The article primarily indicates a connection between four distinct universities in Belgium. At present, the article doesn't cite any sources, and I couldn't quickly find reliable secondary sources, though they may be available elsewhere. Based on my review, I don't believe this article passes WP:ORG. Significa liberdade (talk) 03:11, 23 September 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Weak delete I've found three additional Dutch language, "possibly" reliable sources about the association (other than the organization's own webpage). The first is a description of AUGent on Ghent University's homepage . The second is a political science paper on Semantic Scholar that seems to be about the association but only has its abstract available . The third is a document coauthored by Ghent University and HoGent . However, there are two issues. First, I don't speak Dutch. My evaluation of these sources was based on Google Translate, which isn't very trustworthy. It would be best if we could get a Dutch speaking editor here. Second, even based on my not-very-reliable evaluation of these sources, the third source's reliability is very doubtful, and the second source, at least before we can find the paper itself, provides not much more information other than showing that the association exists. Consequently, I'm currently leaning more towards delete. Liu1126 (talk) 04:48, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
