I can't find any decent coverage outside of primary sources and routine database listings for this school; does not apparently meet WP:NORG or WP:GNG. The article was possibly created for promotional purposes as it appears that it was created by the school's president, Rev. Dr. James A. Lee.

Weak keep The institution is a candidate for accreditation by a recognized, legitimate accreditor so it's not entirely fictional, unknown, or illegitimate. It was admitted to candidacy in 2019 and it may be accredited in 2023 after a 2022 review. We typically keep articles about accredited institutions, even if they are rather small and not well known, but I am unsure if that same logic should extend to institutions that are only candidates for accreditation.

Keep -- This is clearly a small tertiary college offering theological training. Colleges offering only such courses tend to be small, but their small size does not imply that they are insignificant. I would however be happier if we had an indication of student numbers. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:39, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For context regarding WP:COI and promotional history behind the article's creation, see the user's talk page [1] and attempts to create what appears to be an autobiographical entry. None of which mitigates against keeping the article, but may be relevant to our understanding. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 16:36, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep as it does have some Korean newspaper coverage and seminaries are usually kept, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:19, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
