 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Original research about the engineering colleges within one University in Orissa. Author put it best at the end of the article - "All content of above is sole view of the author.Though all care is taken to be complete and factual the content may be not completely actual.Author bears no responsibility for the realness of the content." PROD was contested, so it's here. Strong Delete SpacemanSpiff (talk) 15:55, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I am also nominating the following related pages because as they are versions of the above page; although I'm doing this a little late, I don't think this is a problem as the two people who have voted delete here so far have also tagged the articles for CSD/PROD and I don't think we need to go through the cat and mouse game of waiting for the author to remove PRODs once more. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 17:30, 12 July 2009 (UTC):

 * Speedy delete as spam. I will tag it now. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:14, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * delete but not speedy. This is Original Research, not spam for anything in particular. I removed the tag. The article is present under various other names, and I have put prod tags on them all and advised the author. A list of all the engineering colleges in Orissa might well be defensible, as they or their parent institution are all very likely to be considered notable. DGG (talk) 16:32, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I still see it as spam. The use of "top" in the title (and "best" in some of the author's other articles), the inclusion of contact details and puffery, and the lack of much actual encyclopaedic information all seem to prove it, so my recommendation remains to "speedy delete" however if this is really not possible then my second preference is "very strong delete". Note: The author has made a few other very similar articles and my recommendation for them is the same. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:38, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Back in the day before my hiatus, 9 out of 10 WP:NOR cases could be solved by a rewrite. However, in this case, as judging by the title, this article's purpose is to examine what the best engineering colleges are, which is fundamentally a purpose which violates WP:NOR.

 * Additional Just noticed two more articles have been nominated under this umbrella. !Vote Delete for the other two, on the same basis as my first !vote. Otumba (talk) 17:39, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete May not be intentional spam or "Unambiguous advertising or promotion", but certainly unencyclopaedic OR. TheSmuel (talk) 17:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with User:TheSmuel.  SparksBoy (talk) 17:47, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as OR. Honestly looks like advertising to me, but it's ambiguous. --Mpdelbuono (talk) 19:23, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOR. Salih  ( talk ) 19:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Snowball Delete All The title dooms the article, and it's all WP:OR. Not speedy-able, but obviously not an appropriate approach to what could be a notable subject under a neutral title and with actual sources to verify it. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:23, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
