The result was speedy delete. This is an IAR close, it's a combination fo G11 and G12 as the only remaining content on the page is copied over from University of Madras, with nothing at all pertaining to this place. —SpacemanSpiff 11:34, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Universal Tamil University[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No claim in article of meeting notability, google search not turning up notability. However, sources for this school are likely not in English which hampers my efforts to improve this article, so I'm asking for others to weigh in. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 03:46, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since the sources are,as you say,probably in Tamil, there';s no way to do a proper BFORE search withotu knowing the languages. We do however need to find some verification. As a university, it would normally be kept just as 99% of all universities have been, but only if we can do that. WP:N is subject to arguments; WP:V is absolutely required.

Delete. I would have deleted this as G11 (and I'm still inclined to do it) as we are providing brochure content that isn't even on their website. This is likely a corner shop that does coaching for college admissions but has decided to call itself a university. It wasn't in the list of deemed universities published by the UGC a few months ago. Their main campus is a store front on a road that is 20ft wide! A university and they can't afford a landline! This is just peddling of dubious services using Wikipedia. —SpacemanSpiff 11:05, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
