• Keep - this school has 61,000 students. I don't know about your country but in my country, that would be a very big school.

I don't understand how a university this big gets nominated for deletion.

The Philippines has 1,975 higher education institutes. The University of Cebu is one of only 68 that have been granted autonomous status by the government.^[1] Quoting our Higher education in the Philippines article:

"In an effort to rationalize its supervision of institutions of higher learning, CHED has also prescribed guidelines for granting privileges of autonomy and deregulation to certain schools. According to the guidelines, the general criteria examined by CHED are an institution's 'long tradition of integrity and untarnished reputation', 'commitment to excellence', and 'sustainability and viability of operations'."^[2]

A Google Scholar search indicates several hundred papers that discuss the school or were written by someone at the school.

This lengthy article from last month is just a sample of news coverage that's out there:

• Cacho, Katlene O. (30 June 2023). "Cebu's UC grads among country's most 'preferred'". SunStar. Retrieved 30 July 2023.

So this school is a strong keep based on Google Scholar, government documentation, WP:SCHOOL and most of all, obviousness.

• Keep per A. B. -Ian Lopez @ 14:02, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep When I first saw this, yes the article doesn't have a lot of sources. However, I was able to find a lot of sources for its sports programs alone. I'm sure more sources can be found for its academics, its history, etc. This article just needs to be expanded more. D-Flo27 (talk) 05:04, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep is this even serious? Please conduct some WP:BEFORE prior to nominating articles for deletion. This is a Center of Excellence and a source of board topnotchers in the country. --Lenticel ^(talk) 02:28, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
