The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. While by pure nose counting the keeps and deletes are equal, the delete arguments argue a lack of sufficient reference material to sustain this article, and the keep arguments do little to refute this assertion. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:38, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Accredited degree-awarding tertiary institution. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:13, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hi Necrothesp! I noticed that you copy-pasted the same message on multiple AfDs. Can you please point out the data related to the "degree-awarding" aspect of this and other institutions you have responded to. Thanks! Vikram Vincent 15:27, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's because the same point is relevant to all of them! Consensus has always been that we keep degree-awarding tertiary institutions, as outlined in WP:Schooloutcomes. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:30, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Necrothesp So these are not degree awarding institutions as it clearly says. Rather they are affiliated to some university which awards the degrees. Would that also be covered under school outcomes? Vikram Vincent 16:02, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • Yes. By "degree-awarding institution" we mean any college that teaches to degree level, not specifically only those that award their own degrees (this would, for instance, rule out British polytechnics, which did not award their own degrees). This has always been the case. Affiliated colleges still meet the criteria. This status is, of course, particularly common for colleges in India, and many of them have been kept on this basis. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:10, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • Can you please link that guidelines which equates "degree-awarding" to "teaching at degree level". In India, we actually have private institutions which *do* award degrees and these are called private deemed universities. This and other AFDs you have been !voting on do not come under that category. Vikram Vincent 16:14, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
              • As I have said, this is consensus and has been applied many times. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:50, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The typical outcomes from previous discussions about average articles on this subject are not binding on this one and may not be relevant to this particular article. Please consider adding your opinion about whether this specific subject meets any relevant notability guideline.

You seem to be suggesting that consensus is irrelevant! Not sure where you got that one from. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:52, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I used the {{outcomes}} tag. This is a private institution with no inherent notability. Vikram Vincent 14:01, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure where you get that from. We have never treated private colleges any differently from public ones. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:42, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Necrothesp From here, I found this, Consensus is not immutable. It is reasonable, and sometimes necessary, for both individual editors and particularly the community as a whole to change its mind. Long-held consensus cannot be used as an excuse against a change that follows Wikipedia's policies. Here, there are clear guidelines for notability of an organisation and I think any institution will have to show notability. You stating that your "keep" vote is based on past consensus is contrary. I would urge you to reconsider all your !votes if consensus is your only argument. Best! Vikram Vincent 18:53, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My opinion stands. I've participated in hundreds of these discussions and I've seen the clear consensus to keep degree-awarding tertiary institutions. You're not going to change my mind by continually quoting ever more irrelevant bits of Wikipedia at me. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:03, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Degree awarded institute which is affiliated with a recognised university Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University. This is no worse than the many hundred similar articles on colleges in India and elsewhere ( I know this is a very weak argument---what we ought to do is deal with the other similar articles also, but I see no point in singling this one out).

  • Delete total rubbish level sources. It is time we start requiring all articles on educational institutions to meet our notability guidelines for organizations.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:10, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Like John Pack Lambert says the level of sourcing for this college is totally bad and the guidelines about private colleges (which were built on consensus BTW) are clear that should be treated no differently then any other organization when it comes to notability. So, there's nothing about this that warrants it being kept from either a guideline or consensus based (as if they aren't the same thing anyway) position. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:17, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MBisanz talk 18:09, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty simple really, other stuff exists isn't a valid AfD argument. Period. Also, by continuing to go off about it your bludgeoning. Especially with the wall of links. --Adamant1 (talk) 12:04, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Poorly nominated article. The article definitely needs clean up to sound less promotional. A better WP:BEFORE was expected. sources like [1], [2] exist. Chiro725 (talk) 23:41, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The sources you have provided are extremely trivial and otherwise do nothing for the colleges notability. Especially the second one. Which is a dead link and appears to be primary anyway. In no way does a dead, primary source help for anything. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:12, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
From the first link, "Annual literary and cultural fest “Udghosh 2018” at ITS Engineering College " is based on a press release and cannot be used for notability. Vikram Vincent 08:19, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Chiro725 I'll be happy to withdraw my nomination if you can show WP:THREE sources that satisfy WP:SIGCOV. Best! Vikram Vincent 08:22, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
