| Submission declined on 28 October 2024 by Lemonaka (talk). This submission appears to be taken from https://www.ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/about-0. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Declined by Lemonaka 2 months ago.

Comment: Wikipedia requires organisations and companies to meet the criteria for notability. Notability cannot be inherited from the academics involved in this organisation: the org itself would have to be a valid subject, separately from each person as a subject. The Gatsby has not received significant coverage of its activities or accomplishments within multiple, reliable secondary sources, so it fails the primary notability criteria (WP:ORGCRIT). This subject has had drafts declined several times now and I have carried out a WP:BEFORE check for additional sources, so this will be a rejection. arcticocean ■ 09:48, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (also called simply the Gatsby Unit for short) is an academic research organization within University College London. The unit is located in the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) in Fitzrovia, in central London. It is supported by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation[1] and is closely associated with the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre[2]. Researchers at the Gatsby Unit study theoretical neuroscience, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial Intelligence research company DeepMind was founded at the Gatsby Unit[3]
History
[edit]The Gatsby Unit was established in 1998[4] with Geoffrey Hinton[5][6], Peter Dayan[7], Li Zhaoping[8] and Zoubin Ghahramani[9]. Founding director Geoffrey Hinton is a Turing Award winner (2018) and Nobel Prize in Physics laureate (2024).
Research at the Gastby Unit
[edit]Research at the Gatsby Unit encompasses theoretical and computational neuroscience, computational statistics, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. These research threads are drawn together by the unit's focus on the mathematical foundations of adaptive intelligent behaviour.[10]
