Social Policy, University of Salford

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by WP:SPA creator User:Bokjihak. The article still contains no references that show notability of this department. University departments are rarely notable, and this one despite many footnotes contains refs only to its own website, and other refs are just exernal links to faculty publications or off topic sources about teaching and social work in general. Oh, and don't forget pasted-from-homepage sections like "Student Profiles" or "Careers", and language like "Our graduates use their Social Policy degree...". Who wants to bet this was written by the department secretary or temporary student assistant to one? Sigh. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:06, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
