The result was keep. Meets WP:ACADEMIC as Vice Chancellor is the highest administrative position in most universities while the position of Chancellor is just ceremonial. It might not be so in some universities, but for this discussion and for the university in question, the Vice Chancellor is indeed the highest administrative officer.

No indication of notability. The references are either primary or just simple routine coverage like academic announcements. KSAWikipedian (talk) 02:20, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete University administrator, does not meet WP:ACADEMIC, does not qualify per any SSG, lack of published reliable INDEPENDENT sourcing on the subject. A loose necktie (talk) 12:14, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Since he is Vice chancelor, the top academic position at a univeristy, he would meet one of the academic notability guidelines, but only if Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University is the level of university that confers such notability on its academic heads. I am not familiar enough with that university to say if it is, and I actually have doubts we have figured out exactly which universities are notable enough to confer such notability on their heads.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:57, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the mean time, what we DO have is WP:GNG, which is our go-to guideline when we do not have an SSG in any particular area, and which all of our articles are supposed to be meeting anyway. The contents of WP:ACADEMIC offer a thumbnail presumption of notability, not actual evidence of it, and if we look and we don't find evidence of notability, even for a subject that seems to meet an SSG, then the presumption is that the subject is not notable and therefore does not warrant an article, yes?
