Bethel Bible College & Seminary (Troy, Alabama)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

For-profit educational organization, not accredited by the United States Department of Education judging from a DAPIP search, but accredited by Transworld Accrediting Commission International (article deleted in 2008 under G11), one of the many unrecognized higher education accreditation organizations in the US. The article was initially sourced entirely to the organization's own web-page and searches for sources brought about local mention only. Based on these observations I PRODed the article:DGG dePRODed the article with the reason:I have since added this source, an interview in the local Troy Messenger; article still fails NCORP.

 * Delete. "We almost always keep colleges" is outcome based and does not address the notability issues at hand. I could not find an independent source covering the college except for the Troy Messenger source; to assert notability we need multiple independent sources.

 * Delete we keep most colleges because they are accredited and impactful. This is a local Church that put together a prgram to give degrees in divity, within a tradtion that does not put a premium on standards of education for ministers. If we had more 3rd party sources it would be keepable, but not every fly by night basement seminary is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:45, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
