October 6 University

As it stands, this article is an advertisement; but it contains a lot of information, and could be rewritten if anyone cares to take the time to do so. Xiaphias 03:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep & clean up, a good trim would make it less objectionable. Seems to be accredited by the Egyptian government; I don't know how we judge non-US educational institutions but it certainly seems to merit inclusion at first blush. (Btw, .eg web address is down, try o6u.org instead.) --Dhartung | Talk 03:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I zapped all the blatant copyvios from the website. Stubby now but not an advert. --Dhartung | Talk 04:10, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It doesn't soundlike Xiaphias actually wanted to delete the article, in which case he didn't need to take it to AfD. Morgan Wick 04:29, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep it's notable, but clean-up/wikify/rewrite like other Egyptian universities. I can help with that. — Zerida 21:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I think all world universities should be considered notable, assuming we have enough information to write an article, as we do here. The practical problem is that a great many such articles are copyvios & need rewriting, without that much to go on besides the website. DGG 04:27, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Cleanup Universities are inherently notable. Students, developements and alumni are likely to be mentioned all the time by local media. However, the article should be cleaned up to not read like an ad.--Kylohk 12:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
