 * Keep. Verifiable tertiary educational institutions are generally held to be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:25, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a real institution. Whoever listed this is wasting people's time and should be told off. prat (talk) 21:08, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Whoever listed this thinks that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a listings directory, and has checked the notability guidelines for non-commercial organisations before nominating for deletion, including the need for "multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources."

 * Keep. Higher education orgs are almost always notable because they generate lots of third party coverage. There are plenty of independent and reliable (if a tad uninformative) sources in both English and Chinese (loads of higher education admission guides, Chinese govt sites regarding programs and credentials, magazine and journal articles on fashion shows its students participate in, other universities referring to their cooperations, that sort of stuff). I suspect nominator searched for "Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology", its old name, rather than "Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology", the new English name. An article name change may be in order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.9.157.202 (talk) 13:55, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Move and Redirect to Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, as that is its current name. The article should also be kept as this AfD continues to support the idea that accredited post-secondary educational institutions are notable.  I don't really think AfD is the right venue to challenge this consensus.  If the nominator requires a secondary source, here it is, where the school's designs were used in a fashion show in Beijing.
