 * Keep. Accredited, degree-awarding tertiary institution. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:24, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , for your information, it is not 'degree awarding'. Degrees are awarded by the University of Karachi. It is only affiliated. Störm   (talk)  15:34, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * That is purely hair-splitting. It is a degree college. And we have almost always kept these in the past. For your information, British polytechnics didn't award their own degrees either. But they were still notable institutions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:42, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

*Keep - per WP:NORG which excludes educational institutions. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 06:12, 25 January 2020 (UTC) Please consider my Delete !vote below. --KartikeyaS343 (talk) 07:45, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * NORG states in the second paragraph: Simply stated, an organization is a group of more than one person formed together for a purpose. This includes commercial and non-commercial activities, such as charitable organizations, political parties, hospitals, institutions, interest groups, social clubs, companies, partnerships, proprietorships, for-profit educational institutions or organizations, etc. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:56, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes I understood but why do you think it is a for-profit educational institutions? At least this is not any private education institute but a accredited college. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 20:02, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. If it was non-profit, then it would have been mentioned on the college listing websites, or somewhere in the article itself; and somewhat because of the entries like these. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:38, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I see. This is a serious concern if true. I also searched about this institution and found this business listing so it is a delete from me.--KartikeyaS343 (talk) 07:42, 29 January 2020 (UTC)


 * delete I couldnt find any reliable source even remotely mentioning the college. I could find only one non-reliable source stating the college was closed down, it didnt mention when. I have seen you around in WP:RM a lot, and I respect you. I think you are not familiar with colleges/system from India or Pakistan. They are simply business. Unlike in other countries, first of all you have to pay the fees. In case of education loan, it is not the responsibility of the college. It is either of the government's responsibilty, or the student has get to loan from the bank. But the colleges demand the money up-front. Pure business. Vandalism of this article: special:diff/409613661. It has been at least 9 years since the college is down, and I couldnt find when it closed down. Only one non-reliable source mentions it being inoperative, but not since when. All other sources seems to be unaware that the college has gone defunct. That shows is how much notable the college is: nothing at all. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:15, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I entirely understand that. But there is no essential difference for our purposes between a for-profit college and a not-for-profit college. If they are accredited and award degrees they are generally considered to be notable. And being defunct is irrelevant to notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:15, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * In Pakistan, every degree awarding college must get accredited before becoming operational. It is not a feat of achievement/notability. It is part of the basic requirement process. I didnt mean to tie notability with operational status. What I meant was, it is non-notable that even the local media/college listing websites havent noticed/acknowledged it been defunct since at least 9 years. They still show it operational. I couldnt even find the date when it went defunct, not any kind of sources. I am saying such disregard by these sources shows lack of notability. —usernamekiran (talk) 09:35, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - per discussion above with . This is a non-noatble business in the education sector. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 07:43, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
