Speedy keep. Seriously? This is an independenly accredited degree-granting university. Also, lots of
newscoverage of it, and other sources as well. E.g.
this book is specifically about the history of this university. Passes
WP:GNG and
WP:ORG, by a mile. What's the deal with this nomination?

Comment: It is an accredited university, strange that it does not have more coverage. //

Keep as has significant coverage such as a dedicated book on the subject and other reliable sources. It is common consensus that degree giving institutions of higher education are included as per
WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, imv

I agree that we should keep all articles on real, accredited universities, but please let's not use a book that is self-published via
iUniverse to support that case.

Ah, sorry, that was my bad, I did not look closely enough to see that the book was self-published. Striking that part of my original comment.

Keep. While this article needs some attention to NPOV issues, I've listed on its talk page multiple clippings about the college, its historical policies on student dancing (against, then ok with it), student alcohol use (against), faculty and staff alcohol use (against, then okay, alright, banning is "Biblically indefensible"), gambling and casinos (against)-- but also a few clippings about interesting classroom work like copying scripture verses on vellum using quills, for example. Of the 900+ newspapers.com hits, I was surprised to find only a handful that were substantive on the University's programs, and not much on the history or finances-- but lots of routine sports coverage and the usual number of brides/grooms who attended there, and LOTS of ads placed by the university. But there was enough substantive coverage to more than pass GNG. Chees! —
