previously speedy deleted page under G11 and A7( not applicable). see Global development institute. page also lacks multiple credible sources to support its claim of significance and created by GDI UoM (Global Development Institute University of Manchester) so a serious case of WP:COI.

 * Delete: Previous instances of this article were created last week by User:Globaldevelopmentinstitute, which was reminded about WP:COI standards and then blocked. What looks like the same article has now been created by User:GDI UoM. Leaving aside WP:SOCK and undeclared COI matters, there is no evidence of WP:RS coverage of this Institute, which was formed last month. At best WP:TOOSOON; until better can be demonstrated, through accomplishments over a period of time, maybe the name variants should be WP:SALTed? AllyD (talk) 08:08, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per CSD G5(created by blocked user in violation of block). The two creators of this page seem to be the same person. I have started an SPI. 331dot (talk) 08:51, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
