Result: Delisted as failing criterion 2; lengthy reworking needed. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:30, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2007 listing not up to standard, with many unsourced paragraphs, possibly verging on OR. On a related note, the university has many sub-articles which may fail WP:NFACULTY. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:15, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist - Yeaaaah, this article is really bad. Doubt anyone will go out of their way to save this. Even if they do, it would likely take a very long time, longer than what GAR should go for. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:26, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. Fails criteria 2b, University_of_Houston#Campus's campus layout section appears to be basically unsourced, so is University of Houston#Student life which has statistics such as house 1,100 students that are unsourced, this section similar has problematic unsourced statistics, including which has won 16 NCAA National Championships; the women's soccer team, which was rated as the top first-year women's program in the country in 1998. The Notable people section is additionally deficiently sourced and clearly fails criteria 2b, additionally, the article also has three valid citation needed tags. IMO this is somewhat difficult to salvage but if anyone addresses these concerns please ping me. Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 09:38, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
