OASIS (culfest)

no actual evidence for notability; the basics are already in the article for the university.  DGG ( talk ) 03:34, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep/rename Oasis festival - it's been around for 40+ years, is massive and is one of the biggest events in Indian education,  —Мандичка YO 😜 08:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - Seems to be a lot of idiot cruft out of India lately, as some there appear to be unable to tell the difference between social media and an encyclopedia. No one outside the university gives two ^$#@ about "Rap Wars" and "Mr. Oasis", this is not encyclopedic material in the slightest.  Expand Birla Institute of Technology and Science by another paragraph and be done with it, the parent article is not overly long. Tarc (talk) 13:33, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * idiot cruft out of India? That's definitely not showing a bias in any way. Lame. What kind of research did you do into this topic to see if it's notable? Sounds like not very much, since you think it involves only one university.  —Мандичка YO 😜 14:45, 1 June 2015 (UTC)


 * The opening line "OASIS is a cultural festival conducted annually by the students of Birla Institute of Technology and Science..." is fairly self-explanatory to native English speakers; that those from other colleges also attend is irrelevant. Expand the parent article, there is no justification for a standalone.  "Idiot cruft" isn't solely an Indian thing, there's plenty of American-centric junk like Aggie Bonfire leadership that needs pruning, but this is a good place to start. Tarc (talk) 15:18, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * How is it irrelevant that other colleges attend, Tarc? That's the whole point. They are attending because they are interested. By your logic, if Florida State football hosted and played in the national championships game, the other team wouldn't give two shits about the event. That they even attend is irrelevant. —Мандичка YO 😜 16:38, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Apples and oranges, as the BCS, or whatever they call it at present, is a collective entity. This is an event organized by a single institution, that attendees fro mother institution attend.  It is not notable apart from the parent. Tarc (talk) 15:07, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect per Tarc: One cannot say "delete and merge," but I'd prefer that. And for the highly argumentative, consider this: Ramblin Wreck parade. That can't be red can it? Shock! Gasp! That's because one finds the material in Georgia Tech traditions, and the Ramblin Wreck parade is a lot older than any 40 years. Yes: nationally known universities with intramural traditions do not necessarily get independent articles. Hithladaeus (talk) 20:00, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Birla Institute of Technology and Science. Solntsa90 (talk) 00:29, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Selective Merge to Birla Institute of Technology and Science § Oasis. Not finding enough coverage to qualify a standalone article per WP:EVENTCRIT. North America1000 00:45, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
