 * Delete. Wikipedia does not host articles on individual university departments. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:41, 31 August 2016 (UTC).


 * As much as I appreciate what these scholars are doing, Wikipedia is not a web hosting service. Delete. See also this declined draft: Draft:Surrey Morphology Group. Cnilep (talk) 01:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. A search shows that members of this group have written articles that have been published in several academic journals and some books over a period of more than a decade. However, as noted in the previous draft review, there is a lack of coverage in reliable, independent sources, thus notability has not been established when judging this according to WP:ORGDEPTH.

 * Retain. First, let me say I'm a member of SMG, so I have an interest. SMG is a research group, not a university department. Given the types of entities which do appear in Wikipedia, including soap operas, it seems strange to want to block reference to a group which provides a lot of online resources for the research community and for amateur linguists alike. The page should serve as a pointer to those resources. AlphonseFG (talk) 09:03, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
