Fashion Retail Academy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be a small non notable commercial organisation. Unaffiliated and with no evidence of any notability, this appears to be simple advertising. Does not benefit from assumed notability for schools - this is a commercial company. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 14:43, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment: Hello, the argument above from (which has been blocked as an organization account) amounts to "it exists", which in and of itself is not a valid reason to keep an article. In order for this article to be kept, interested editors need to demonstrate that the article meets the notability criteria for organizations and companies.

 * Delete as org spam with no indications of notability or significance. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:26, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Genuine   college preparing for degrees, though an established university issues them, as for a great many college in UK-associated systems.  It doesn't mater whether a college is non-profit or profit--why should it?  We have always kept them, unless they are too 1promotional  to rewrite. This was promotional , but I rewrote it.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 00:33, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seems to be in line with many other small colleges that have articles. Somebody should add the college's enrollment numbers and more about its history but those are just article quality issues. --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 06:56, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per recent article improvements and as a degree college. If kept, I would suggest protecting the article due to COI / SPA editing. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:11, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
