NIILM School of Business (NSB)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article seems to be advertising the school. While it *seems* notable, I couldn't even access the websites given because all the web alerts/anti-viruses get set off from detected malware. Dengero (talk) 07:01, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as copyvio and pure spam. Abductive  (reasoning) 08:51, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Assume good faith as to the website contents.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.172.92.157 (talk) 09:57, 13 June 2010 (UTC)  — 32.172.92.157 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Weak Keep I have removed the obvious copyvio (while a lot of the rest looks like a copyvio, I couldn't locate the source). This still appears like it is an advert — but this is not a reason to delete. The article needs work to make it encyclopedic, but again, that is not a reason to delete. The ratings linked to at Business India (whose criteria for inclusion states "The survey is generally restricted to institutions approved by AICTE or recognized by the UGC." (see http://www.bibschoolsurvey.com/FAQ.htm), and this institution is recognised by UGC — see below), Competition Success Review, and the Dalal Street Investment Journal would seem to indicate notability. Secondary Schools, Colleges and Universities are generally counted as notable, as long as their existence can be proven (which it can by the above links). Accreditation is also useful (although some unaccredited institutes may be notable), and this page at their website says:
 * NSB-NIILM School of Business is having Educational Accreditation with the following UGC recognized Universities:
 * NSB-NIILM School of Business (Centre Code No. 1148) is an authorized centre of "Guru Jambheshwar University of Science & Technology, Hissar" UGC Recognized, HRD Ministry approved and "A" Grade NAAC Accredited for running MBA course in July Batches.
 * NSB - NIILM School of Business (Centre Code No. 2269) is an authorized centre of "Maharishi Dayanand University, Rohtak" UGC Recognized, HRD Ministry approved and "B++" Grade NAAC Accredited for running MBA Course in Jan Batches.
 * On the whole, I think there is enough evidence to show that this institution meets the criteria for inclusion, even if the article needs a major revamp --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 11:54, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * On a side-tracked question, did your computer present you with multiple malware warnings when you accessed their site? Dengero (talk) 13:11, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * No - despite up-to-date anti virus protection. I see that Google shows it has having problems (see here): "Of the 14 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 1 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2010-05-26, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2010-05-25." It might be that I did not visit any problematic pages. --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 13:25, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Extremely Weak Keep I did a severe edit to remove several unverifiable claims and blatant copyvios as well as uninformative sentences with several adjectives. Verifiable, borderline notable - weak keep? prashanthns (talk) 20:35, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The article creator has added some email addresses. I don't think they understand the rules. Abductive  (reasoning) 07:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * As said below, a newcomer. I have removed such information and cleaned the article and left him a note on his talk page. prashanthns (talk) 08:27, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spartaz Humbug! 19:35, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep While the information the article creator added was purely promotional (Well, he's only a newcomer anyway, so we'll let him off for that). I think this article should be kept. It is a school article, and a lot of schools are usually kept on the encyclopedia. Minima  c  ( talk ) 08:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice to a proper article being written by someone else. Author clearly has a COI. Article is too spammy. Incidentally Google reports: This site may harm your computer. so the link to their site should be deleted. &mdash; RHaworth 09:05, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - Content can easily be edited or stubbed. Accredited universities are automatically kept.Minnowtaur (talk) 04:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as a degree awarding institution. Sources are available from which the page can be expanded. TerriersFan (talk) 20:21, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
