Does not appear to pass WP:ORG, and I am not seeing evidence of notability separate from the parent institution. The sole non-primary ref in the article [1], a news story from Guardian, does not mention the institute at all. Nothing of substance in GNews, GBooks and GScholar searches. The page was prodded and deprodded twice since its creation in June 2019. In the current state the article is pretty promotional and WP:ORish. Already had to be revel-ed once, due to copyvio issues.

Merge and redirect to parent institution Atlantic306 (talk) 20:54, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If it's not still a copyvio, it sure reads like one. I'd be uncomfortable with merging content written in that style and supported by sourcing of such low quality. XOR'easter (talk) 00:02, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, my feelings exactly. The only references cited that actually mention the institute are primary non-independent sources. The page itself reads like a PR piece. I am not seeing anything in the page that is merge-worthy. Nsk92 (talk) 20:37, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
