Talk:Northampton Polytechnic

Northampton Polytechnic Institute

Northampton Polytechnic Institute wasn't a school, it was a polytechnic: institute of technology, and it wasn't in Islington, it was in Clerkenwell, then part of the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury, now part of the London Borough of Islington. It became a university in 1966, changing its name to City University. The citation used for this article is to a list of University of London graduates. It appears to contain no information about Northampton Polytechnic Institute. Northampton Polytechnic Institute was never part of the University of London, although it's possible students may have taken U of L examinations as external students. The history of Northampton Polytechnic Institute is already covered, in more detail and more accurately, in the article for City University London. Robocon1 (talk) 16:26, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

I would suggest there is justification for this article's existence, since the City University article covers this period of the history in such a perfunctory fashion (despite what I said in my earlier post). If no-one has any objection, I will edit it to correct the errors of geography and fact. Perhaps it should be removed from the list of schools in Islington?Robocon1 (talk) 16:48, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, please do so. Thank you for your help. Candleabracadabra (talk) 15:34, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
