Swiss Universal College

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )


 * Looking at the page history, this started out as heavily promotional. Now that AllyD has removed promo material, there's almost nothing left
 * Referenced solely to self-published source. I couldn't find google hits for anything other than self-published material to indicate notability.
 * The college's administrator (who shares a surname with the principal) states on her LinkedIn page that her objective is to tell as many people as possible about this new college
 * No evidence offered to substantiate claims made about this organisation, both on Wikipedia and on their website. Source website uses poor English, not what would be expected from a Swiss academic institution
 * So I'm proposing deletion as there appears to be little scope for creating an encyclopaedic article on this yet. Baldy Bill  ( sharpen the razor &#124; see my reflection ) 23:34, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The only address for this institution appears to be in offices over a row of shops in Schlieren, which is possibly also the edited picture on their website. In that context, I see no reason to treat this as more than we would any start-up small business and ask whether there is evidence that it meets WP:CORPDEPTH? Of which I have found none.

 * Delete Doesn't meet GNG. Contains no useful content. Switzerland is plagued with these vacuous startup schools that often don't physically exist. This seems to be one; in Googlemaps streetview there's nothing resembling the photo on their website and the swiss telephone directory has no listing for them at Bahnhofstrasse 6, 8952-Schlieren or the number 0445 360 218 Smirkingman (talk) 18:33, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Appears to be a small, privately owned college ... perhaps a night school for professionals?  To test  for notability, it should be treated like any private business:  it needs independent sources talking about it.  I cannot find any.  --Noleander (talk) 21:23, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as completely lacking in depth coverage in independent third party sources. If such sources get added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:49, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
