This article is about a single department of a university. There is nothing to demonstrate that it has received sufficient independent coverage for inclusion per WP:ORG. The only independent coverage concerns the use of the department by the American Olympic team in 2012, but I do not think this is sufficient for inclusion. If it was we would end up with articles about every university sports dept in the UK. SmartSE (talk) 12:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - as above, plus the article content - including with regard to the Olympics - is almost entirely reproduced in the main article for the university. - Sitush (talk) 16:24, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Per WP:OUTCOMES "Departments or degree programs within a university, college, or school are generally not considered notable unless they have made significant contributions to their field... or produced a number of notable graduates." I do not find the significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources to suggest that this is an exception. JohnCD (talk) 14:47, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
