If someone posted an article with the title "MBA at New York University", which consisted of generic information true of MBA programs anywhere along with specifics about the curriculum and the tuition, I suspect it would be deleted on the grounds the "Wikipedia is not your student course catalog". What this school offers isn't different from an MBA in international business; it says as much in the first paragraph. But because they've given it a different name, they've given the impression that even as a generic thing it's different and merits its own article. I disagree, and I believe it amounts to a pitch for the college's international MBA program along with catalog-type information. What do you all think? —Largo Plazo (talk) 05:23, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm also noticing that as long as it's been there, while not tagged as such, the article has no references other than the university's own publications. —Largo Plazo (talk) 05:29, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A slight reassessment: since the name of the school isn't included in the article's title, a better analogy would be creating an article titled "Master of Business Administration" that deals only with the MBA program at one school. It may be that no other school uses this article's title as the name of any of the degrees it awards, but that gets back to my original point about this being, despite the name, nothing more than an MBA, and it seems odd that it should merit a separate article just because the name is different. —Largo Plazo (talk) 05:34, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm not finding significant coverage in reliable secondary sources - just the primary source coverage from the article. It does indeed look like a promotional piece based on a variant name. Nwlaw63 (talk) 13:54, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete on the basis of the nom's arguments. We have normally deleted articles like this on idiosyncratic program titles. DGG ( talk ) 01:59, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
