I struggled to find any sourcing that would indicate this program is notable. It consists all of namedrops and passing mentions. There are a lot of programs under similar names. For instance, this seems to be a different program than is cited in the article, as does this and this, but none of them seem to meet WP:GNG. THe trove id contains links to promising sources, but all are offline and seem to have been published before 2006 (when this program was allegedly created). This page was redirected to Western Sydney University by AleatoryPonderings, but I am taking to AFD because I found no indication that the program even merits a mention at that university's page (it currently isn't mentioned there at all).

  • Comment. I am not opposed to outright deletion, per the detailed nom above. Wanted to note that doi:10.1080/07293682.1998.9657821 also looked promising, but it's apparently about a different institute (unless this one was moved to Western Sydney University circa 2006?)

    • Different institutions. ANU is in Canberra, Nugget Coombs directed that first program. UWS (now Western Sydney University) is in Parramatta, in a different state, and it is not the same program. -- Whiteguru (talk) 11:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Might be a promising source, but it's by a professor in the Urban Research Program, so I don't think we can consider it establishing notability, unfortunately. And, yes, I think almost definitely they are different organizations. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 12:33, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • 'Comment' i feel its a good article but when it comes to the content it is short. it should be added so that people don't have to jump between pages to get more informationAuthor Sanju (talk) 14:34, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Stifle (talk) 09:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Insufficient references to establish the program - or any notability at UWS -- Whiteguru (talk) 11:14, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
