Speedy keep This is an accredited university. ElKevbo (talk) 13:43, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Seriously? This is an independenly accredited degree-granting university. Also, lots of newscoverage of it, and other sources as well. ~~E.g. this book is specifically about the history of this university.~~ Passes WP:GNG and WP:ORG, by a mile. What's the deal with this nomination? Nsk92 (talk) 11:04, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It is an accredited university, strange that it does not have more coverage. // Timothy :: talk 11:19, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as has significant coverage such as a dedicated book on the subject and other reliable sources. It is common consensus that degree giving institutions of higher education are included as per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 20:27, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that we should keep all articles on real, accredited universities, but please let's not use a book that is self-published via iUniverse to support that case. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:42, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, sorry, that was my bad, I did not look closely enough to see that the book was self-published. Striking that part of my original comment. Nsk92 (talk) 22:10, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While this article needs some attention to NPOV issues, I've listed on its talk page multiple clippings about the college, its historical policies on student dancing (against, then ok with it), student alcohol use (against), faculty and staff alcohol use (against, then okay, alright, banning is "Biblically indefensible"), gambling and casinos (against)-- but also a few clippings about interesting classroom work like copying scripture verses on vellum using quills, for example. Of the 900+ newspapers.com hits, I was surprised to find only a handful that were substantive on the University's programs, and not much on the history or finances-- but lots of routine sports coverage and the usual number of brides/grooms who attended there, and LOTS of ads placed by the university. But there was enough substantive coverage to more than pass GNG. Chees! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 23:28, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
