Another editor alerted me to this article's re-creation. It has previously been re-created several times at October 6 University for copyvio, where it was eventually salted. This is a new version of the article and while it doesn't have any copyvio, it doesn't really show how this university passes notability guidelines. It asserts notability by way of awards, but I can't really find any actual coverage for the university as a whole. I did find this book mention, but by large there seems to be a lack of coverage overall. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:34, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Tough one. Clearly a private medical-focused institution in Egypt. Has faculty members indicating the school as their primary affiliation in journal articles in pharmacy [1], mathematics [2], zoology [3], periodontology [4], and cardiology [5]. Consequently, I think it is a verifiable institution. Whether it meets WP:ORG is the question, but my personal take is that any school with a medical faculty and teaching hospital is inherently notable -- Samir 06:51, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, we routinely keep articles about accredited, degree awarding educational institutions, unless a hoax is involved. If an Arabic speaker makes a convincing case that this is unaccredited, or a diploma mill, or a hoax, then I will support deletion. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:17, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I thought that the schools would still have to have had coverage in RS? I'm more familiar with the process for public high schools, where the schools would still have to have received coverage in RS somewhere. It's different for colleges? That doesn't seem particularly fair for the public schools... Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:34, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm willing to withdraw this if that's the case- I'm just used to seeing existing schools and colleges deleted for lack of RS. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:46, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the biggest problem now -- if there is no longer a copyvio (some copyvio at least remains; cf. it to http://o6u.edu.eg/dpages.aspx?FactId=38&id=821), as in the last three iterations of it this week -- is it's failure to meet wp:v. If that failure isn't addressed by the addition of appropriate RS refs, I think it should be stubbed.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:51, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Accredited degree-awarding tertiary institution, kept by long-standing precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:58, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
