[edit] Comment

Hello Editors, First of all, I am open to any ideas on how to improve this article (please feel free)- this is my first go at an entry and have tried my best to stick to conventions and the various criteria for notability etc. Any feedback and advice is very much appreciated. The Careers Group, as stated in the article, is notable for its long history, dating back to 1909, and independent governance structure which answers to the University of London as a whole (in the same way as the University of London Research Library Services which has an article dedicated to it). I genuinely fail to see how the article amounts to advertising as, although they do charge for some services to employers, the vast majority of their work is free of charge to students. I am not writing this as a promotional activity- I do feel that it is a topic worthy of an article as explained above, as is the University of London. If anyone can find further references then please do add them. Furthermore, i did research what is already on the site about graduate recruitment and do not see a major difference between what I've written and the entry for Graduate Prospects, for example, or the (not related to recruitment) University of London Union (both of which are on here and not contested). Thank you. I look forward to your comments and advice. -- (Norman Cat 20:11, 26 September 2007 (UTC))

NB. Would removing the content about Users help? -- (Norman Cat 20:13, 26 September 2007 (UTC))
