Page created by employee of University to promote them. Salt and burn. Itsalleasy (talk) 17:19, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'll simply comment for now as academics is not my comfort zone but I thinking salting is unnecessary as the only other time it was deleted was a "blanked by author" last month. SwisterTwister talk 21:00, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. In the Indian system, vice chancellor is the "highest-level elected or appointed academic post" as demanded by WP:PROF#C6. The question should be whether Pacific University Udaipur is a "major academic institution" as also demanded by that criterion. My feeling is that membership in the Association of Indian Universities is a reasonably clear test for this, in which case it passes. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:06, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. University vice-chancellors are generally notable. Yes, the question is whether this is a major academic institution, but I think he scrapes through. Some rather over-zealous comments from the nominator, I feel. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:30, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As stated by David Eppstein, in the Indian system, vice chancellor is the "highest-level elected or appointed academic post" which should satisfy WP:PROF. The university, though not one of the most prominent ones, seems notable enough to be considered close to what we call a "major academic institution", if not that. — Yash! ^(Y) 02:39, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He passes a criteria of notability for academics. The article could use improvement, but the subject is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:18, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
