I assume you wanted to ask about the CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies article. That page didn't cite any reliable third-party sources, which by itself is a major problem. But it also sang the organization's praise in a way that's utterly inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. Editing the article to resolve those issues would have been no easier than to rewrite it from scratch. Thus I have deleted it, as lined out in speedy deletion criterion G11: Unambiguous advertisement or promotion. Huon (talk) 23:28, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
