Promotional article that does not establish the notability of its subject; sources are either affiliated or pertain to some research project of this institute, without describing the institute itself in any depth. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 15:20, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete sources are mainly primary and as it stands looks like some promo for the unit. Fails WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 10:37, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weal keep -- This is on a university department, offering certain post-graduate degrees, probably ones that have few equaivalents elsewhere. A lot of the staff are notable enough to have articles, which points to some notability. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:25, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sources are either primary or do not mention the unit. Individual departments seldom have independent notability and this "small and specialized" one seems no exception. The long lists of programs and staff seem like the department using Wikipedia to tell the world about itself; that is not what an encyclopedia is for. JohnCD (talk) 21:42, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to The Bartlett#The_Development_Planning_Unit_.28DPU.29. The standalone article is not notable, but there is some material in the history section which could usefully be added to the The Bartlett. The detailed info on each course is too detailed to be retained. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:28, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
