Delete: non-notable school with no reflinks; open for five (5) years as a stadium in the 13th century. Quis separabit? 04:06, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep It was one of the first universities, as verified by Britannica and a book from Cambridge University Press, which I added as references. It is misleading to say it was a "stadium." it was not just a place where football was played. It was a Studium generale, which means simply that it was a medieval university. Legitimate and verifiable universities have been kept in all previous AFDs I have seen. If it  closed after 5 years, so what? Notability is not temporary.

 * Keep - yeah, this was a studium generale, not a stadium. But I would suggest it would probably be notable if it were a 13th-century sports stadium. Nonetheless, we're talking about a university - one of the first, in fact. Stalwart 111  05:48, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

 * REname to Medieval University of Vicenza or University of Vicenza (13th century). The fact that it existed, even for a few years is notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:48, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Why do we need to? There isn't another one. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:59, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Short lived it may have been, but it was verifiably a university, therefore it is notable. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 09:22, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
