Question - What is the rationale for deletion? There is none stated and although the article could use some sourcing, its out there and the College appears to be notable.--Mike Cline (talk) 16:15, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Mike Cline that there is no need to delete the NCPAG article. I read the article. Everything there is documented and reasonably presented, including the achievements and valid criticisms of NCPAG and its objectives and academic programs. I would just retain it the way the article is currently written and presented. I see no reason to further edit, revise or delete it.Hellerm234 (talk) 20:38, 7 March 2010 (UTC)— Hellerm234 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Keep. Appears to pass WP:Notability requirements. May need additional work, but does not meet WP:Deletion policy criteria for deletion. AkankshaG (talk) 21:23, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as a degree-awarding institution. However, contrary to what the SPA says above, the various assertions/criticisms need sourcing or cleaning up. TerriersFan (talk) 03:30, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep It is not an actual independent degree=granting institution regardless of what the first line in the article says. . It is, according to the article, a part of University of the Philippines, Dellman, and no more independent than any other part or institute of that university. But a School of Business, or Administration, can be important enough to be independently notable; some, though not all such schools are. The question is whether this is, and I am inclined to say yes, though this is the sort of thing that is difficult to be sure. It does not have a place in the university template at the bottom,if it is independent, it would go in the second group of Satellite units. The article will need considerable rewriting to clarify and reduce duplication. DGG ( talk ) 17:17, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I queried the apparent nominator Marianov a few days ago and finally got this reply on his talk page.--Mike Cline (talk) 10:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - it's very Philippines-centric only. it's not notable enough outside the Philippines. Zollerriia63 (talk) 17:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Notability in the Philippines is enough. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:23, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I dropped by this page in passing and reviewed the article, where I found this text: " ... Yet, it continues to play second-fiddle to the College of Business Administration of the University of the Philippines ... " I can't tell if the article is serious, tongue-in-cheek, or if there's some subtle vandalism going on. TreacherousWays (talk) 17:27, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
