Draft:Kimyo International University

  • Comment: I think it's likely this school passes notability standards. Please add a couple more sources and hopefully that should push it over the line. Feel free to post on my talk page once you think it's ready; I'll review the article and give feedback. I find the topic interesting so would like to see it eventually approved. grapesurgeon (talk) 15:03, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Have a look at WP:NORG - what we are missing here is a draft which is mainly led by independent reliable sources that describes the university. Most of the sources are direct to either the university or to the government, and nothing independent describing the university itself and in detail.
    You also can't use Wikipedia as a source, see WP:CIRCULAR.
    The tone used here is not a neutral description of a university, just look at any other university entry. At the moment the wording is just a load of buzzwords. ChrysGalley (talk) 11:16, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
