The always-unsourced article was created in January 2008‎, and says that classes will commence from August 2008. However, 13 years later I can't find any mention of this college other than in en.wp and its mirrors. I am not an expert in searching Indian topics, and maybe someone else can find something I missed ... but from what I see so far, this seems to me to be either a hoax or an unfulfilled ministerial promise.

Delete we do not even have evidence this place exists, or even that it ever was planned outside the mind of whoever the Wikipedia editor who created the page was. We really need to go to requiring all articles to have at least one source. The fact that articles have existed for 13 years with no sources at all is just plain unacceptable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:40, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm not finding anything either, which leads me to conclude that the college was never built, at least under that name. At the very least, it easily fails the GNG. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 16:42, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with nominator and previous comment - school appears to have never existed. Redoryxx (talk) 18:11, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This may have become VKR VNB & AGK Engineering College, affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada and apparently established in 2008. AllyD (talk) 19:14, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete After doing some research I agree with AllyD that it is probably connected to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada. That said, I could not find any evidence as to how. It could be the former name, a satellite campus, or even a department of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University. That said, given the lack of information as to what exactly it is and the fact that nothing in the article is sourced (or probably ever will be), I think deleting it is the best way to go. Otherwise, I suggest a redirect if someone can figure out exactly how they are connected or can find a reference for what little information is currently in the article. I don't think one is needed at this point though. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:16, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails GNG and all the above. Per the above, there isn't even a proper redirect target. --Muhandes (talk) 20:05, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Neither under the title name of this article nor under the likely actual name of the affiliate college have I found the coverage needed to demonstrate attained notability. AllyD (talk) 16:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
