Comment: Just blatant advertising even after a re-write. Theroadislong (talk) 18:25, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Promotional. Review WP:PUFFERY microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 12:21, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Please stop submitting this article without significant improvement. CoconutOctopus talk 20:07, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Most of the coverage is written by Ritabrata Mukherjee who is a team member of the club, so this is not independent coverage. See WP:NORG. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 19:07, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Please see WP:REFB for advice on correct referencing using the preferred method of dynamic inline citations and footnotes. Now all the citations are piled on top of the page (apart from one, on the bottom), which doesn't make it clear which source supports what content and how much of this remains unsupported. DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:46, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: We need to see significant coverage of the club itself, not of some indirectly related matters, in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:45, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
