 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus; content clearly rejected, though perhaps the topic is not. I will redirect all campuses to the main article without a merge, since as noted below there is no significant content not already included. In my capacity as an editor I will stubbify the main article. Chick Bowen 03:24, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete all, pure spam by a for-profit "school". Phlegm Rooster (talk) 06:49, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Purely because it is written like an advertisement and makes no effort to cite reliable, impartial sources. Black-Velvet  06:55, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Little or no results in google news, I can determine that these partnerships exist, but I cannot say that they are in any way notable. Also the article smells too much like spam for my taste. —Atyndall &#91;citation needed&#93; 08:42, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep and combine the articles on the campuses.  It's a degree-granting institution, and we have so far covered every single one of them. That doesnt make us more a "directory" than covering all 50 states.  It's even accredited, though only by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, but some of the specialty programs are  by their professional accrediting boards. Spam is dealt with by rewriting, not deletion. A nomination totally out of line with the way we deal with this topic. We even do non-accredited colleges if we can find anything to use as an adequate source for V. Where we have been drawing the line is minor trade schools, and sometimes its hard to distinguish them from colleges--but this one give as BS and MS, and so isnt a trade school.

 * Strong keep and merge as well described by DGG. We don't delete tertiary, degree awarding institutions and spammy pages are cleaned up not deleted. TerriersFan (talk) 19:01, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and Merge the several different locations of this "accredited" school are virtual copies of each other with minor changes in course offerings. If the main article is kept, the others should be merged with the original.-- Tr ip le  3  D  12:29, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and Merge. A page for each campus is overkill, so merging them all into one would be the best solution. Grk1011 (talk) 17:29, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep "Globe University/Minnesota School of Business". Delete the other as there is nothing to merge from there (it is mostly institutional information belonging in the institutions website, with no encyclopedic value, and WP is not a webhost) - Nabla (talk) 17:30, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
