Non-notable institution. 10 of 12 sources are Google translate pages for the actual institution's home page-- i.e. 10 of 12 sources are self-published. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 19:52, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep. Tertiary institutions are automatically eligible for inclusion. I don't think we can expect the media to place news items on the history and course offerings of a school, which is the substance of what an encyclopedia publishes. I'm not clear on what we need to verify through further independent sources, which are demanded only to verify existence and support boasting.Jzsj (talk) 20:43, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Relevant policies are at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. I see nothing significant in news or book sources. My sense is also that this is a subsidiary of the "Our Lady of..." university that is mentioned as the actual institution that grants the degrees.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 21:31, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as a degree-awarding institution per longstanding precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:20, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Institutions of higher learning are assumed to be notable. One would have to prove this is a sham, but it is clearly not a sham, it is a respected institution of higher learning. Maybe not super respected, but it is a real institution and so we keep the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:00, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
