Fails WP:NSCHOOL. Parts of it are a copyright infringement of the school's website. It's essentially a non-notable trade school. Bbb23 (talk) 23:30, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Title could have been fixed first. Copvio not grounds for deletion. Usual practice to keep such institutions. AusLondonder (talk) 02:13, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "such institutions", and since when does practice trump notability guidelines? Are you saying that somewhere it says that trade schools are inherently notable?--Bbb23 (talk) 04:14, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Softdelete or move to Draft: with the condition that if it is deleted, it be un-deleted to Draft: space and not allowed back into the main encyclopedia without at least a few independent, reliable-source references. It's lack of references make it impossible to tell if it is a degree-granting institution or that it otherwise meets WP:ORG. On the other hand, as a multi-location career training institution there's some chance that it does. Or improve the article now before someone closes this discussion (I'm too tired to improve it today, sigh). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 03:14, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Hindu? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AusLondonder (talk • contribs) 07:59, 19 October 2015

Maybe it's just a different writing style, but if those articles appeared as-written in an American newspaper my gut would be screaming "warmed over press release" or "content provided by the school and put in the paper as a courtesy" (I've seen these "unlabeled, not-paid-for-so-technically-not-an-ad" spots in local TV news programs a lot in America the last 10-20 years, not so much in newspapers though). I don't have faith that these 3 articles are the editorial content of an independent source, particularly the two that have the phrase "an autonomous institution established by the State government" in the first sentence. To be fair, I DID do a "Google search" on a phrase in one of these sources looking for a hit on the school's web site and found none, so it's possible I'm just mistaking The Hindu's writing style with what in America would be the style of a warmed-over press release. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:58, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the references from The Hindu were added to the page at 03:27, 17 October 2015. Those comments made before this time reflect an earlier version of the article. Comments made within 1-2 hours of this time may be based on the commenting editor's reading of an earlier version of this article that did not include those references. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:08, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Is this an accredited degree awarding institution? I'm not sure if certifications count either. I get the impression that this isn't a degree awarding institution, but I figured I'd ask. In any case, I am finding some mention of the school under its full name in places like this. This source isn't really the type that would show notability, but it does give off the impression that there may be more coverage somewhere. I'll keep digging.

WP:SOFTDELETE as it hardly or does not meet the organizational notability guidelines, there are no sources (in the article an from my own short search) stating it's an accredited degree awarding institution, not even on their website (this could just be the poor grammar and design of the website). Although, I was able to find the institution in four different newspapers (see here) which give evidence that this actually exists and is recognized (at the least) locally. —Skyllfully ^(talk | _contribs) 04:02, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why would soft delete be acceptable here? Also, did you miss The Hindu? AusLondonder (talk) 07:56, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NORG. And yes, before someone asks if I saw the Hindu, I did. In fact, that article supports the deletion of the article, because it clearly shows that this is not an accredited institution, and therefore WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES does not apply.
