Non-notable subfaculty at the University of Toronto. See WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES: "Faculties, departments or degree programs within a university, college, or school are generally not considered notable unless they have made significant contributions to their field." Medical schools and law schools are mostly exempt due to usually being separate from the "main" school, so to speak. This just appears to be a subunit of U of T that may be an above-average biomedical engineering institute but hasn't really met the criteria for its own article. On the GNG front I haven't been able to find any third party sources that even mention this faculty after Binging "institute of Biomedical Engineering" u of t. All of the sources are affiliated with the university in some way. The best I could find was a press release from an affiliated company. [1] Much of the article appears to be written by someone affiliated with the university (username Bmeuoft) [2] so take the unsourced claims made in the article about the institute's importance with a grain of salt.

Delete We had a similar discussion for the Computer Science dept of U of T a while ago. This one is even less notable, GScholar brings up mentions of the faculty mostly as titles of where authors work. Nothing notable. Oaktree b (talk) 02:08, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The way the article is written is so dodgy and definitely feels non-objective, bad sourcing, fails GNG and BASIC bop34 • talk • contribs 04:56, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
