Draft:HKU Knowledge Exchange Office

  • Comment: The articles from Wen Wei Po, Sing Tao Daily, and Tai Kung Pao discuss knowledge transfer initiatives at universities in Hong Kong in general, with only glancing mentions of the subject. The subject's involvement in the three research projects referenced is not specified. The rest are primary sources. I have conducted a thorough search but found no other usable sources, and I think it is impossible for the subject to pass GNG. I would recommend that the page creator merge any relevant content into suitable sections of the University of Hong Kong article. Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 03:03, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
