This article's history of COI editing casts its neutrality in serious doubt. Suggest again redirecting to Tiffin University. —rybec 06:32, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The problem isn't neutrality (that can be fixed), it's notability (that can't). Redirect per nom, and salt the redirect page if there is a problem with people restoring the article. We do recognize degree granting institutions, but this isn't one; "The College awards its graduates degrees through Tiffin University" according to the article. And in a Yahoo News reference that I found, it is referred to as "Ivy Bridge College of Tiffin University." --MelanieN (talk) 03:02, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I notice that the information about the college is already in the Tiffin University article (I trimmed a little of the puffery), so a merge isn't necessary. And if we need further evidence that the place is not independent or notable on its own, notice its web address: http://ivybridge.tiffin.edu . --MelanieN (talk) 03:06, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - neutrality questions are best dealt with by careful editing. The question of notability is what is pertinent. This is undoubtedly a constituent college of Tiffin University. However, that doesn't mean that there can't be a separate article, we decide on such colleges on a case by case basis. Some colleges, and faculties for that matter, are merged into their parent university and some have their own pages. In this case this College does seem to have enough reliable sources coverage to stand up notability and there are more sources that can be added. (Interestingly, it is better sourced than its parent university!) On balance, therefore, 'Keep' seems justified. The Whispering Wind (talk) 23:15, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
