Topic and Notability
The title of this article implied to me that it should focus on the "neruobioengineering" discipline of bioengineering. However, the article as it is currently written is entierly about the neurobioengineering program at the University of Genova. Should the article be rewritten to focus more on the broader topic than the one college program? If not, is the topic of this article notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia page? 22alia (talk) 01:20, 10 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree wholeheartedly, thank you for bringing this up!
 * Having the article focus on the program rather than the discipline is inappropriate, and the discipline itself would not meet notability criteria on its own either: a search of the term neurobioengineering yields no significant results on PubMed and no hits on Google Books, and even Google searches show only a handful of original results repeated in different contexts without much prevalence. I think the discipline of neurobioengineering would therefore be better described as a subfield of other areas in Wikipedia (Biological engineering, Biomedical engineering, Neural tissue engineering and/or Neural engineering) but would not merit an article of its own.
 * Since no one else seems to have disagreed with the notability issue you have raised in this discussion, I am going to blank and redirect neurobioengineering to neural engineering at least for now.
 * If someone believes these two are sufficiently distinct and would like to dissociate the field of neurobioengineering from neural engineering, please make sure to add evidence of notability to avoid excessive overlap between articles. Cffisac (talk) 02:11, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
