 * Delete I agree with Curbon7 about the mass nominations. It's usually better to spread them out more. If for no other reason then it keeps from being procedurally kept or disputed based on the grounds that the nominator didn't do a proper BEFORE. Not that I'm saying they didn't. More on topic, this university clearly isn't notable. I couldn't even find trivial name drops in any schools directories that usually exist. That said, maybe someone with a better knowledge of Indian sources can find something about it. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:15, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Note: The page has been nominated by me after due checks after a user asked me to review a list of pages on my talk page. I verified the articles first and then nominated as there is nothing notable with these institutes, the pages merely establish institute existence. I hope the other editors would take an independent view considering the Wikipedia guidelines on notability and the references / citation on record.Advait (talk) 07:31, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is invalid rationale for this college/university. Per WP:UNIN In general, all colleges and universities are de facto notable and should be included on Wikipedia. Polyamorph (talk) 12:49, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * UNIN is an essay and your leaving out the part of it that says "the document you are now reading is not a policy or guideline and should not be treated as such." So hopefully your vote is ignored by whoever closes this. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:15, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * No. I have used the essay to illustrate why the stated and sole rationale provided for deletion SCHOOLOUTCOMES is invalid. Hence speedy keep. Polyamorph (talk) 04:48, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  01:27, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment After receiving some pushback on my use of an essay in my !vote, I note that my speedy keep is on the basis that the WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES rationale is invalid as WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES (an explanatory supplement to deletion policy) clearly states Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions have enough coverage to be notable, although that coverage may not be readily available online.. The essay WP:UNIN (not policy) explains this more succinctly. So no valid deletion rationale has been provided by the nom, who appears not to have performed WP:BEFORE (as evidenced by the fact that some previous discussions kept these articles on the basis of WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES!). The OP should explain why they decided to obey instructions from an IP user on their talk page to nominate these articles for deletion - this shows at best naivety on the part of the nominator and at worst meatpuppetry.

 * Note: Nominator blocked for sock puppetry. Polyamorph (talk) 13:11, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Reliable sources need to be added, as there are none listed. Multi7001 (talk) 04:19, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * There's none listed because there aren't any. That's sorta the point in this. -Adamant1 (talk) 07:27, 9 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep - nominated by sockpuppet whose MO is nominating articles for deletion, with no thought to their notability. And really - universities aren't notable? Nfitz (talk) 00:06, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, same argument as Polyamorph regarding universities and notability. However, the lack of sources and the relatively recent establishment of the institute are problematic. If there were somewhere to redirect to, this would be a good outcome for now, but I am not convinced there's a viable target. So keep. QuiteUnusual (talk) 13:25, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is listed as an argument "to avoid in deletion discussions". Take away that, and there is no deletion rationale present. NemesisAT (talk) 19:26, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
