does not meet WP:GNG Domdeparis (talk) 14:17, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete: Isn't this just some sort of a Muslim-run diploma mill? It may however, barely satisfy WP:GNG for other reasons than for academic importance. Ceosad (talk) 22:53, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Delete:Is there some valid reason why a college is not notable? A quick Google search has found mention of it here in a Breitbart article.^[1] It's also mentioned in this Telegraph article^[2]. Also mentioned on the BBC.^[3] So, what was the reason this was flagged?16:14, 23 November 2016 (UTC)NicholasJB (talk)

Delete based on failing WP:GNG. The mentioned sources give nothing but passing mentions (and Breitbart is not exactly the most reliable/neutral of sources); nothing substantial to develop it beyond a permastub. But of course the dreaded WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES essay will be brought up, which for some obscure reason overrides the General Notability Guideline. --HyperGaruda (talk) 08:39, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there is an article about the college's founder, Mohammad Akram Nadwi. In time, the college may be notable, but in the less than two years since its founding it has seemingly only received passing and routine coverage. Smmurphy^(Talk) 20:04, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
