No indication of notability. The article is sourced entirely to its own website or those of its partner institutions. Some relevant discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/School of Fashion and Design London. Created by obvious COI editor LCCArts, subsequently edited by blocked sock Chernenkaya under at least two names (more have been submitted for investigation).

Comment. I found a single mention of this school in Times Higher Education. The school is not listed as a degree-granting institution by HEDD, nor is it on the list of authorized visa sponsors. What they offer is an "intensive 6-8 months Foundation programme" that "prepares you for entry onto a Higher National Diploma or Bachelor programme."[1] The Viking (talk) 06:57, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Commnet -- perhaps delete. Preparing for HND or a BA suggests that it is seekiung to be in the further education college sector. Before I accepted this as a legitimate college, I would want to see evidence of a substantial number of students; and that they are engaged in fulltime courses. The omission from the Visa sponsors and its having an "org.uk" not "ac.uk" web address suggests to me that it is not meeting these criteria. Peterkingiron (talk) 09:47, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I would concur with that. There are too many suspicious aspects of this school. Even if we take what they say at face value, it's not a degree granting institution. So at best it is only marginally notable. The Viking (talk) 06:57, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Michaelzeng7 (talk) 03:50, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The status and activities of this entity cannot be verified. It cannot sponsor students for visa purposes nor is it officially registered in the UK for educational purposes so far as searches have so far revealed. --AJHingston (talk) 08:43, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
