Following on from Articles for deletion/IFA Paris, this appears to be another unaccredited fashion school; sources are variously unreliable and vague mentions. Stifle (talk) 10:09, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. Disclaimer: I did a bit of work on this last year after removing some major copyright violations there, and added a number of references. I did so because I was sure it would be found to be notable if sent to AfD – it had already survived once. I don't care one way or the other whether it is kept, but I'm certain it's notable; here's the Manchester Guardian describing it as "one of Europe's leading design schools" and saying that it "has played a pivotal role in the growth of the Italian fashion industry". It has innumerable passing mentions, and in-depth coverage in a number of independent reliable sources, a couple of which I have now added to the page. It's not clear to me whether or how it is able to award degrees in Italy, as it is not recognised by the Ministero dell'istruzione, dell'università e della ricerca (in common with many other private schools; state recognition is a high bar in Italy). In England it is a listed body, and is listed as such by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:52, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Correction: checking the talk page, I find that it survived WP:PROD, not AfD. The WP:COI problems appear to be under control. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:57, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep I was easily able to find news articles in Italian newspapers, some of which I added to the article - and they support the reputation and individual facts about the institute. I can also find spreads in Italian and French fashion magazines. I don't think it functions as a truly academic institution, being more like a private art school. I can add more links later since I'll be in Italy in 10 days and from there a search should turn up more sources. LaMona (talk) 03:53, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY: enough RS to support a claim of notability. Cavarrone 05:39, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
