While the university (BHU) clearly meets WP:GNG, there's nothing to state this list does. The list contains a number of Festivals celebrated across the country (making their inclusion here irrelevant), or multiple college hosted events that are almost all non-notable themselves.

Strong Keep: The list has been created to avoid cluttering and already exceeding WP:SIZERULE in the parent page, the list primarily aims at including cultural festivals (See: [1] [2] )of different colleges, etc. However, major celeberation of prominent national/local festivals is added for general information on the concerned subject, and backed by WP:RS. All inclusions are backed by WP:RS, and the list is based on Purposes of lists. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 12:02, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the list primarily aims at including cultural festivals (See: [3] [4] )of different colleges, etc.

That's basically my main contention. The primary purpose of the list is to note down well sourced but still likely non-notable events. Comparing to the two linked articles you mentioned, they both (now) have "Should be notable enough to have a wikipedia page" as their requirements. WP:RS is absolutely necessary to add any content to articles, it just isn't necessarily sufficient. In this case, I am not yet convinced based on WP:LISTPURP a list consisting inherently of non-notable events should be separate.

A (more experienced) second set of eyes on the matter would help Soni (talk) 02:23, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Banaras Hindu University#Student life. Some of the content can appear here, ideally in prose form. There's no need for a separate article on the matter. Ajf773 (talk) 10:07, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 13:18, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Ajf773. A WP:SIZESPLIT is not necessary here as the parent article has a readable prose of only 33kb, well within reasonable limits. If the parent article is too cluttered, the answer is to delete the excessive images and galleries. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:55, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
