Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marbella University
Fails Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies); no third party evidence this school even operates on a regular basis, let alone meets any Wikipedia criteria.  (I have no idea what to say further about the claims of "long standing consensus" by two rather experienced editors above, other that there is certainly not Wikipedia consensus that a subject can unilaterally qualify itself for a Wikipedia article just by itself claiming to be something, like an "degree-awarding body", without anyone else recognizing its claim.)  In any case, #No inherent notability is the controlling guideline: "No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is. If the individual organization has received no or very little notice from independent sources, then it is not notable simply because other individual organizations of its type are commonly notable or merely because it exists".  Schools are explicitly included in #Primary criteria: "A ... school ... or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources.  Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject."   points to  for notability guidelines.  Per , it is up to the editors to provide these eliable sources when making claims.  In this article, the only footnotes are two reprints of press release paragraphs.  So, no reliable third party sources about this university at all, let alone enough to establish , or even third party evidence of this school operating on a regular basis.  The operator of this school is also behind "Mallorca University", "Benidorm University" (claiming opening October 2011), "Benidorm Business School" (claiming opening October 2011), "European Business College" ("a satellite campus of Marbella University", claiming opening October 2011 in Benidorm), the "RC Institute for Global Individuation" (RCIGI) and the "Individuation Academy".  Most of these domains are hiding behind a domain privacy provider that itself is hiding behind a private mailbox (i.e. drop box) at a UPS Store (a.k.a. Mail Boxes Etc.) in Bellevue, Washington.  Most of the external links on the left side and in the alleged "campus news" sections of these "school" sites link to commercial hospitality directories/link farms run (from the same postal address as shown in this article) by a relative of the "university" owner
