Fails WP:GNG; sourcing is not independent or in-depth but blogs, local media pieces. Institute does not grant degrees and is not inherently notable. It's a lovely idea, but it's not a notable institution. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:36, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep the Portland and Oregon media seems a bit substantial to dismiss as “local”. Artw (talk) 19:19, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Easily meets GNG. The Oregonian is a regional paper, second in circulation only to the Seattle Times, but it doesn't matter, since non-profits are not required to meet WP:NORG or WP:AUD. Here's the WP:GNG description of the notability requirement for significant coverage: Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. Yes, one of the Portland Mercury sources is a blog; however, there are multiple other sources about this certificate-granting non-profit institution that fulfill GNG.
