Delete. per WP:DIRECTORY. The page has got a lot of red links and there a re a number of private organisations making it a bit spamish. Also, there are many links to Universities rather than specialty marine collages. Irredeemably bad page. Lets recycle the storage space into something more useful! -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 08:37, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Passes WP:LISTPURP as a useful navigation aid to find articles about maritime colleges. Also, red-links can encourage article creation in some instances. --Northamerica1000^(talk) 13:03, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (though it needs editing). Colleges are generally notable, even if many currently have redlinks. The list certainly contains some notable marine colleges, making it the foundation of a better list. (Perhaps it could be divided between marine colleges and general institutions that teach marine subjects?) It's not such a bad article that we need to nuke it and start again - pruning would be sufficient. Private institutions should be listed if they're notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:55, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and clean up. I don't think this is "irredeemably" bad, though it does need a lot of work. Mark Arsten (talk) 21:02, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
