The result of the debate was KEEP. Although I commented, I did not vote so I have no conflict of interest. The vote is practically unanimous in any case. -Splash 02:57, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

• We've kept articles on elementary schools, so we won't be deleting any 50-yr-old Bible Colleges any time soon. For future reference: there's a consensus that pretty much any post-secondary educational institution is notable enough. Isomorphic 16:02, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Apologies!Grayum 17:50, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • No, there is not any such consensus. There is no consensus either way. -Splash 17:47, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, we'll see now. But it's certainly rare for a post-secondary school to be deleted. Christopher Parham (talk) 19:38, 2005 August 13 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable institution. Christopher Parham (talk) 19:38, 2005 August 13 (UTC)
• Comment not to encourage rule creep, but should we consider coming up with standards for what makes a school notable? JDoorjam 20:18, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • According to many editors, schools are inherently notable, and it's not necessary to deal with messy things like (ugh!) criteria. Denni☯ 23:01, 2005 August 13 (UTC)
    • That is the criteria. We don't bother with messy things like population and google hits for sovereign states either. Sovereign states are notable: end of criteris. High schools are notable: end of criteria. Osomec 11:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
      • According a school the importance of a sovereign state is just a wee tad, um, silly, dontcha think? Denni☯ 04:19, 2005 August 16 (UTC)
  • I'd go for "has its own building". Kappa 22:44, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • There isn't really significant debate about post-secondary institutions, such as universities. (It's just that "college" in some places doesn't refer to a post-secondary institution. But here it does.) -Aranel ("Sarah") 02:29, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. It's a regionally accredited four-year college. Considering that no high school has failed a vote for deletion for months, I can't see how a college could be deleted (colleges are inherently more notable than high schools, all else being equal). --Metropolitan90 00:48, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
