Local tower in the university, clearly not notable. Nothing in WP:RS. Fails WP:GNG. No WP:COI here please as I can see from nom three years back. If you are from Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, then please don't comment here. Alternate would be to redirect. Störm  (talk)  08:39, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology seems to be the obvious solution. If it's part of the Institute and a symbol of the Institute then why is a separate article (with little if any extra information) warranted? I don't see its purpose. Granted, it is clearly a very tall and noticeable clock tower, but was it built separately for a different reason, or simply to give the Institute a 'presence'? Doesn't seem to be independently notable, in my view. Sionk (talk) 11:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge per Sionk's explanation. Also Storm, students and faculty of the institute have every right to comment on this nomination if they want; we don't block people from commenting on an AfD as long as they advance a good reason for their vote!. If Sionk hadn't been persuasive I might've asked for a speedy keep based on a WP:BADFAITH nomination. Keep cool and nominate neutrally, please.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 12:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge into the parent article, per Sionk. I'm all for including Urdu and Pashto sources, as suggested by in the previous AfD, in order to establish independent notability. But none were added ever since. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 18:07, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge into parent per current lacking sourcing and args above, and can be SPINOUT if needed later. Widefox ; talk 11:43, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
