Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Fails WP:N and WP:ORG (note that it's an organization and not an academic institution). I can find no significant coverage by a reliable and independent source (see here and here). Also, please note that some of the sources in the Google search are posted on behalf of this organization. Ol Yeller Talktome 18:31, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Note Admin declined the A7 CSD saying that it might be notable.  The article made no indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content) but I respect him so I moved to an AfD.  Ol Yeller  Talktome 18:35, 25 May 2010 (UTC) 
 * Comment. Can the nominator please demonstrate that the 37 Google News hits, the 39 Google Books hits and the 71 Google Scholar hits for this organization are all trivial? Abductive  (reasoning) 23:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I would but I'm not getting all of those in my searches. Add some links and I'll check them out.  If I'm wrong, I'll close the AfD myself.  Ol Yeller  Talktome 00:35, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to see references and add them myself but again, this Google news search provides nothing, this Google search provides self published info from what I can find, and this Google Books search has lots of mentions that it exists but no significant coverage from what I can find. Please help me if you find something.  Ol Yeller  Talktome 03:36, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, take a look at, , and . Also, there might have been a name change.  Abductive  (reasoning) 08:58, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah! Ok. I'm headed out now but I'll take a look later this afternoon.  I'd appreciate any help others could provide in adding references.  Ol Yeller  Talktome 15:25, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Very Week Keep : I think that the Times Higher Education shows clear coverage, the others are less so. But the article it's self is poor, and if it stays the list under The a typical CUMU member institution has several characteristics: should go as un-sourced, possibly OR and just un-encyclopaedic.
