Neutral I am listing this as another editor wasn't able to list this properly on AfD. The reason for the PROD was "fails the general notability guideline" Travelbird (talk) 10:08, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep, colleges of all sorts are notable. Nyttend (talk) 19:44, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I believe high schools are generally considered to be de facto notable and as a college this would be notable. OSbornarfcontribs. 19:48, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep While California has some relatively low state accreditation standards for colleges, this still appears to be a real institution. Jclemens (talk) 01:19, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I am the original nominator (not sure what went wrong with Twinkle, sorry). This college fails WP:ORG, only local sources even mention it, and even then, only in passing. The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is not "this place is real"; it's "this place is notable", and this college is not notable. --TorriTorri(talk/contribs) 04:06, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete As I understand the consensus for schools, it says that degree-granting institutions of higher learning are generally considered notable. However, this is not a degree-granting institution; it is a two-year college that only grants an associate of arts, and that AA is (by the article's own admission) mostly of use in transferring to colleges within this one's narrow circle of affiliated institutions. Basically this is a private, non-accredited junior college. It is only a "candidate" for accreditation by a religious accrediting agency, rather than actually accredited, and it is allowed to operate only because California has very loose standards for religious colleges. --MelanieN (talk) 04:46, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Accreditation is not a necessary qualification for documenting an educational institution in a Wikipedia article, but a very quick look at the website for the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools indicated that this school has been accredited since 2007. Apparently it had not yet attained accreditation back when the last substantial editing occurred. (What happened to wP:BEFORE?) --Orlady (talk) 16:21, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. A real, substantial school, and it's gotten repeated coverage in its local media, at least.  I don't see how it would benefit Wikipedia's encyclopedic coverage of education to exclude verifiable information about institutions like this one.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:48, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, per reasonings given by OrLady & Arxiloxos. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:21, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: Well-sourced & notable. - Ret.Prof (talk) 03:24, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
