 * Delete, subject appears to have been the equivalent of a high school principal. Unfortunately, there is nothing to suggest that he was a particularly notable one.  Sorry.  JBsupreme  ( talk ) 10:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per JBsupreme. I'm not convinced that the institute he ran rises to the level of "significant accredited college or university" of WP:PROF #6. Is it really a college in the U.S. sense of a purely post-secondary institution, or is it more analogous to a U.S. high school? Is it independent of Karnataka University or just a subunit of it? In what sense is it "significant"? "Gokhale Centenary College" itself does not have any news coverage in Google news archive; Naik's name is common enough to make searching more difficult but I infer from this that he does not himself pass WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:23, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment He was the principal of a college that awards undergraduate degrees (the equivalent of B.S. degrees), not a high school. In Karnataka, the state system combines the last two years of high school with college, therefore, this particular college also offers those last two years. Also note that, unlike in the US, colleges are independent units of the university, the only connection being the syllabus and administration of exams (and this particular one is not like a community college). That said, I don't know if a college principal satisfies WP:PROF#6. – Spaceman  Spiff  07:01, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep it  depend son the relationship of Gokhale Centenary College, Ankola to Karnataka University, which is given in the article on the college as "affiliated" If it is an independent institution administratively, he's notable. the term "college" unfortunately has almost as many meanings as "affiliated". The article on the University makes it clear that only the colleges in the same city are administered as part of the university,and the many other affiliates are not actually part of the university.Thisis therefore in practice an independent college-level academic institution.

 * Comment College education system at Karnatak university is similar to what you find in Mysore University,Bangalore University, Kuvempu University in Karnataka state and the University of Mumbai in Maharashtra and the other neighbouring universities. The colleges in a geographical region belong to the nearest university in that region. A few are government colleges whereas many are private colleges. On an average, 100-400 such colleges belong to a university. All colleges are under the strict supervision of the university.  The Britishers established the education systems in India.  In the US, for example, Rowan University is entirly situated in Glassboro town in N. J.
 * fyi- Wikipedia article traffic statistics is another way of measuring popularity especially during afd process...Usually this number shoots up when in demand/in trouble. --DoNotTellDoNotAsk (talk) 03:13, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
