Advertising. References consist of various mentions and press releases advertising the program. Borderline notability at best, and borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is a good for deletion reason. Small variations to the notability standard either way do not fundamentally harm the encycopedia, but accepting articles that are part of a promotional campaign causes great damage. Once we become a vehicle for promotion, we're useless as an encycopedia  DGG ( talk ) 01:25, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep obviously. Aakash is quite popular here in India and has received lots of news coverage, that can be used as references. I am in the process of cleaning up the article at Talk:Aakash Educational Services Limited/sandbox (since the article itself is semi-protected). 103.6.159.65 (talk) 18:51, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Based on the update in the sandbox above, I would say that one is closer to removing most of the advertising nature of the article. It is one of the top educational coaching services in India, so the notability is there. I was going to replace the material from the sandbox with what is currently in the article, but I would rather wait for the result of this AfD first. Inomyabcs (talk) 14:03, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep; from the developments above I feel comfortable !voting keep. We can always bring it back here. Kharkiv07  ( T ) 19:51, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
