I'll be taking this review.

Opening comments

• The lead doesn't sufficiently summarise the article; it focusses on some things and not others (WP:LEAD).
• The article is written in English (as a second language?) that is wrong in tone – the article needs a copy-edit. I suggest finding another editor to do this or ask the guild (requests).
• Some parts of the article are rather short, but I'll flag those up later. On hold pending the copyedit and later additions. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 17:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Update

I can see you've listed the article for a copyedit; however, on review I do think that there are large amounts of information missing in the article. I looked for articles for comparison and I think University of the Philippines Los Baños is a good fit. You can see how the successive sections - which are quite comparable between articles in terms of how the content has been divided – Academia, Student life, research people - ought to be threshed out. I've marked a couple of sections in "history" that need expansion, but they could be merged together and each expanded to a paragraph. Generally the other sections are short and this is a concern under the criteria. I'm going away for a week and will review progress after. As a guide, I think the overall length of the article could be as much as doubled; at least 50% more is necessary to give the reader enough information on the topic (we shall see).

There hasn't been a significant movement on the issues surrounding the article. I don't want to put the nominator or others off the task, which helps to counteract Wikipedia's bias, but I am failing the article at this stage. Failing is entirely non-prejudicial, with the effect that once the above issues have been addressed – whether this takes days, weeks, or months, the article can be renominated.
