- Independent University of Australia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Orphan since October 2006 and unreferenced since April 2007. No evidence that such an institution ever existed. The only Ghits -wikipedia are the resume of somebody who claimed to have "earned" degrees there. Zero references in the Parliament of Victoria Hansard. Not on the Register of Recognised Education Institutions in Australia. Dbromage 01:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

- Delete as spam lacking any verification of notability in reliable sources. Considering there isn't even a link to the "school's" website, it could even be a hoax. VanTucky 01:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. It's not spam and I don't think it's a hoax as such. The rumours do go back to 1972 but I think they are just that - rumours. Even if it did exist as a degree mill it's not a notable one. Dbromage 01:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:HOAX. Like any tertiary institutions, I'd expect mentions on the web, or at least search results. (including unreliable sources like MySpace entries, blogs of students there, if it exists, it should have students, and at least one student will blab their life out etc.) But there are only 3 results when I tried on Google. This suggests that it is either not notable, or merely a hoax.--Alasdair 01:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete You'd think the guy who founded it in 1972 would have a google hit.Mbisanz 02:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as non-notable even if it's not a hoax. KTC 03:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

- Delete As you can see from the talk page, I expressed concern about this article's lack of verifiability over a year ago. Even if it did exist, it doesn't seem at all notable. --Canley 09:28, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Long time speculation but no sources. Thin Arthur 06:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
