University of Michigan Institute for Social Research

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Deprodded R.Haworth's prod, and sending it here for discussion. I think this might be one of the exceptions to the general rule that institutes such as these are not notable--it does seem to be one of the major institute in its field at the world level. Needs citations on impact of its publications.  DGG ( talk ) 23:41, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. "It is the premier center for survey research methodology in the world. There are no close seconds." The article does need a lot of work, but that's no reason to delete it. --Avenue (talk) 02:11, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems notable enough, esp. per the reference given by Avenue. Drmies (talk) 17:10, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Avenue's quote strongly indicates notability, but take a look at the whole LA Times article: that one citation alone would provide enough independent material for a verifiable page. The second page may be more useful than the first. DeliciousBits (talk) 08:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nom was correct to deprod. References are needed, but notability does not seem to be an issue here. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 03:42, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
