RCC College of Technology

Nominated for speedy deletion under G11, blatant advertising. I speedied it, but then had second thoughts and restored it. Nominated for prod (reason given was "Spam & Non-notable"), and I contested it for the same reason I wouldn't speedy it. I feel that as this is an educational institution, it needs some discussion to establish a consensus one way or the other about the keep-ness or delete-ness of the content.

Delete as advertising. There's nothing notable about this particular private college. GreenJoe 03:46, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as notable as any other school, and I don't think anyone's ever come to a consensus about whether schools are notable enough just by existing. The article does need a rewrite though, so make it sound like less of a press release. Ford MF 05:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as notable but could do with cleanup and secondary sources. Thin Arthur 08:45, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and prune. Verifiable that the school was established in 1928 and is now a division of Yorkville University.[1] Would also support merge with Yorkville University since that article is a stub. Wl219 11:33, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but de-spam it. Bucketsofg 20:52, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Any institution that's accredited by the MCTU to grant bachelor's degrees is notable enough for Wikipedia. Give it a once-over for spam concerns, but keep. The problem with merging into Yorkville University is that RCC is in Ontario while Yorkville is otherwise in New Brunswick. Bearcat 23:38, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- What is MCTU? GreenJoe 23:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, the Ontario government ministry responsible for postsecondary institutions in the province. Bearcat 02:56, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Bearcat and Bucketsofg. nat^tang 03:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with requirement to clean up. Like many other colleges this one does appear to have some notability and can be sourced (I did a simple search and did find a few secondary ones) - it just needs to be made to be less of an advertisement. Camaron1 | Chris 10:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - tertiary education establishments, that award degrees, have always been taken to be inherently notable and this is no exception. It is the first and the only private educational institute in Ontario to be approved by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to grant Bachelor degrees. I'll do some cleanup. TerriersFan 15:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - OK, I have been through the article and removed the hype. It still needs sourcing but it is much better. TerriersFan 16:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per TerriersFan - obviously notable as a real college, and per WP:HEY cleanup. Bearian 20:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is an article which would benefit from a bit of cleaning up, not deletion. Yamaguchi先生 04:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
