Delete: Further clarification on why I nominated this: This is a list of four Catholic universities in the US that the article's creator claims offer MFA programs. I believe this is directory-like information (WP:NOTDIRECTORY) that is too specific. Drilling down to the individual program level makes this like a catalog or a program guide, and on a related note, lists of individual degree offerings are discouraged on individual uni articles (WP:UNIGUIDE). In addition, after some searching, I was unable to find a comprehensive list of Catholic universities that offer MFA programs, and this information is not in the one reference on the page. Also, I am unsure how to best word this, but I think lists of this variety border on promotional--because it's not just a list of Catholic universities (perfectly fine) but a list of specific programs (products) that prospective students (customers) could pursue (buy). Finally, even if others believe the list should be kept, I take some issue with the way it is worded. If nothing else, it should be changed to something like "List of Master of Fine Arts Programs at Catholic Universities" or something. The university is what is Catholic; the degree is not.

- Note that per WP:DISCUSSAFD I have struck the formatted !vote in this comment as duplicative of the nomination. postdlf (talk) 23:04, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
delete as above, nothing notable enough about the program to have this list, and not enough to make a list. Deunanknute (talk) 21:41, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, arbitrary and misleading intersection. As the nominator notes, there's no such thing as a "Catholic Master of Fine Art", and there's no relationship between the degree-granting institution being Catholic and offering an MFA. postdlf (talk) 23:04, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - largely per Postdlf. Non-notable intersection between two entirely unrelated subjects. Korruski^Talk 14:14, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
