Lack of notability, and Promotionalism, trying to make it appear more important than it is. This is not even one of the Comprehensive Cancer Care Centers, the highest level in the US. The references consist on unspectacular placings of various lists--there is also a good deal of PRto be found in Google.  DGG ( talk ) 00:18, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Keep' Most of the NCI-designated Cancer Centers have articles. Regardless of whether it's a Comprehensive Cancer Center, it's still one of the NCI-designated Cancer Centers, which represent approximately the top 4% of cancer centers in the country. The references show that it passes WP:ORG, and 11 of the 18 references are not affiliated with UVA. Natureium (talk) 17:53, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Looking at that list, almost all of the ones that have articles are Comprehensive cancer centers, the highest level.  Of the 13 at the same level,    only 3 actually have articles of their own : Markey (University of Kentucky), UT San Antonio, Massey (Virginia Commonwealth University) . I intend to nominate the other two also.  DGG ( talk ) 05:28, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep While it would be nice to have employment and budget figures, I don't see that the article is unduly promotional.  The talk page has no report of attempts to resolve concerns.  The nominator added a "Merge" tag to the article in November, which proves that WP:ATD were known at the time of the nomination, and that as per WP:Deletion policy, the talk page is the place to resolve concerns.
