Deletion discussion about International Business University

Hello, Mark Lovewell, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Ovinus, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, International Business University, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Business University.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

This may be disappointing. The issue, currently, is that the university may not pass our guidelines for whether an organization's article should be included. Because Wikipedia gets a lot of eager marketing employees trying to promote their company—not saying you are one!—we generally are quite strict on what organizations are allowed to be on here. You can read the guideline for details, but the gist is that we need multiple sources which are secondary (for example, not government documents), that provide in-depth coverage of the organization (in this case, perhaps history, relevant figures, admissions information), that are reliable (for example, appearing in a major newspaper), and that are totally independent (interviews, for example, do not count—there should be little intellectual influence of the organization or its members on the article). Also, at least one of the sources needs to be from a publisher who is not based in the local area.

I hope this isn't too discouraging. If the organization gets more attention from the media, it may eventually deserve an article, at which point this version may be undeleted, or a new one—citing these newly minted sources—published. Thanks! Ovinus (talk) 20:52, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

The International Business University is fairly well known among the business university world in the Greater Toronto Area. I have not analyzed articles linking or supporting it, but it is a choice students consider after high school. InternationalBusinessProf (talk) 17:06, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
