Much of this list article appears to violate WP:NOTDIR

Stand-alone list articles like this one are often limited to notable entries (i.e., those that have - or should have - a Misplaced Pages article). As currently written, this article appears to violate WP:NOTDIR. If there are no objections, I propose removing all of the entries that are not about institutions that have a Misplaced Pages article. ElKevbo (talk) 00:18, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

I have looked at the list and I agree with you. --Bduke (talk) 00:59, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

I'd support removing uncited entries. But for the cited ones, I'd be hesitant to remove them in bulk, since the citations might indicate notability even without the presence of a page, particularly for institutions outside the Anglophile world.

Overall, this seems like a valid topic for a list article, but I would encourage reorganization to list institutions by country, as alphabetically isn't particularly useful. {{u|Sdkb}}  03:23, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Might be slightly difficult given how many of them operate in multiple countries. NM 17:10, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

For those, I'd use the country in which they're headquartered. Even if imperfect, a country-based listing would at least provide some sort of semantic grouping, whereas an alphabetic grouping doesn't communicate anything of significance. {{u|Sdkb}}  17:41, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Addition of: The New Seminary (Brooklyn, NY) The school's website itself does say that it does not seek accreditation. https://www.new-seminary.com/courses-programs/accreditation/ 2600:6C5E:4D7F:7620:6123:635C:FDB2:5AC (talk) 19:05, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I understand that you have the sources website, but this in and of itself does not establish notability. I'd prefer to see a third party source that comments on it, as most (if not all) of the current entries have. Bestagon ⬡ 00:44, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Link to incorrect page

The link for Woodfield University currently leads to a Pakistani software company. I am not a wiki editor so I do not know how to edit things properly but wanted to flag it for someone who knows what they are doing to fix it.

Woodfield University (also operates the illicit Woodfield High School), South Carolina

is the line- leads to Axact instead. 142.110.3.37 (talk) 16:28, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

== SELINUS UNIVERSITY has been granted Institutional Accreditation by USHEAC ==

This university needs to be removed from unaccredited list. Reference : Accrediting body membership page (search: SELINUS UNIVERSITY) https://www.usheac.org/non-profit-higher-education-organization-membership
