I would argue an independent English version of the article is warranted (as there is in Danish). There are numerous comparable journalism schools having their own English entries, see e.g. Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Missouri School of Journalism, Medill School of Journalism, CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Donald W. Reynolds School of Journalism, USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism - just to mention a few. -Dnh (talk) 12:43, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, indeed it is a valid point to emphasize that the pure existence of other pages is no valid argument in and of itself to justify a new entry. The opposite, I suppose, is correct as well. From a substantive point of view, I do not see why it would make sense to highlight one specific school on a general university page as suggested. This would bring a general article out of balance. If, piece by piece, other schools are added, the general university page would end up being unusable. The university in question has approx. 30 departments plus approx. 50 research centres. Moreover, while detailed information on the Centre for Journalism are relevant for researchers, journalists and students in the field of journalism, these are less relevant for persons generally interested in the numerous other fields the university covers.

Well the reason I proposed the merge in the first place was because I don't think there is enough notability to warrant an individual page. Going by the WP:GNG guideline, the Centre of Journalism fails to meet the required notability requirements. Hence, a merge would be a compromise in order to retain some of the relevant information regarding the centre. -Cntras (talk) 09:57, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But Dnh makes a valid point - the article will be unmanageable, when more centers have their content in the university page. This center is actually rather well-known in Denmark. --WiseWoman (talk) 20:00, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have added several external links to emphasize the notability and extended the entry with further information. Dnh (talk) 21:30, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
