Comment: There are signs of AI usage, which needs to stop per WP:NEWLLM. In addition there remains no secondary coverage of the college in line with the requirements of WP:NORG. There needs to be good quality sources, that are totally independent of the college, giving significant coverage of the college. ChrysGalley (talk) 08:19, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
