No significant presence more than a university's sub institute. Not even single reliable reference but external links, and homepage even nothing showing anything. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 04:32, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While there isn't much independent media coverage, there is significant coverage in academic literature including numerous citations. See the following:

The last article has over 179 citations and is one of many of their published articles with multiple citations. The article does appear to need cleanup in line with WP:NPOV, however. Chagropango (talk) 06:23, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep I'm of the opinion that major institutes at notable universities are nearly always prima facie notable on their own, but the lack of outside sourcing is troubling. I'm going to assume there's more available in Arabic or Punjabi and this is a function of our blindness to non-english sources, but if a native speaker trawls the archives for a while and comes up empty I'm happy to re-evaluate with the knowledge that my assumptions were false. --WhoIs 127.0.0.1 ping/loopback 13:51, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP Of course major institutes at notable universities are notable on their own. Islamic Research Institute is part of International Islamic University, Islamabad which is a 'Recognized University and Degree Awarding Institution in Pakistan' - duly recognized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan, the highest education authority in Pakistan (added this reference today). In addition, Al-Sharia Academy website reference is also independent media coverage of this institute. Ngrewal1 (talk) 17:11, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
