This was speedied for spam or copyvio two or three times before under this and at least one similar name. I've got to say, I can't imagine how a university founded in 1993 with 17,000 students can have zero Google hits outside Wikipedia—but this one does. Even if this were a purely online school or a degree mill there would have to be something. WHOIS says that the address unzwest.com was created late last year. I don't want to say, "this has hoax/scam written all over it," but. . . .    Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 02:56, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Deleted as hoax, and salted. User blocked. From their web site : "UNZW is internationally recognized as one of the great teaching and research universities," which is utter nonsense. . It claims an association with The" Los Angeles Movie School", which gets zero hits on Google. The instructors for the film school faculty are listed as  "Jack Mangboard", "Bill Stupak"  "Matthew W. Stroke" etc, none of whom have any hits on Google or IMdB. I leave it to someone else to notify their internet provider. `    DGG ( talk ) 03:45, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
