University of the Philippines Open University

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The only reference given here is to a single PDF file generated by the open university's affiliated school, the University of the Philippines. The current article might qualify for deletion as a promotional piece, but as its notability is debatable, I am offering it for discussion at XfD. KDS4444 (talk) 14:59, 13 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep This is a constituent university (CU), part of the University of the Philippines higher education system. If it needs sourcing, then do it, but unless there's a claim that the CU does not exist, then the lack of sourcing is not a reason to delete, per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES.

 * Strong Keep same reason with ValarianB. mcLovin'tosh (talk) 04:54, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment mcLovin'tosh please check out Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Next, what is a "constituent university"?  Wikipedia does not have and never has had an article on the topic.  I am going to guess that you mean something like a "distance education".  In this case, the open university is basically the same as the university proper (I can see that both institutions have the same person identified as president), and a redirect might be preferable to a delete.  Might be.  KDS4444 (talk) 12:04, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe that a CU is like an American School system with sub-campuses, e.g. the University of Massachusetts is the overall university system, containing University of Massachusetts Amherst and others. Amherst would be analogous to the CU. ValarianB (talk) 14:55, 18 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep subject to national notability (supported by two Republic Acts and certification of excellence by the highest higher education institution of the country) and is covered by various international studies and an Asian Development Bank case study which is unfortunately only available via snippet preview -- Lenticel ( talk ) 10:09, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
