I couldn't establish that this meets WP:ORG or WP:GNG. It should be notable but that needs evidence. It has been in CAT:NN for 14 years; hopefully we can now resolve this. Boleyn (talk) 12:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found two sources that may meet the requirement of GNG, one from the biography of the former president (as part of the biography series for some academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering), another from Journal of Sichuan Normal University (it's a different university and not affliated with Sichuan University, which this college belongs to)

"Wu Yuzhang College requires students to complete undergraduate courses within two and a half years, exchange abroad for one year, and then return to school to complete their graduation thesis.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools, which says:
All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria. (See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES)

  The article notes: "昨（29）日下午，四川首个荣誉学院———吴玉章学院正式在四川大学挂牌成立，川大校长谢和平将出任吴玉章学院荣誉院长，他在挂牌仪式上介绍说，四川大学将从进入该校的学生中选拔出优秀者进入该学院学习。而学生则可享受自选专业的“优待”。 ... 此次吴玉章学院将把四川大学的创新班和联合班合并，学院性质为荣誉学院，管理权直接归属学校，与其他学院平行，... 学校将每年从全国报考四川大学的高分考生及保送生中通过考试选拔产生学院学生，每年招生人数约占学校招生总数的1.5%，学院规模总体不超过1000人。"
  From Google Translate: "Yesterday (29th) afternoon, Sichuan’s first honors college, Wu Yuzhang College, was officially established at Sichuan University. Xie Heping, president of Sichuan University, will serve as the honorary dean of Wu Yuzhang College. It was introduced at the listing ceremony that Sichuan University will select outstanding students from the students entering the school to study in the college. Students can enjoy "preferential treatment" in their chosen major. ... This time Wu Yuzhang College will merge the innovative classes and joint classes of Sichuan University. The college will be an honors college, with management rights directly vested in the school, parallel to other colleges. ... The school will select college students through examinations every year from high-scoring candidates and recommended students who apply for Sichuan University across the country. The annual enrollment accounts for about 1.5% of the school's total enrollment. The overall size of the college does not exceed 1,000 students."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Wu Yuzhang Honors College (simplified Chinese: 吴玉章学院; traditional Chinese: 吳玉章學院) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
