Sri Sankaradeva Nethralaya, Guwahati

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to be a notable organization; a search for sources resulted mostly in passing mentions in news sites or unreliable sources such as company listing. I couldn't find enough significant reliable coverage specifically about the organization. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:23, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

It is a notable organisation. The then prime minister of India Narasimha Rao inaugurated it in 1995. In year 2004, the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh awarded it with the title centre of excellence. Please check news link : And The Telegraph is a top newspaper in India. So you can trust the above link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:B10E:BED1:DE94:C37E:E6E0:282 (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

The institution also features in the Government of India, official website of North east council, after being eligible for financial assistances. Check it here: — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:B10C:2858:8AB2:A337:8192:446 (talk) 13:58, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That's odd, said sources didn't appear in my search. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:21, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

If prime minister of India visits a institution, and awards it with the title CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE, then ofcourse it is a notable organisation. It is also mentioned in Govt of India website for North East council. So, I hope the article won't remain in article for deletion list anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahatabuz1997 (talk • contribs) 14:39, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment Please refrain from prematurely closing deletion discussions unless the snowball clause applies or if the nominator explicitly withdraws the nomination. Also, articles creators and editors who have participated in deletion discussions are discouraged from closing nominations early, except for the latter case. In this case, I did not withdraw the nomination, and although I may have added a comment that sounded like that was the intention, it was not my intention. In any case, let this AfD run its course and let consensus decide if the references you mentioned are enough to establish notability. Thank you.

I am again adding the links for your consideration.
 * Comment Thanks for letting me know.  I am new to adding articles to Wikipedia, so I thought I can also close the afD, as I had given links and reasons why not to delete the article. That was a mistake, I am sorry for that.

The prime minister of India visited it in the year 2004,and awarded with the title centre of excellence, as per the The Telegraph newspaper. Here is the link :  https://www.telegraphindia.com/1041122/asp/guwahati/story_4032596.asp

If a prime minister can visit and award a title to a institution, then no one can claim that it is not a notable institution. Isn't it?

Also, The North east council of Government of India, provided financial assistance to the institution, and also written about the organisation in their official website. Here is the link : http://necouncil.gov.in/index3.asp?sslid=130&subsublinkid=206

The above website ends with gov.in, which means it is regulated by government of India. So it is a reliable source.

There are many other websites and reference which mentions about the institution. But I only added the above two as these are the most reliable ones. I hope these will be sufficient. If you need more, ask for it.

 * DO NOT DELETE I don't have anything more to say! Just would like to repeat the earlier comments again.

The above website ends with gov.in, which means it is regulated by government of India. So it is a reliable source.

Also, Sankara Nethralaya situated in Chennai, India is a sister institution of it. There are many Nethralaya in India, run by a single charitable organisation. This article is about one of those Nethralaya, situated in Northeastern Indian city of Guwahati.

Nethralaya means the house of the Eye. These Nethralayas are eyecare hospitals and institutions all over India!!

Being the creator of this article, I would like to urge the administrator to do the decision of either keeping or deleting this article as soon as possible. Already about 10days have passed. I think its better to close this discussion soon. BlackAnt1997 (talk) 23:29, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
