Talk:Science Policy Research Unit

The citations are placed in strange places (in headlines) because the page is being deleted without them.


 * Headings are still not the correct place for citations, so I moved them to the end of each section. Also, please note that all of the citations are to a single source - the SPRU website. While that source may be ok to support basic facts, That is not a reliable source to demonstrate notability per WP:N or WP:GNG. You need to cite significant coverage in sources independent of the subject. – ukexpat (talk) 14:01, 6 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I have added two new references (2 and 5) from independent sources, which I think shows the notability of SPRU. DO you think we can drop the 'notability' issue? I will also go on editing the entry to reflect SPRU's current structure and focus, relying, whenever possible, on sources other than SPRU website. Caepenna (talk) 18:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Merge proposal: Harvard Sussex Program to here
Harvard Sussex Program doesn't seem to meet WP:NOTABILITY, but could be a useful section here. Harvard Sussex Program has been tagged for notability for 7 years. Boleyn (talk) 06:53, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
