Could not find any independent reliable sources giving enough sigcov to this institution. This [1] is the only one giving atleast any incidential coverage to the subject. But thats not suffucient.The college website is used as the remaining sources which cannot be considered to establish notability. We need independent sources. The subject fails GNG.

delete - Not Notable and there is a lack of more reliable sources, it may be difficult to verify this article. Mandsaur College seems remarkable but this college is not remarkable. Dam222 🌋 (talk) 10:32, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not so poor article according to WP policies. It have source from this college's website , Lokmat newspaper. Research Voltas (talk) 10:59, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- This is only "not so poor" because the bar for educational instutions is so low, that we have a huge number of articles on ones with 0 sources and I am unconvinced a majority of them even have a source outside the subjects own website.

Delete this article is no where near passing GNG. The fact that that is true of a huge number of other articles is reason to delete them not keep this one.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:09, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article was reviewed by Umakant Bhalerao. They claim to have a professional knowledge of Hindi and a passable knowledge of Marathi, so it might therefore be prudent to have them weigh in on this. There are two other Lokmat articles covering this source, which can be found here and here. There are stories about it on YouTube published by EBM News, and while this seems to be a legitimate news source, 1) I can't say for sure, and 2) it's ostensibly incidental coverage like this. The college's Marathi name is 'नाहाटा महाविद्यालय'. I don't reasonably see any coverage being found that would turn this discussion around, but stranger things have happened.

- TheTechnician27, i marked this article as patrolled after it was tagged for deletion by Kichu. As per NPPAFD, Unlike CSDs and PRODs, you can mark AfDed pages as 'reviewed' after tagging them. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 08:19, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The Marathi reference talks about an inauguration and a conference and is not a reflection of notability of the institution. Neither is WP:GNG satisfied nor is WP:SCHOOLS. Vikram Vincent 17:59, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Having not enough data doesn't mean you should delete it. It is still important (somewhat) and if they have internet then they could see it and might want it to be kept. Unlikely but plausible. DXLB Muzikant (talk) 19:02, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- DXLB Muzikant Please do have a look at WP:ORG and WP:NSCHOOL. That would form the basis for this AFD nomination. Vikram Vincent 15:31, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge, it fails WP:SCHOOLS/WP:SUL and lacks WP:N, while keeping in mind most content written about it is in Marathi Language and may suffer from WP:BIAS, but I am not seeing enough info right now. I could imagine merging it into North Maharashtra University, which is definitely a notable topic, but also could benefit from some more eyes. Shushugah (talk) 22:40, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. was created by a sock so should be deleted per WP:BMB anyway. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 23:27, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Thanks for the ping TheTechnician27, While i agree with the nom that sources do not offer significant coverage, i'd say add a template for better sourcing rather than deleting because there is some sort of notability to this. NAAC has accredited the collage with 'A' Grade with a CGPA of 3.28[3]. It was also granted 'Autonomy Status' by the UGC[4] which is given only to prestigious colleges.[5] All these add up to notability. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 19:58, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- That said, that is just my opinion, and anyone can feel free to disagree. Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 20:01, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Autonomy status is being given as the govt. is reducing/cutting-off funding and they want the institutions to be self-funding. The claim of "prestigious" would have been valid for the first batch of institutions which got their autonomy in 2007-2008 but not now. This is just another tertiary education institution without WP:SIGCOV. Vikram Vincent 05:23, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per nom and Vikram Vincent, lacks non trivial coverage in independent, reliable sources.--Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 11:20, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
