The result was no consensus. Note that after closing I'm going to move this to Endeavour College of Natural Health as it seems to be operating under this name now. Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:06, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

No evidence that this has any notability. It has been around for some years yet has failed to find a single independent reference. Fails WP:GNG. It doesn't even have a congruent title and content.  Velella  Velella Talk 17:18, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, there are no independent sources and it is not even clear what it is about. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  09:31, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment, quite straightforward actually, it was originally called The Australian College of Natural Medicine and is now called The Endeavour College of Natural Health, it has a cricos no. so provides courses to overseas students, look up the no. on the oz govt website and voila -, shows campuses, courses offered and so on. ps. as a tertiary institution this will most probably be kept (see college and uni notability).

 * A private higher education provider is not a university, nor a college. Nick-D (talk) 07:57, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Searching Google news for "Endeavour College of Natural Health" and "Australian College of Natural Medicine" produces only a handful of detailed stories on this institution, so WP:ORG isn't met. This "college" is one of many small scale private sector higher education providers in Australia, and is in no way comparable to a university. Nick-D (talk) 07:57, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 * doesn't have to be a uni, have a look at College (which is included in the "notability" blurb i referred to above} - (from the lead) "College (Latin: collegium) is an educational institution or a constituent part of one. A college may be a degree-awarding tertiary educational institution, a part of a collegiate university, or an institution offering vocational education." and from the oz subsection - "In Australia a college may be an institution of tertiary education that is smaller than a university, run independently or as part of a university.". i just mentioned that tertiary institutions (which is what this is) are mostly kept. i do, however, acknowledge that a gsearch doesn't bring up much at all.

 * keep but rename Endeavour College of Natural Health. As an accredited degree awarding institution per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. I'm not the biggest fan of this criteria but it's what we have. LibStar (talk) 16:17, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
