Non-notable unaccredited college lacking in-depth, non-trivial support. Appears to fail WP:NSCHOOL. reddogsix (talk) 19:09, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Worth An Article: THis school has been growing silently for sometime and has ties with a very radical far right movement. I think it needs to stay for awhile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supercopone (talk • contribs) 19:58, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Supercopone: can you provide third party citations to back up this claim, or anything else in the article? See general notability guidelines. From what I can see, the only sources covering the college are the college itself, YouTube videos, and unreliable blog posts. Also, please sign your comments by adding four tildes (~~~~). Thanks. --Animalparty! (talk) 20:32, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Fails WP:GNG. A Google search didn't turn up a single reliable source, which means this information is not verifiable. Bradv 20:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I can't source it either. Fails WP:NSCHOOL.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:01, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as failing to satisfy WP:GNG, WP:ORG, and WP:NSCHOOL. No suitable article for redirect or merging, as the parent organization, Young Earth Creationists ministry, appears to be little more than a group with a website, a camp, and a college (ostensibly), but the website seems to consist mostly of vague mission statements and requests for donations rather than real, verifiable information. --Animalparty!

  • Delete Fundamental WP:V failure. Bakazaka (talk) 02:25, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Lack of available sourcing to meet notability guidelines. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 05:00, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep -- This is a very small college. The lack of fees charged must mean that some one (who?) is subsidising it heavily, unless the three staff are moonlighting from other jobs. I do not support the Young Earth Creation theory, but it seems to be a widely held FRINGE theory. This makes me wonder if it may be useful to keep the article to expose what it is.

    Can you find proof this "college" even exists? Bradv 15:44, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Young Earth creationism article already exists, so people looking for theories can go there, and I'm sure there are schools/programs/organizations that support research into this. This particular school still has yet to be notable either as a school or an organization. There are many other educational and Christian camps that have presence on yelp and social media and are not notable enough for Wikipedia. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:33, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as test website. The only information about the organization Young Earth Creationists, Christ Camp Project, and Creation Science College is the website itself. The Christ Camp Project has a copyright year of 2023. None of the degrees they offer have any useful information about who teaches the classes and the subjects listed at the Masters section look like individual lectures rather than full courses. [1] The Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube links in the corner go to Wix. Tuition verbiage reads: "Right now there is no tuition for any degree programs. Enroll, take as many courses as you would like. If you meet the requirements to graduate simple complete the form and a review will be conducted. " [2] There's not even literature about the classes or WHERE to take them. This seriously looks like someone making up a fictional website to practice making web pages. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:03, 13 August 2018 (UTC) updated 00:39, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've noticed the blog has been active the past few days asking for money and help [3] [4], so this looks more like a startup organization, per WP:ORG still lacking in secondary sources. Too soon to be notable here and would be strongly self-promotional if kept. Striking above verbiage about it being a test website. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:39, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why? If you have material that supports its notability, you should post it here. Please see WP:PRIMETIME AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:35, 15 August
