Orphaned references in Online program manager

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Online program manager's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ReferenceC":

From For-profit higher education in the United States: "Is a shakeout coming for online program management companies? | Inside Higher Ed". insidehighered.com.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:23, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of Online Program Managers?

What happened to the list of Online Program Managers? CollegeMeltdown (talk) 13:04, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it per WP:NOT. Wikipedia isn't a place to build lists of companies like that. MrOllie (talk) 13:19, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are many lists on Wikipedia. Why didn't you take that information and create a new article instead of just removing an essential piece of the article? CollegeMeltdown (talk) 13:44, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Such an article would have just been deleted as being off-mission for the encyclopedia. Lists of nonnotable companies are not 'essential', they're specifically not what we do here - this isn't the yellow pages. MrOllie (talk) 13:47, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So how about a list of the most prominent OPMs, like 2U and Academic Partnerships? CollegeMeltdown (talk) 14:28, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most prominent as defined by which source? MrOllie (talk) 14:46, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think references to prominent OPMs violate WP:SOAP. Academic Partnerships and 2U are prominent OPMs in the US. They go by other names in other parts of the world. I have removed references to these two organisations, as I think that it is more important to recognize the common strategies used by OPM's. Not just their names.
