Fictional entity mentioned in at least three seemingly unrelated works of fiction, mostly unreferenced, so it's really a mix of OR and FANCRUFT. I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. " PROD was challenged (with no helpful edit summary), so here we go. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:07, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Coverage of this college on other sites is really good thus fate of this page is unimportant. People will find the information regardless of this discussion's end. GorgonaJS (talk) 07:47, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What "other sites"? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:44, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The works this fictional college appeared in are actually related somewhat - it was created by Douglas Adams for an incomplete Dr. Who serial he wrote, and then later reused for one of his books. However, that doesn't actually make it notable. Its mentioned briefly in plot summaries of both the Dr. Who serial and the book, but I'm not finding anything actually in-depth about it beyond that in reliable sources.

Delete - One Doctor Who story (never broadcast due to not being finished, although "completed" versions have been released in various media) and one Dirk Gently novel are partly set there, but in neither of these works by Adams do you find out much about the College or its staff/students beyond a few characters, so there is not enough notability or context for an article in my view - it can easily be covered in appropriate detail at List of fictional Cambridge colleges and the Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and Shada articles.
