Selective list, listed in order of unreferenced price conversions from various currencies to U.S. dollars at what's claimed in the article to be their respective November 2015 rates. A lists of goods by price of historic transactions makes sense, like List of most expensive films, or List of most expensive association football transfers, but a list of fees with ongoing price changes does not, and WP:NOTCATALOG may also apply here. Article was deleted in 2011 following prod, but restored and redirected, per Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/Archive 56#List of most expensive schools. A year later, it was resurrected. If WP:RS can be found that a particular school is the "most expensive school in country X or "in Europe" or "in the world" on a given date, that's worth mentioning in the school's article, but I can't see the value or maintainability of this list: how often should the currency fluctuations be updated? Daily? The Swiss Franc, the British pound and the Euro also vary against the U.S. dollar at very different rates lately, for political and macroeconomic reasons: is the dollar the best currency for comparing all of these?

• Delete - I completely agree. This also relates to WP:LISTCRUFT #6 and #11 among other points. Spiderone 19:24, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - per all above; also WP:NOT would seem to apply. John from Idegon (talk) 19:45, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
