London School of Business

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article created by an SPA about a non-notable business which claims to be "a Graduate Business School [which offers Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Master's Degree programmes in Business Management, Marketing, Finance and International Business".] I have since cut this article way back as I cannot verify any of this. There is literally nothing about this establishment anywhere except Companies House which lists its business as "First-degree level higher education". It has a sole director, Shamsul Alam, who also claims to be its "marketing manager" on his LinkedIn profile. Their website is very vague in terms of their courses. This establishment is not recognised by the UK government as a degree-awarding institution, see list. Nor as one which awards degrees validated by degree-awarding institutions, see list. Its address is a unit in an east London office building which rents out office space and has dozens of other companies/organizations which list it as their address. Note it is not to confused with London School of Business and Finance. Nor is it to be confused with another "London School of Business" operated by Training & Advanced Studies in Management And Communications Ltd (India) which closed amid scandal in 2011.

Further Note: The LSB claims to have two other businesses in their "group", Study Britannia and the somewhat dubiously named Eten College. Companies House lists Shamsul Alam is the sole director and sole owner of all three companies,. . Voceditenore (talk) 17:46, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

 * delete London School of Business warmly welcomes you to it’s friendly and stimulating environment of world class learning. So just for mis-use of that apostrophe.
 * For other issues, here's the campus: . We need secondary sources, especially when this establishment is so obviously tiny. Their own website claims that authorised to offer Level 3 Diploma in Business, which is about as much as a decent secondary school and far below degree level.

 * Yes, and the sole accrediting body for this is the virtually unknown Awards for Training and Higher Education (UK) which got into a spot of bother with the UK government this year, see here Voceditenore (talk) 17:30, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * ATHE is very well known - but they operate to diploma level, not degree. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:04, 10 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - while I am gladly of broad inclusion of tertiary education bodies, this is so lacking in reliability as to question its existence as an educational body, let alone being an active degree-awarding organisation. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:26, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. —Madrenergictalk 03:03, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete – so non-notable it not only fails to make lists of real colleges but doesn't even make HEDD's list of fake colleges! Robminchin (talk) 05:29, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete – fails WP:GNG and not an accredited degree-awarding institution. Just Chilling (talk) 20:14, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete As noted it seems to fail notability requirements, and the other arguments raised above for deletion seem sound. Dunarc (talk) 20:27, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete snow. Completely agree. Can't find anything legitimate of value. Den... (talk) 16:52, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
