- I will not oppose if Wikipedia editors think that is the correct thing to do. I also do not know why all college articles are redirected to the University article. Affiliated colleges have separate meanings, they have separate governing bodies and separate faculty everything. They do not have any relationship with the university. University is like an affiliating board, which monitors the quality of the college. Every university has a certain number of affiliated colleges and the university just monitors them to maintain their standard. They just suggest the syllabus and sometimes help them in examining the students (again not always). Every school in India is under some board, so all of them are not simply eligible for any Wikipedia article. Only board articles are just fine. Every engineering and medical college in India is under some university, so it is better to delete every engineering and medical college article. But redirecting them to university articles is a very bad idea, rather it is better to delete every school, college, and medical college article (except university and board articles). Let's see the University of Cambridge Wikipedia article, They also have many affiliated college articles like Churchill College, Cambridge, St Edmund's College, Cambridge etc. Harvard University has Harvard College. In this sense, it is also better to delete the articles of Churchill College, Cambridge and St Edmund's College, Cambridge etc or redirect them to the University of Cambridge article. It is a matter of debate. Now, I left the decision to other Wikipedia editors for their opinion. However, I think if the opinion is to remove them just delete not redirect. If this is the opinion of everyone, then also delete the article Churchill College, Cambridge], St Edmund's College, Cambridge etc articles. Please see the article Colleges of the University of Cambridge. Colleges are self-governed charities in their own right, with their own endowments and possessions (similar to Indian colleges). If possible please delete the articles but not redirect them. That's a wrong signal.
Please note the languages from the Colleges of the University of Cambridge article:
Cambridge Colleges provide most of the accommodation for undergraduates and postgraduates at the University. At the undergraduate level they have responsibility for admitting students to the university, providing pastoral support, and organising elements of their tuition, though lectures and examinations are organised by the faculties and departments of the central University. All degrees are awarded by the University itself, not the colleges, and all students study for the same course regardless of which college they attend. For postgraduate students, research is conducted virtually entirely centrally in the faculties, departments and other university-affiliated research centres, though the colleges provide a central social and intellectual hub for students.
Colleges are self-governed charities in their own right, with their own endowments and possessions.
Everything is similar to the Indian system.
