- Delete This article has existed since 2011, but at no time has it had refs other than UCL. If there are references that can support notability, best path might be to copy the content to offline, let it be deleted, and then start fresh, restoring only that content that can be supported by independent, reliable source references (see WP:42).

- Comment there may be some mileage for an article on the general concept of these preparatory courses, as UCL are not the only people in the business. We already have INTO University Partnerships, which is about a commercial organisation that partners with universities to provide what I think is a similar service.

- The general article for these is Foundation Programme. This is currently a rather short article but could be expanded. Robminchin (talk) 20:44, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- That article is currently talking about a totally different course. It's a highly problematic title as there are Foundation Programmes for almost everything, at every level. You're right it could be generalised, but it runs the risk of becoming too general or turning into a dictionary definition. Elemimele (talk) 11:42, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
