. I have been writing why this department is viewed as the best in the UK for research and by linking it into a number of existing Wikipedia articles I am demonstrating its importance. For example, this department is the first UK institution to be invited to be an information school (an elite gathering of mainly US institutions). I have also demonstrated that members of the department are important and notable academics (e.g. Willett and Wilson).

I've also added references to two special issues of the Journal of Information Science, which were both devoted to the research output of the department. Very few University departments have that honor. This is a notable department. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Munromagic (talk • contribs) 16:50, 6 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've also added a further reference to an article in a prominent academic journal that further shows the research standing of the department, which I would say justifies its staying Wikipedia because it is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.147.153.65 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 6 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
