  • Comment: Incredibly, 42 (!) citations, and yet I couldn't find a single source among the refbombing that meets the WP:GNG standard for notability. In case I'm wrong, the author is welcome to point out the three strongest secondary sources (newspapers, magazines, TV and radio programmes, books, etc.) that cover the college (not some indirectly related matters) in significant extent and depth.
    Please note also that some of the sources don't work, and LinkedIn and Wordpress blogs are user-generated and therefore not considered reliable. These citations should be repaired or replaced. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:32, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: This does a nice job of telling us about the college and what it does- that's not what we are looking for. An article about this college must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about it, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Most of your sources just document things the college has done and don't seem to go into detail about the significance of the college as sources see it. 331dot (talk) 09:18, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
