A zero notability, possibly defunct, fly-by-night medical certification farm. Guyana is a pretty obscure country, but if their major newspaper Stabroek News only has 3 namedrops that amount to "owned by Indian nationals" then that is enough to put even the most localized notability into question. The school's social FB and Twitter accounts have not seen updates since 2017/2018 and the official pages are also broken links. And while not inherently a reason to delete, it was created by an obviously COI SPA. I am very forgiving about articles on subjects in developing countries, but this one amounts to advertising and nothing more. Estheim (talk) 15:01, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GNG. Zero newspaper articles on Google, and the three Google news Ghits are for a local news website of dubious reliability. Broader searches reveal lots of social media websites and a ranking not in the top 16,000 universities world-wide (the last made me LOL). Bearian (talk) 23:04, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
