Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Institute of Management in Kerala


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ to University of Kerala. Just wanted to add that this is the typical closure for an academic department or institute. It takes exceptional notability to warrant a stand-alone article. Existence is not sufficient. Liz Read! Talk! 04:37, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep I support the retention of the article on the Institute of Management in Kerala as it is a valuable and informative article that gives an overview of the IMK, which is a department of the University of Kerala that offers various courses in management, marketing, branding, and entrepreneurship. The article is not a vanity or advertisement article, but rather a neutral and factual description of the IMK. The article cites the official website of the IMK as a primary source, which is valid and authentic. The IMK is a notable institution that has been linked with the University of Kerala since its inception in 1991. The IMK has played a significant role in the academic and administrative development of the University of Kerala and the state of Kerala. The IMK has also been involved in various research projects, consultancy services, training programs, and executive development programs for various organizations and institutions. The IMK organizes an annual management fest called Mania, which is a platform for students to showcase their skills and talents in various events and competitions. The fest also provides an opportunity for students to interact with industry experts, academicians, and alumni. The IMK has several facilities for its students and faculty, such as a library, a computer lab, a conference hall, an auditorium, a cafeteria, and a hostel. The IMK has two campuses, one at Senate House Campus, Palayam and another at Kariavattom Campus. The IMK Kariavattom Campus has recently launched a new MBA program in Shipping and Logistics, in collaboration with the Indian Maritime University (IMU). The IMK Kariavattom Campus has also conducted a national seminar on Sanskrit and Indian Knowledge Systems, in association with the Vedanta Study Centre of the University of Kerala. The IMK has received several awards and recognitions for its academic excellence and social responsibility. The IMK has also produced several notable alumni who have made significant contributions to various fields of society and industry. Therefore, I request you to keep the article on the Institute of Management in Kerala as it meets the criteria for notability and verifiability. Alfiyas (talk) 05:54, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Those sources won't do, for more or less the same reasons I outlined above. I'd suggest taking a look at the Wikipedia general notability guidelines to get a sense of the coverage needed for a Wikipedia article. Quality sources and an explanation of how they demonstrate notability will strengthen your case for the article more effectively than any number of inappropriate sources.

 * Redirect to University of Kerala, which could use some expansion about some individual parts of the school before spinning any out. The bar is typically high for a stand-alone article on an academic unit. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 14:49, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
