Third Party resolution

This article is in dispute whether it should be redirected to Hamilton University or to leave it as a separate article.

Redirect

I see my redirect was deleted from the page's history. This really should be redirected to Hamilton University because according to CBS News' 60 Minutes' report "Degrees for Sale" [1] this is a front group for Hamilton. CBS reported "Hamilton’s Web site claims the school is accredited," but "But it turns out the accreditation board, like the referral service, was set up by Hamilton, for Hamilton."[2] Arbusto 09:48, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Read American Council of Private Colleges and Universities again. I made some important changes to reflect what you said. If you want to expand on the article please do but making a redirect was not appropriate. --Scott Grayban 09:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the 60 minutes article. This is not a "group" nor does it "accredit" schools. It is set up by one man for one fake school, Hamilton (now Richardson University). This should be merged. Unless you have an independent source that is group (ie contradicts the 60 Minutes investigation) it is part of the Hamilton article. Arbusto 09:59, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And another source demonstrating only one school (Hamilton) is "accredited" by it[3]. Arbusto 10:58, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

American State University and Island Family Christian Church

American State University moved to Wyoming and became Hamilton then Hamilton moved to the Bahamas and became Richardson. Guess what, Island Family Christian Church has the same address as American State University according to John Bear. Arbusto 11:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge disputed

There are other reasons why this article should remain separate of Hamilton. Its either a front and/or back by numerious other organizations and even some religious ones. The article can be used as a focal point to all of them. Hamilton is only one part of this. --Scott Grayban 11:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1) What proof (I've asked this three times now) do you have that any other school is connectioned to this "group"? 2) If any article should be the "focal point" it is the most famous out of the front groups according to media sources. That is far and away, Hamilton. 3) What evidence do you have that "Hamilton is only one part of this"? Arbusto 11:54, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
