This college notability appears to be questionable, as many of the sources cited do not meet the criteria outlined in WP:RS. Additionally, an education institute does not inherently meet the Notability unless it meets WP:GNG, which it does not. It was created by User: Faizanalivarya, known for COI editing. The editing history by User: Faizanalivarya (see this) to add unsourced promotional content about a relatively unknown small college in the US, and then these comments on the talk page suggesting the possibility of paid editing. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 10:14, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is a legitimate, accredited college. It's a small community college in a rural location, however, so it doesn't seem to have gotten much press but there is a little bit if you really dig e.g., [1], [2], [3], [4],[5], [6]. And of course there are the standard information sources for accredited institutions in the U.S. such as IPEDS, USN&WR, and its Carnegie classifications.

Keep per above discussion. Community colleges in North America are almost alway notable, and WP:BEFORE should be used. Bearian (talk) 17:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources cited by ElKevbo and Hameltion. Passes WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 22:22, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
