Keep. Articles on proper universities are always kept. Sources will exist at some point. It seems clear that this is not a hoax. --Bduke (Discussion) 04:32, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, but take a look at the outcomes. This comes up at deletion discussions on High Schools all the time. However, if a school goes to year 12, and the article is not a hoax, it will be kept. This is more so for universities. Sources are more difficult to find in Somalia,but we want to avoid bias and have the same coverage of universities in Somalia as we do in the US, Canada, Australia or Europe. --Bduke (Discussion) 21:17, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a degree-awarding institution per longstanding precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:47, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This pushes it up into keep for me though I agree the sources are weak for various reasons. It doesn't help WP to be deleting articles with verifiable content even if the topic's notability isn't well reflected by our usual criteria. And really, we ought to be covering well-established universities – if we don't then our standards are wrong. Thincat (talk) 21:06, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
