This article looks like an ad. It heavily relies on the subject's own websites. Indeed, almost all the footnotes lead to fontys.edu, fontysvenlo.nl and other related sites. Seemingly independent links are either dead or merely bear a passing mention of the subject.

All of this, combined with the fact that it's been developed by an WP:SPA leads me to believe that we're also looking at a breach of the terms of use (the compulsory disclosure clause)

This low quality content is now creeping into other wikis, by using this article as a blueprint (or even via automatic translation) with efforts from other WP:SPAs. - Andrei (talk) 09:28, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Accredited universities are generally notable. WP:PROMO and WP:SPA are not valid reasons for deletion. Terms of use breaches can result in speedy deletion of content once proven. however it has not been proved, so this is not a factor. AfD is not cleanup. &Alpha; Guy into Books &trade;  &sect; ( Message ) -  14:54, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
