MRC Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The main institute is notable, the subdivisions, such as this one, are not. Our practice is to not make articles on institutes within departments within medical schools. We don't usually make for medical school or university departments either, but perhaps the main Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at, King's College London is notable enough for that--I am not nominating it for deletion at this time. But going further does not seem appropriate. Having articles such as this and the adjacent AfD seems like a PR effort for the University  DGG ( talk ) 23:46, 23 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - Medical Research Council (MRC) is a publicly funded government agency in the UK, and this (SGDP) is an MRC centre based at the University (instead of an institute within department within a school/faculty). Actually, many MRC centres have their own articles (see, for example, Edinburgh's Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine and MRC Human Genetics Unit, and Cambridge's MRC Cancer Unit). (This is my first discussion so sorry if I do this incorrectly.)--Chanpeter (talk) 19:16, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I do not understand it quite that way. It is indeed sponsored by MRC and is one of their centers, but it seems to operate as one of the units of Kings Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience.  DGG ( talk ) 06:07, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - I agree with DGG's understanding of the normal practice, and I can't see any reason that the default practice should not apply. Thparkth (talk) 17:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - So Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine, MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit, MRC Human Genetics Unit, MRC Cancer Unit, etc. should have been deleted if there is a "normal practice"? They (1) ARE operated as one of the units of uni as well; (2) do not have any additional citations. I don't mean those articles should be deleted, but, isn't this double standard? --Chanpeter (talk) 17:06, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
