Samhita Madras Institute of Technology

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable technology festival at an University. The Madras Institute of Technology is a thoroughly notable university college, but that does not mean that everything which happens there is notable.

When I found the article yesterday it was full of peacock terms (see this version), so i reverted it back to the last (stubby) version in an encyclopedic tone.

However, none of the versions of this article appear to offer any assertion of notability or evidence of notability, and I have found no trace of it in a few searches (though my searches may be inadequate, because Samhita is a generic term with many other uses. The only relevant external coverage is a link to an article in The Hindu, but that's just a brief 142-word mention of the festival. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:06, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Delete and Merge Not notable to have an article of its own. Delete and merge with Madras Institute of Technology.  Srikanth (Logic)  13:23, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Delete - non notable departmental function. There are less than 10 departments in MIT and the IT department is less than a decade old. A single word mention in the MIT article is enough--Sodabottle (talk) 14:35, 29 March 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JForget  00:29, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Madras Institute of Technology. However, I'm not sure this article can then be deleted, as it should be retained (as a redirect) to preserve the edit history.   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 14:49, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Nothing really to be merged. A redirect is an option, but the current title is not the appropriate redirect. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  07:04, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
