The result was keep as this seems clear enough and continuing it is unlikely to clarify any better, it's worth noting that degree-awarding schools are notable (NAC). SwisterTwister  talk  03:27, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

People Institute of Management Studies, Munnad

Non-notable private college. Article is purely promotional, created by someone with a COI.  Harry   Let us have speaksundefined 08:59, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep People Institute of Management Studies is affiliated to the Kannur University as per the website of the latter: http://14.139.185.42/newsite/colleges/ksd%20mba%20colleges.htm


 * Comment The above is by the article's creator. The link provided does not mention Kannur University. Even if it did, this Institute is not notable and the article appears to have been created simply to promote a commercial organisation. Wikipedia is not a directory of organisations.

 * Kannur University doesn't give the name of the university in it's sub pages. It is strange. --Prof TPMS (talk) 09:38, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Per the long-established consensus at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES AusLondonder (talk) 18:46, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment It appears that we are dealing with: "Departments or degree programs within a university, college, or school are generally not considered notable unless they have made significant contributions to their field." It is being claimed that this is a department of Kannur University and there is no indication that it has made any significant contributions in its field. What we have is a bare bones directory entry which at the very least should be merged with the University's article.   Harry    Let us have speaksundefined 19:11, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Please make arguments based on guidelines and policies, rather than outcomes.  Sandstein  19:13, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kannur University. I found no significant coverage in reliable sources. Appears to be a non-notable subunit or department of a university. Regards, James(talk/contribs) 18:16, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Clarification from the author: Kannur University has its own departments in different parts of Kannur and Kasaragod. In addition, they also have affiliated colleges in these areas.  People Institute of Management Studies, Munnad is a duly affiliated college of Kannur University and the fact is clearly mentioned in the website of the University which is given as a reference in the page.  The college is certainly new but not very new:it is already six years old.  It is a very notable organization because it is an MBA college and the infrastructure requirements and other conditions for MBA colleges is quite extensive in the Kannur University jurisdiction, as far as I can understand.
 * Keep as a degree-awarding institution per longstanding precedent and consensus. In India there are thousands of colleges affiliated to large universities; these are, however, independent institutions, not sub-units of those universities. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:36, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. This is an independent college, NOT a sub-unit or a department of Kannur University. Vipinhari  &#124;&#124;  talk  17:09, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Outcomes reflect consensus. And consensus drives AfD. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:56, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
