 * Keep The article could use better sourcing and editing. The university has been cited in numerous books: . Capt. Milokan (talk) 19:31, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:NSCHOOL and WP:NORG. See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Article needs quite a bit of cleanup and more sources, but the topic itself is notable. Online searches turn up some good potential sources. &mdash; Stevey7788 (talk) 02:13, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with all the above.  scope_creep Talk  12:33, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, on the basis it was a college of further education (which seem to get free passes to Wikipedia articles), though private and very small. Only the first of the Google search list of book references appears to be in any depth, the remainder are mentions, or plugs by affiliated organisations. I'd be happy to see a heavy cull of the miscellaneous info in the article, most of it is WP:UNDUE. Wikipedia isn't an archive for defunct businesses, after all.

 * Delete - it can't be verified with reliable and independent sources. Bearian (talk) 17:50, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Just seeing this article now and wondering why this university is a ghost in general searches for WP:GNG.  I do see its name appearing in "Degree Mills" (e.g. bogus private universities issuing degrees to make money), here Consumer Fraud Reporting, and in this book Degree Mills: The Billion Dollar Industry that has sold over a Million Fake Degrees, and even Quora (although it is a repeat of my first ref) Quora: Which online schools are scams. Is this the reason why Landegg is a ghost in general GNG terms? Britishfinance (talk) 10:45, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Also noting that the original creator of this article was blocked indefinately.  Is WP being used to support a scam mill? Britishfinance (talk) 10:47, 21 March 2019 (UTC)


 * It turns out this is all a copyvio (as Earwig clearly showed). The history of https://bahaikipedia.org/Landegg_International_University show that it was developed over time on that site, then two days after it was completed there, copied as the initial version here.  I've already deleted it under WP:G12.  -- RoySmith (talk) 13:59, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
