World Education University

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Other than information generated by the project itself there is no information published in reliable sources about the subject. User:Fred Bauder Talk 08:04, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

The project is free online education...similar to coursera and edX. We are similar to them and I followed their outlines. There are outside references and links to similar companies. Thanks. Holly — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hollymer (talk • contribs) 08:26, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong delete To judge by its own website this "university" is not even up and running yet - see this page for example. So essentially what the article says is aspiration rather than fact, which is not what an encyclopaedia is about. Anyway, the online sources cited in the Wiki article don't seem to mention this organisation and I looked up an online version of the first hard copy reference (found here) which didn't mention the organisation either. The "History" section is blatantly about other organisations. So a bit of fakery in this article. And no notability, so it needs to go. asnac (talk) 10:51, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as a crystal ball excercise, per Asnac: "World Education University is in the process of preparing the necessary materials to apply for licensing and accreditation. Upon licensing, WEU expects to be able to offer credentialed diplomas in a variety of industries, Associate Degrees, Bachelor Degrees, Master Degrees, and Ph.Ds."

 * Delete - So far, this university seems to be nothing more than an idea. The third-party sources cited in the article are not actually about WEU (not even peripherally). --Orlady (talk) 02:09, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
