The result was delete. WP:V is core policy and says that articles need reliable published sources. None have been found for this topic. Whether or not this is an accredited institution is immaterial in this respect, leading me to discount the "keep" opinions.  Sandstein  10:25, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete There are no working indepdent sources. The fact that the sponsoring church and the origanzation itself both have a website, and the former website mentions this place, is not enough to show that this is in any way a notable institution. In the US any church can set up a seminary, we should not treat these as default notable just because they exist. The situation if applied will lead to ludicous considering a seminary with 5 students ever notable but a church with 1500 members not, because we actually require something more than existing to show a church is notable. This is not a notable institution in any way.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:12, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "In the US any church can set up a seminary, we should not treat these as default notable just because they exist" may be true but that's definitely an unhelpful exaggeration when we're also discussing an accredited, degree-granting institution. It would be highly unusual for us to delete the article about an accredited institution even if the article is a poorly sourced stub in desperate need of expansion.

 * Weak keep as accredited seminarys are usually kept but reliable sources coverage would make it a solid keep imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:25, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
