Comment: Still no evidence of notability per WP:ORG. DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:24, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Close primary sources do not establish notability per WP:ORG, we need to see significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources.Note that while universities typically are notable, individual faculties/departments/schools etc. seldom are.
