This article is clearly self-authored with a complete lack of reliable sources and overall uses advertisment-like wording. It's a for-profit university in the small country of Cyprus with little notability and not many reliable neutral sources to learn about its activity. Also, looking at the edit history its obvious that many exaggerations or complete falsehoods were edited out, but many still remain. I propose the article's deletion. Perhaps it can be rewritten if/when someone presents reliable sources. Gnkgr (talk) 09:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is quite clear here: "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions have enough coverage to be notable, although that coverage may not be readily available online." Just because Cyprus is little don't mean you can pick on it. In fact, you could argue quite compellingly that the centrality and therefore notability of the institution is enhanced by the small size of the state it serves - particularly as it has over 12,000 students and is recognised as the largest university in the country...

The claim that University of Nicosia is the largest in the country is part of the institution's marketing but has been refuted. Gnkgr (talk) 14:49, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is a fully-fledged university and we always keep those. Comments like It's a for-profit university in the small country of Cyprus beggar belief. So what? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a real university, though the article reads like a corporate brochure and the unreferenced material should be cut, even as that would make it a couple of paragraphs - David Gerard (talk) 12:03, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets notability guidelines for Schools. I would do a clean up of less pertinent info, but keep for sure. Lethweimaster (talk) 12:52, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
