[edit] Merge to Proctor
I called for this article to be deleted under the "prod" process because it has no verified sources. However on reflection I will go back and remove the prod tag and call for it to be merged to Proctor. I was at Oxford for 6 years and never heard of them even though I had a College disciplinary position for 2 years. Google does report that they had been disbanded in 2003 as the article states but I did not find information for the other statements. I would also add that an organisation that no longer exists and does not seem to be widely known even in Oxford is not notable. The article Proctor has a section on the Oxford University Proctors that is tagged as needing updating and seems to be taken from the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, a publication now in the public domain. That section should be updated and the information on the Police should be merged there. It is quite out of balance for WP to have a separate article on the Police and no up to date information on the Proctors.
Debate on the merge should be at Talk:Proctor, so I will copy the above there. --Bduke 21:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
