 * Keep, of course: based on long-standing custom of keeping colleges. Just because this is in Madagascar doesn't mean it should be deleted. Oh, did I mention multiple, independent reliable sources? In French..., , – Lionel(talk) 10:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * What are about all the independent sources available... The Banner talk 10:14, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: You'll have very few articles from the economically poor countries in Wikipedia if you apply more stringent criteria than "one independent source to prove its existence". And you'll find that Madagascar is one of the most difficult countries to find news coverage, but thankfully has used his skill to find them out. Jzsj (talk) 11:59, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Accredited, referenced degree-awarding institution. Kept by longstanding precedent. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:23, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Any policy? Or just the outdated circular reasoning? The Banner talk 14:24, 1 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - Kudos to Lionel for truly excellent source hunting - certainly sufficient in this particular instance. I will add the best in (if not already there) to the article to make sure it isn't lost. Nosebagbear (talk) 13:44, 2 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Is it verifiable? yes. Does it look likely to be notable? Yes. Egaoblai (talk) 18:20, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Verifiable is not enough and the few sources are not really convincing. The Banner talk 21:25, 2 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - Mainstream degree awarding institution of higher learning. Fully accredited. Well sourced. If we delete this, we must delete all the colleges in the Netherlands. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:32, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I am waiting for your nominations, Kudpung. But you make it clear this is a personal based comment, not based on the article or it contents. <span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The Banner <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 11:55, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

To be realistic: everybody stares at a few sources that does not prove anything. And everybody comes up with the same outdated circular reasoning based on absolutely nothing. Unless the closing administrator is a hero of outstanding class, the article will be kept and the encyclopedia will deteriorate a bit more. <span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The Banner <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 22:20, 2 May 2018 (UTC)


 * To be absolutely correct, even if it were not subject to what some people call 'circular reasoning' (what does that mean exactly?), according to policy it would still not be eligible for deletion, and to nominate it here is evidence of systemic bias and a pattern of disruptive editing.

 * And on what policy is your statement based, Kudpung? Hopefully not Schooloutcomes... <span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The Banner <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 22:12, 5 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep -- As a college providing tertiary education, it ought to be notable, even if it is small. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:46, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - passes WP:GNG. Septrillion (talk) 05:09, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
