I found no significant coverage for this education program. Google News and Google Books had no results. SL93 (talk) 02:41, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I honestly can't tell about how the program is advertised, but it's the 5th year that this program is taking some 30 master students from about 250 applicants. I believe this page should not be deleted. First, because the program exists and we have studied it, so there is no reason why it shouldn't exist in Wikipedia (We've got extensive pages on fictional characters in Wikipedia, why would a page on a real program be deleted?). Also, we keep getting a lot of questions regarding EMARO and how the program is etc in facebook. This means that people actually search for it and I believe we all agree "looking it up in Wikipedia" is much more preferable than asking on facebook!

- That only works if Wikipedia has verifiable information to report. Far from "there is no reason why it shouldn't exist in Wikipedia", a thing doesn't belong in Wikipedia if the world at large hasn't independently documented it, per deletion policy. The fictional characters, you'll find, are documented. Literary critics and analysts write about them, in some cases at great length over several centuries. Show that the same is true of your program. This is an encyclopaedia of the documented and known, not of the merely real. My house is real. Sources! Sources! Sources!

- Delete - I can find no significant coverage about this program that would establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:09, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
