RfC: Is the page neutral and provides real information?

 * This page do have sources for many things but also lacks sources for many other things. Usually such pages related to schools and colleges are written by students of those colleges and many things they write according to their observation in college. We keep those things in article in good faith. We just tag such articles with various maintenance tags. Many times such things happen with village articles where person connected to that village write some things which otherwise no where mentioned online. If we see any extra-ordinary unsourced claim then we can remove it from article, we can also remove some of BLP violations if any, but otherwise we keep some logical unsourced claims in stub articles or in those articles which don't have much page views or in those articles which don't have much chances for improvement. -- Human 3015   TALK    19:55, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Removal of Promotional and COI templates looks acceptable if no solid objections are raised. I skimmed the article and made a few minor changes. Like most College articles it is enthusiastically developed, but I didn't see any glaring need for warning templates. I checked the article history. I see the article is vastly improved since since the Peacock template was added in 2011. The RfC author Sarwalia1004 seems to be doing good work in the recent changes. This is a ping for Arctic_Night who added the Peacock template (Arctic_Night seems inactive since 2011). This is a ping for Rubbish computer who added the COI template (Rubbish computer is actively editing). They are invited to show up and let us know if they still have any concerns.

 * I'll go through it again before commenting: in case it looks odd that I'm editing the article without coming here. Rubbish computer 22:38, 13 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I added the COI tag as "we" was used to describe the college's facilities. One problem with the article was the number of inline external links which didn't serve as references. Rubbish computer 23:56, 13 September 2015 (UTC) Rubbish computer 23:56, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I removed the peacock template after going over the article's wording a bit more, and will leave the COI tag there pending discussion. Rubbish computer 07:54, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Table and sources for discussion
The university is financed primarily from grant-in-aid of the state government and through grants received from the central government through ICAR, as well income from student tuition fees, sponsored research and the university farm. The total allocated budget for the university in 2008–2009 stood at Rs 201.194 crores (~ US$48 million), which puts Pantnagar among the top five SAUs in terms of financial resources. In recognition of its achievements, Pantnagar was selected for a special one-time grant of Rs 50 crores, as announced in the Union budget of 2007–2008.

I removed the above content from the article, for discussion. Maybe someone else can salvage this content. Alsee (talk) 22:40, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * There were a pair of named-refs using a duplicate name. I changed them to name="iasri2008" and name="iasri2011".
 * There was a named-ref in the paragraph citing that same name. It is unclear which ref it was supposed to be. I changed it into a broken ref name="iasriUNKNOWN". (This is why ref 3 in the reflist comes up blank.)
 * Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I'm having trouble matching up any of the figures at iasri2008 with the figures in the table.
 * I'm having trouble finding anything of relevance at iasri2011.
