Global University Ranking

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Brand-new university ranking that fails WP:GNG - no sources really discuss it outside of a passing mention that I've been able to find. Ghit count is misleading; Newsweek (and apparently USNWR according to some sources?) released a ranking with the same name at one point, and many sources also just use the name generically ("people have been trying to create a definitive global university ranking for quite some time"). &mdash; DroEsperanto (talk) 23:48, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * without comment on the rest just yet, I moved the article to the actual title of the project, The New Global Ranking of World Universities -- this will at any rate eliminate the ambiguity. I have left the redirect, but if the article is kept after the AfD, the redirect should be deleted because of the problem mentioned above. The article seems a rough translation, and in this respect and in others, it would need considerable rewording. Does anyone know if there is a corresponding article under any title in the Russian WP, or whether it has by possibly been deleted there?    DGG ( talk ) 16:50, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. There are plenty of university rankings why is one with no track record and support fr a reputable publication notable? Furthermore there appears to be quantitative mistakes in the data collection. Astuishin  (talk) 00:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless WP:RS can be found. I had made a good faith request for such coverage on the talk page and searched for myself as well, but seeing as how nothing has come to fruition yet, this appears to be "just another ranking" without qualification of notability. -- Kinu t /c  20:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
