No sources or assertion of notability. Nothing about the institute itself, just a spammy intro and list of courses offered Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:00, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No comment on notability, but it seems to be a significant institution in Cuba : a Google search yields 1,170,000 results (most of them can probably be discared), and the university appears in several LinkedIn profiles, suggesting significance as a degree-granting institution. Full disclosure: I declined a speedy deletion for 'unambiguous promotion' and asked the nominator to reinstate the article after a deletion for this reason. Personally, I fail to see the spam/promo part in the lead, the whole article seems factual to me. The author of the article previously created Instec, which wad (wronly, in my opinion) deleted as a copyright violation, perhaps due to the bulleted section. Again, no comment on notability.

Keep. The article rather needs a rewrite, but the subject is clearly a properly accredited degree-awarding institution, and we standardly keep such articles. PWilkinson (talk) 19:05, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
