Biotechnology Training Program – University of Virginia

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This is a PhD research program at the University of Virginia. I can find no indication that this program has received coverage in reliable sources to make this individual program of the university meet Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. Whpq (talk) 12:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

New citations recently added, including one in ScienceCareers. Article is important in today's challenging economic climate as students seek new career pathways. Glaurie (talk) 6:23, 26 July 2012 
 * Comment - It sounds like you believe this article is important for promoting the UV BTP program. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a vehicle for advertising. -- Whpq (talk) 13:19, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. We don't usually keep articles about academic subunits this small (more typical would be a mention as part of an article about a school within the university) unless there is something exceptional about the program, but the part in the article about it being only one of 19 nationwide tells me that in this case there isn't. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:54, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - New program; does not (yet) stand out among other similar programs, so not notable within the class of university biotech programs. --173.48.212.192 (talk) 14:48, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
