 * Redirect to Central Philippine University - No evidence to suggest that the individual colleges are notable in and of themselves - though feel free to provide sources proving me wrong. Thanks. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 17:12, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - practice is to keep law and medical schools and this is a particularly notable one in view of its history and ground-breaking work on the Juris Doctor degree. TerriersFan (talk) 19:14, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment The being the first to offer the Juris Doctor degree claim is actually dubious or downright false. A check at another Philippine law school article claims it offered JD as early as 1991, way earlier than 2012 (as stated in the nominated article). Xeltran (talk) 20:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep; I'm in agreement with TerriersFan that separate articles are justified for law/medical schools. Such colleges are special in that they are exclusively devoted to terminal graduate degrees. I don't care one way or another that the college was the first to confer a JD instead of bachelor in law.  That's essentially nomenclature.  For what it's worth, I'm not sure without further investigation that there's a conflict between this article and Atenoe's.  This article says it's the first JD "approved by Philippine legal education board"; Ateneo says it is the "first law school in the Philippines to offer the J.D.", which may or may not be the same.  To be sure, this article needs a whole lot of cleanup, but AFD is not for cleanup. TJRC (talk) 21:37, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, agree with analysis that this sort of specialized graduate school educational institution should warrant its own separate independent article with accompanying secondary sources. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 13:04, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
