Al Jamiatul Ashrafia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The bulk of this article is based on one written source, that of Usha Sanyal, an expert on the movement which founded the school. There is another source mentioning a cleric who once attended it, and that's all the source says - only that he attended. The other source is a dead link. This subject fails Notability (organizations and companies), which even applies to educational institutions per WP:NSCHOOL. The article creator was a now indeffed sockpuppet account which created a great deal of articles on non-notable subjects, most of which have now been deleted as well.

 * Keep per usual outcomes. All universities (excluding degree mills) are notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:19, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Are you sure about that? According to WP:ORGSIG, not organization inherits notability, even schools. I'm not asking this passive aggressively, I do actually want clarification; I've seen educational institutions deleted before so this is a bit surprising to me.

 * Nobody is making any claim of inheriting notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:22, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how to view the statement that usual outcomes lead to all schools being notable. I've looked again and what I'm finding in the guideline is that not even schools are exempt from the notability guideline; were I shown otherwise I would likely withdraw the nomination. Barring that, I don't see how this subject even passes the general notability guideline and I still think the article ought to be deleted. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:39, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * However one might view that statement it's nothing to do with inheriting notability. What is anyone saying that this inherits notability from? Phil Bridger (talk) 10:22, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * If all universities are considered notable, wouldn't that be considered an inherent trait of such articles? That was the impression I had from the statement. If that isn't the case, then we (or at least me, since I'm still not seeing the notability here) are faced with the issue of all universities being notable. Perhaps that is the usual outcome, but I don't remember hearing that before now, thus my surprise at the statement. MezzoMezzo (talk) 12:02, 25 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. As one of the largest colleges of a sect with over 200 million members I think it can definitely be classed as notable. That has nothing to do with inheriting notability and everything to do with common sense. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:14, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
