Trinity college of biblical studies[edit]

Slightly improved over original, but still quite promotional and gives little reason to believe it passes WP:CORP. Prod contested without explanation by article author. Seraphimblade 07:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. More sources would be nice, but on the face of it, being a college offering graduate degrees in theology seems to be an assertion of notability. Highfructosecornsyrup 22:09, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
How can you state it is a college granting graduate degrees when there are no cited sources for any of the information in the article? I think we should pass a new wikipedia guidline that states if you can't cite atleast one fact the article should be deleted immediately. Alan.ca 22:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The web site for the "college" [1] has a counter on the contact us page with a number count of 248. If someone could cite one reliable source attesting to the notability of this place we might have something to debate here. Alan.ca 22:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm unable to find any independent discussion of the school in reliable sources. The school thus fails verifiability which is a non-negotiable policy even before we get to issues of notability. JoshuaZ 00:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not listed as accredited through the Association of Theological Schools, and no other accreditation listed either in article or on their website. Also, I'm not sure what an "online chapel" would be for meditation, but it certainly seems like an online diploma mill to me. LaughingVulcan 02:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
strong delete About as non notable as a college can get. Especially since it does not actually seeem to have a non-web existence. Those votingto keep should try to find a/ a physical location b/ an approximate number of students c/ a list of faculty --and not only do you get a degreee by mail order, you also get ordained! Fortunately, i see no evidence they ever had a student. DGG 03:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, we can barely even say for sure that it exists, let alone write anything even approaching encyclopedic. --Cyde Weys 04:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, even w/rewrte it's a nn corporation. SkierRMH,07:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep One of the very few colleges offering degrees in biblical studies and theology. That makes it notable for sure and should be mentionned in Wikipedia.Terveetkadet
- CommentDo you realize how many unaccredited bible colleges there are in the US? JoshuaZ 17:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Inadequately referenced, and not notable per se. Terveetkadet is wrong when he says this is one of "very few colleges" offering degrees in biblical studies and theology. A quick google found plenty. WMMartin 17:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. Insufficient evidence of notability provided by article. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 17:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
