Procedural nomination on behalf of Cwmhiraeth; AfD was malformed. XOR'easter (talk) 21:20, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The UHCL Physics Program seems unique in that it started at the graduate level and not the undergraduate level like most similar programs. In addition, the program graduated several astronauts according to it's online history. I plan to add more of these details. Dxg1975 (talk) 16:37, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Unsourced, non-notable division of a larger, notable organization. Even if properly sourced, producing a few astronauts would not satisfy the WP:GNG guidelines for continuing independent coverage. erc ^{talk/contribs} 21:32, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. A program within a department within a university does not have standalone notability. Fails WP:GNG. --Kinu ^t/_c 07:21, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Departments aren't typically notable, much less individual programs. This is no exception. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:54, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The article has been expanded, but the added material was a copyright violation. The substance of this article would have to be rewritten from scratch, even if the notability case were established, and I don't think it is. (I am honestly a little regretful about that; as a physicist, I think that documenting how physics education works is important. But the sourcing for this is just not sufficient.) Anything that can be said about this program can go into the article University of Houston–Clear Lake. XOR'easter (talk) 17:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
