Notability hasn't been established. SpacemanSpiff (talk) 05:28, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Within the article: Reference 1 doesn't work, but on searching for it on the newspaper site, it is a mention of an exhibition held by this company, in the city pages of the newspaper. Reference 2, is a statement of someone connected to this company on the website of a University (which may or may not have notability issues). Reference 3 is the company website. Reference 4 is company website in the EU, under construction. There are six mentions in city pages of local newspapers through this Google India news search. Doesn't pass WP:ORG -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 05:37, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: I had to do a second nomination since the first one got red-linked and I wasn't able to access it after trying to go through. If someone in the know could merge the two, it be great. Thx -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 05:40, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * "delete" no evidence of notability presented and I can't find any a quick scout around the web. --Cameron Scott (talk) 07:51, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Borderline Keep for now - ExpressIndia currently seems to have database issues, which prevents us from accessing potential sources. Google news has 3 articles which may or may not be useful. Google Search also provides some material. Whether this will amount to sufficient reliable sources to keep is hard to evaluate, however, doubt should benefit the article. Last but not least there is a risk of systemic bias against this kind of organization, I suggest making sure this is flagged for attention with WP:INDIA to see if they can help improve the article. Long story short: reasonable doubt as potential news sources cannot be immediately evaluated amounts to default keep until proved otherwise. MLauba (talk) 08:11, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Found a number of newspaper articles like this one, where its work is mentioned. though the article needs proper referencing, this could help - Google news here. Just because it is not a conglomerate which would readily get reported in media, there is no need to display such eagerness to deleted it. And that would only show a long term myopia. This one should be allowed to grow by also informing its creators etc. Above all, relax! I would assume Good faith and wait a while...--Ekabhishek (talk) 10:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I went through the news links before I put it up for AfD. A majority of them are related to other organizations with "Educare" in their name including a school for Dyslexics, a tutorial college in Mumbai and so on. And as I mentioned in my AfD note, they are city page listings except for the Tribune article. The same user (and their now banned Socks) also created similar and "hooking" pages : International Internship in India, EduCARE India, Baljinder,, i.e.india (Internship in EduCARE India), Ruraldevse. Given all this and the lack of anything proving notability other than the one Tribune article about the joint symposium and other city page calendar events, the lack of good faith, and my AfD. Should have made it more clear initially. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 22:08, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
