HE Higher Education Ranking

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Contested PROD. Article currently has no sources that would meet WP:GNG. Most are sourced to the universities themselves, so are not independent. Same goes with the first and last citation, to the article subject. There are also two cites to books published by IGI global, a vanity press listed on Beall's list, which are written by an employee at HE, so are not independent. I haven't found any usable while searching, though false positives with THE made it a bit difficult.

 * Delete per nom. The article is full of puffery.  It is entirely based on what the group claims itself to be (and meaningless university press releases), because there are no other sources. Walsh90210 (talk) 16:19, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. I don't see evidence that this ranking has received significant coverage in reliable sources, except from its own publisher. By contrast, the U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges Ranking has received coverage: Inside Higher Ed, CBS News Boston, Scientometrics, Economics of Education Review, for example. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
