The result was delete. I gave User:Equanimous1's comment somewhat reduced weight; they are the creator and major contributor to the list, and looking at their contribution history, it's obvious they have an extremely narrow focus on physical therapy topics. Neither of those things are bad, but indicate that they may not have a completely dispassionate view. -- RoySmith (talk) 11:40, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:SSEFAR and WP:LISTN. While individual physical therapy schools are components of universities and colleges, and might not be considered notable apart from the college, as a group they are notable. Almost all of these provide doctorate-level degrees (there is one exception). This is not mere advertising or promotion. Many are prestigious universities with highly-regarded physical therapy programs. Certainly remove any unaccredited school that is sneaked into the list, but otherwise this seems a notable and worthwhile addition to WP, in the same way that we include lists of engineering schools, medical schools, law schools, pharmacy schools and so on.

Keep This is silly. There are lists of several different types of schools on wikipedia. The general public is likely to look for a list of those schools and one would expect for wikipedia to have a list of such schools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Equanimous1 (talk • contribs) 01:25, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia is NOT a directory nor is it an enrolment guide. It is an encyclopedia. Ajf773 (talk) 03:17, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NOTDIRECTORY and no evidence that WP:LISTN is satisfied. Exemplo347 (talk) 20:34, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- WP:PROMO (with all the ext links) and WP:LISTN failure. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:13, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing here suggests WP:LISTN and the structure looks like WP:PROMO. Triptothecottage (talk) 01:50, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
