Bhagwan Mahavir Education Foundation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is on an organization which appears to be a holding company for private colleges in India, founded in 2002. The article is only sourced to two government registries. A BEFORE search on JSTOR, Google News, and Google Books finds only this incidental mention in a table. It's possible the colleges may be notable (though none currently have articles) but per WP:INHERITED that wouldn't make the Bhagwan Mahavir Education Foundation notable. Fails GNG.

 * Keep. In the United States and Canada, a non-profit that operates multiple college campuses is generally referred to as a college or university, such as Champlain Regional College, Université du Québec or University of California. In India, such an organization is not called a university or college, but a foundation. I'm going to suggest that we start calling these foundations "college systems", by analogy with university system, and treat them as notable based on the teaching work done by their operating units. Non-profit multi-campus foundations are an important part of education in India, and Wikipedia doesn't have much coverage of them. Similarly, non-profits that operate multiple high schools can be considered "high school systems" (not school districts, because that implies government-run).

 * While this may be true, WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES says that only accredited higher education institutions generally qualify for inherent notability. I don't find Bhagwan Mahavir, or any of its colleges, listed among accredited institutions at the NAAC website . If I've missed something, though, I will happily withdraw the nom.
