I can't find any evidence to suggest this place exists? The refs: Japanese Wiki, Japanese Wiki, A broken link for the school. It could be a mistranslation for the other schools (e.g Medical school or Biosciences) ツStacey (talk) 20:40, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - The problem is that it doesn't exist anymore, since it ceased to exist in 1996. So there's not going to be a school site or that much on the web that is current. But there is plenty on the net that proves that it existed: lots of people who list themselves as graduating from or teaching there (,, , etc.), other institutional histories (, , etc.), and even its publications (, , , etc.). So it definitely existed. The question is simply whether there is enough to declare whether this institution that lasted for about 30 years passes notability criteria.

 * Delete. While there does not appear to be any doubt that the college actually existed, I'm not convinced that we have sufficient third-party sourcing or coverage to demonstrate notability or justify a self-standing article like this. --DAJF (talk) 02:33, 16 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. According to the lead of the Japanese wiki page, the faculty was closed when a Health Sciences Department was opened within the faculty of medicine at Osaka University. So really it should be included as a paragraph in the history of the Faculty of Medicine, but that faculty doesn't even have its own page. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 03:59, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
