University of Applied Management

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability of this institute is not established using significant coverage in secondary sources, nor could I find any. On the web, I only found directly affiliated sites and listings for prospective students, such as this one from Die Zeit. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 09:46, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - accredited universities are nearly always kept; this is the largest private university in Bavaria and by all accounts appear to be perfecly notable. The German article is much better. —Мандичка YO 😜 11:22, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Then where's the proof of notability? The German version also cites only the institute's website and an organisation of which it is a member. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 14:22, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * What "proof of notability" do you want? Accredited universities, along with top-level government agencies, are basically the only thing considered inherently notable. It has the normal coverage for a small university ie articles about events, interviews with professors, news guest speakers etc, ,  —Мандичка YO 😜 14:40, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Where is that rule written down? WP:NSCHOOL says that "All universities, colleges and schools (...) must satisfy either this guideline (WP:ORG) or the general notability guideline, or both." The word "university" does not otherwise occur in that guideline. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 08:37, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * "Nearly always kept" refers to common outcomes. It's not a policy, but it is a trend. A trend shouldn't negate policy, but keeping institutions of higher education seems to have become a strong tradition. That said, although this particular institution is accredited, it is a limited curriculum private institution. I don't see significant third-party resources, although I didn't look for local (German) newspapers. I'm going for delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaMona (talk • contribs) 17:32, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Limited curriculum? Irrelevant. Private? Irrelevant. Accredited degree-awarding institution? Highly relevant. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:43, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, my name is Max, I´ve edited the article about the university of applied management. Unfortunately the original version isn´t visible any more. The shown article isn´t the article I´ve created. The original one looks like the german article Hochschule für angewandtes Management, but with improvements by more citations to secondary ressources. I´ve rewrited the english article twice in order that it sounds less than an advertisement. It was my first article, so I´m sorry for some parts that aren´t congruent with the guidelines. I think the university of applied management should be in Wikipedia because it is state approved and it is mentioned in many cases by independent ressources like big newspapers or else. In the notability guidelines Notability_(organizations_and_companies) you can read under the point schools: "All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must satisfy either this guideline (WP:ORG) or the general notability guideline, or both." I´m not sure what mainstream education means, but the university of applied management is higher education, there you can get Bachelor and Master Degrees and after that you have the rights to do a doctorate. And that within a modern semi-virtual study concept, what means you have e-learning and attendance phases in a combination. In the english wikipedia are also many german universities like the FOM FOM_University_of_Applied_Sciences_for_Economics_and_Management or the SRH University SRH_Hochschule_Berlin. I will edit the article another time that you can evaluate the original text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M.Reiter87 (talk • contribs) 09:40, 26 June 2015 (UTC)


 * You mean this version? There is exactly one reference pointing outside the university's website — to an ad. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 09:58, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

No, there was a newer edition without benefits and opportunities... — Preceding unsigned comment added by M.Reiter87 (talk • contribs) 11:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. All universities are kept per longstanding precedent and consensus. We don't have rules; we have consensuses. This is one. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:30, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - per consensus mentioned before. --BabbaQ (talk) 14:58, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
