Non-notable. Sources cited are regurgitations of a press release regarding a single event (company acquisition), and a search finds nothing better, just social media accounts etc. Fails WP:GNG / WP:CORP. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:45, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I agree that Education Dynamics has not been written about very often. But it has a near-monopoly over its function in the online education business. Online education is expanding quite a bit. The new administration at the Education Dept. is less forgiving of some of the excesses of the for-profit education sector, and many of the problems are related to recruitment, enrollment management and student loans. So my feeling is that the company is notable. On the other hand the article is an orphan, the lack of links does argue for non-notable. And finding good references has been difficult. It doesn't help that Springer publishes a book series Higher Education Dynamics.) So it might be reasonable to delete the article. And if the company becomes more obviously notable in the future it can be restored. -- M.boli (talk) 18:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Update: Seeing all the good work that @CollegeMeltdown: has done, it is much more clear to me that the company is notable and the article should be kept. M.boli (talk) 22:42, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to closer for soft deletion: This nomination has had limited participation and falls within the standards set for lack of quorum. There are no previous AfD discussions, undeletions, or current redirects and no previous PRODs have been located. This nomination may be eligible for soft deletion at the end of its 7-day listing. --Cewbot (talk) 00:02, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So far two editors oppose deletion and one editor supports it. I read the "lack of quorum" policy as saying few responses with no opposition. M.boli (talk) 02:24, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep I don't think that any of the independent sources are solely focused on this one company but the number of authors who believe it necessary to discuss this company in articles convinces me that it's probably (barely) notable by our standards.
