Talk:Science Policy Research Unit

The citations are placed in strange places (in headlines) because the page is being deleted without them.

Headings are still not the correct place for citations, so I moved them to the end of each section. Also, please note that all of the citations are to a single source - the SPRU website. While that source may be ok to support basic facts, That is not a reliable source to demonstrate notability per WP:N or WP:GNG. You need to cite significant coverage in sources independent of the subject. – ukexpat (talk) 14:01, 6 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
I have added two new references (2 and 5) from independent sources, which I think shows the notability of SPRU. DO you think we can drop the 'notability' issue? I will also go on editing the entry to reflect SPRU's current structure and focus, relying, whenever possible, on sources other than SPRU website. Caepenna (talk) 18:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal: Harvard Sussex Program to here edit

Harvard Sussex Program doesn't seem to meet WP:NOTABILITY, but could be a useful section here. Harvard Sussex Program has been tagged for notability for 7 years. Boleyn (talk) 06:53, 31 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
