Your submission at Articles for creation: Department of Economics (University of Zurich) (March 28)

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment they left was:

Very few individual academic departments have ever been considered notable at WP. In practice, the criterion is world-famous--one of the top 2 or 3 departments in that subject in the world. There is no evidence that Zurich qualifies for this. There are no third party sources saying this. That's hardly surprising, as it only started giving the doctorate in 2009, seven years ago. The Handlesblatt data is a primary source, and its use here is selective, indicating the reason why we do not accept primary sources for notability--Looking at the actual table, there are a number of different criteria in the table, and the article here selected the ones that show best. The source gives an overall ranking, and that ranks the department 6th in the country for 2015, not 1st. (And it's down 1 rank from 2013 and 2011, when it was 5th--not that the difference is significant

Looking at our formal criterion, WP:GNG, I see no substantial third party sources at all. It therefore does not come near meeting the GNG, and would almost certainly be deleted if it were an article.

This promotionally written article (which contained unencyclopedic external links to information about admissions, and an unencyclopedic full list of faculty, notable or not, until I removed those sections), says it "aims to assume a globally leading role in economic research." When it has unequivocally done so, there will be opportunity for an article. We sometimes call this situation not yet notable.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
