Faizabad Medical College[edit]

Does this college actually exist? This appears to be a possible hoax. I can find no evidence for a medical college in Faizabad that corresponds with the one as written in this article. The apparent formal name is Government Medical College & Super Facility Hospital, Faizabad, but there is no such facility. The one working reference in the article appears to be a deliberate misrepresentation. The title of the news article purports to be "UP to have new medical college in Faizabad", but if one actually goes to the OneIndia article, one finds that the article is actually "UP to have new medical college in Azamgarh". According to Google maps, the Azamgarh and Faizabad are 140 km apart. Ther are two official websites listed. The one in the infobox does not resolve. The one in the external links is to GMC, the motor car company. Note that much of this article appears to have been taken from Government Medical College and Super Facility Hospital, Azamgarh.

Delete I confirmed the absence of a primary website in the article, one that could be used to confirm the name. I also tried searching for the Hindu name on Google and Google images. I sorta doubt that this is a hoax, but I don't know what else it is. Unscintillating (talk) 17:59, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Unscintillating:: You might sorta doubt this is a hoax, but this isn't the only article from this editor that seems to have been just invented out of thin air. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/9X Odia for another example. -- Whpq (talk) 15:19, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
