Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article is a blatant promotion of a non-notable list with the explicit goal of self-promotion of colleges and universities. None of the references are drawn from reliable unbiased secondary sources in news articles.

Notability requires /substantial/ coverage in secondary unbiased sources.

It's not enough that the patron schools are talking about it, other relatively important news agencies must also be talking about it. I did a cursory search, and couldn't find anything. The only thing around are various forum posts asking if this list is a "scam." Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 21:23, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
