I find nothing on this Our Saviors University. What can you find out about it?

http://saviorsuniversity.com/index.php is the site for this purported college, but somehow it's not notable enough to appear on Wikipedia already. What can you find out about this college? Why wouldn't it show up here? Thanks, guys. --66.87.72.48 (talk) 00:54, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

This forum discussion thinks it's a scam. I'm shocked, shocked that something associated with a Nigerian chief might be fake! Clarityfiend (talk) 02:23, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Yea, it looks rather suspicious to me. There's bad English like "75% of those who apply for grant receives it", they list their New York address as being in Delaware, and phone numbers are in European format, not the US format of (xxx)-xxx-xxxx. StuRat (talk) 21:54, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

.com instead of .edu is a dead giveaway. —Nelson Ricardo (talk) 01:21, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, too bad they don't have *.con websites, to make it even more clear. :-) StuRat (talk) 01:27, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

I have four questions about Jazz_Jennings

1. What is her male birth name?

2. Does she or when will she take hormones?

3. Will she get the surgery as a adult?

4. How do I get her autograph? Pegasusphinx (talk) 20:03, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

The person involved is a minor. You are already aware of the article we have on her, which mentions her mail-order business, and are free to read it and its sources and use web search engines. But it is not appropriate for us to speculate on future actions or advise someone how to get in touch with a minor. μηδείς (talk) 21:13, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

1) It seems she does not want to reveal her birth name, so I will respect that: [1].

2) At that link she says she is taking testosterone blockers to delay the onset of puberty, but not taking female hormones at that time. (She appears to have female breasts, but that can be accomplished using a push-up bra, etc.)

3) At that link "Jazz says the full gender reassignment surgery she is planning after she turns 18 will help her transition feel complete".

4) She attends various LGBT events, so those might be your best chance. She might also be willing to do autographs by mail. You might ask her on her Facebook page: [2]. StuRat (talk) 22:19, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
