Gemsville Technical University

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I can't find a thing about this technical school in Guyana. Website is broken, FB is inactive and useless. The citations included are all-what do you call it when they're only tangentially related to the subject just to make the article look well referenced? Like, they link to an RS about an organization, but no mention of the topic therein? I noticed the original author is SPA and had this article rejected at AfC a few times, and I don't see this ever actually passing? Either way, even if this school closed soon after the article was made, 2015 isn't ancient history by internet standards, yet nothing. Estheim (talk) 23:01, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. I don't know what you call it either, but it's the sort of thing where someone might write, "He graduated from the University of Michigan and then became an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. " -- in other words, the citations prove only that the University of Michigan and the FBI exist, which was never in doubt. The sourcing here is quite poor. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:41, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Exactly, . The closest thing I found was a template for "irrelevant citation", but that's specific to a single citation and not as a chronic issue over the entire page. It seems like a tactic for editors 'desperate' to give their page legitimacy, like fan-cruft or COI, and sort of in the same vein as overlinking. Either way, in this case, even a 'one time' name drop undermines it's GNG. Estheim (talk) 13:23, 17 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete due to lack of sources. If this is a still-existent university, or a university which formerly existed but is now defunct, I would support re-creating the article if reliable sources discussing the university were available. Given that this university may have been established more recently than when I became a Wikipedia administrator, reliable sources ought to be available. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:10, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
