The biographies of living persons policy advises:

This policy does not normally apply to edits about corporations, companies, or other entities regarded as legal persons, though any such material must comply with the other content policies. The extent to which the BLP policy applies to edits about groups is complex and must be judged on a case-by-case basis. A harmful statement about a small group or organization comes closer to being a BLP problem than a similar statement about a larger group; and when the group is very small, it may be impossible to draw a distinction between the group and the individuals that make up the group. When in doubt, make sure you are using high-quality sources.

This article is written in British English with Oxford spelling (colour, realize, organization, analyse; note that -ize is used instead of -ise) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Photograph

I don't think it is appropriate to use the photograph of an anonymous building here. You attribute a spatial identity to the institution even though it doesn't have one yet. Mastika1972

Really overplays the UoL connection

This article needs quite a lot as it implies it has a greater connection to the university of London than it has. Also https://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/news/southampton-solent-validate-%C2%A318k-new-college-humanities-degrees says they are going to be validated by Solent. 194.227.208.91 (talk) 13:37, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I second that completely. There is endless of talk of Oxbridge and Ivy League places, of top-level students fleeing the country, lots of dropping of names of academics who also happen to be TV celebrities (as well as people whose only accomplishment is being on TV), and then somewhere hidden in the smokescreen we find that degrees are validated by Southampton bloody Solent.92.12.60.184 (talk) 09:13, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree. This is a PR-heavy page with little of substance - crucially links to sources include links the NCH website, which cannot be regarded as authoritative and unbiased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:630:12:2E21:948:6F74:986D:491D (talk) 16:04, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is this place any good, really?

Apart from the ongoing discussion over this page's blurbiness, which is a good thing, it's hard to get a good fix on just how good or bad this college is. On the one hand, it likes to compare itself to Oxbridge and invite Ivy League celeb-scholars (and their wives) to give guest lectures. On the other, hand, it is not such a big stonking deal (at least not for a regular Russel university) to get "famous" people to give seminars, and also, it is rather telling that the New College's brochure cannot make up its mind as to whether it teaches "science litteracy" or "science literacy" ... it all smacks a bit of desperation and rank amateurishness, doesn't it? My guess would be that that Grayling is not much of a details man, more of a posturing alpha individual who is obsessed with befriending same.137.205.183.109 (talk) 10:28, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The comment above is a fine example of the negative POV which characterises the whole article. SteveCree2 (talk) 14:18, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Organisation

This article needs a substantial rewrite - it is repetitive and structurally incoherent. - Sitush (talk) 20:24, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I second the notion that this article needs substantial re-writing. Much of it is terribly out of date and reflects the state of play shortly after the college was first founded some years ago. There is considerable evidence of negative POV too. That includes comments on this talk page about whether the college is 'really any good'. Wiki isn't a vehicle for subjective discussion amongst parties with an interest in deprecating a particular institution. For now, I have taken out some outdated information about location and inserted the correct new details. 14:14, 13 August 2021 (UTC) SteveCree2 (talk) 14:15, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
