List article which merely refects the website of a non-notable accreditation body. Article was restored following a PROD. There's no evidence of wider interest in the subject, or the Council. Wikipedia isn't free web-hosting. Time for it to go or, if the accrediting body proves to be notable in the future, it could be added there. Sionk (talk) 12:16, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This feels like a COI–PROMO situation. The article has been put up for several deletions (WP:G8, WP:A7 and Prod), but keeps returning. The accrediting entity is not WP notable Council on Naturopathic Medical Education, and the single reference CNME is PROMO. There is even a Category:Naturopathic medical schools accredited by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education, and some of the institutions listed seem very questionable (e.g. Bastyr University). I think somebody is using WP to give credibility to their business. Britishfinance (talk) 13:14, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (Article author) - Lol at the tagging with both a PROMO and COI. I prefer that the topic go through AFD, rather than through PROD/CSD. And yes, the institutions listed may appear questionable...this is naturopathy...but that doesn't impact relevance or notability. The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education is the accreditation arm of the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (the accredited schools that allow Naturopaths to get licensed and practice in certain states). Also, the log only shows the page was deleted once.GobsPint (talk) 16:57, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the Lol is that the above comment was only your 48th edit in WP; hence the additional UDP concern. Britishfinance (talk) 17:34, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
