List of colleges in Ratnagiri[edit]

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

It's a "list of colleges" in a specific city in India. However, only one of the three colleges on this list has an article. This list does not seem appropriate as a stand-alone list. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 05:08, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Education in Ratnagiri. We don't need a list of colleges in a city, categories are fine for that, but an education in city article would be fine. Might as well start it with this. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:11, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Article serves absolutely no purpose at all. Redirect to Ratnagiri if necessary. Ajf773 (talk) 06:22, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - doubtful that anyone searching would be searching for this term. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:11, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE, this does not meet the criteria for lists. StudiesWorld (talk) 12:32, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have put in many efforts in cleaning out List of education institutes in XYZ, be it schools, high schools, colleges, universities from a town, city, district or state of India and unfortunately have not come up with any fixed suits-all system. But I am fine with Education in Ratnagiri district, similar to what @Piotrus: suggests. The Category:Ratnagiri district does have some educational institutes which could be mentioned in prose format than just useless list of blue-links. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:36, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:LISTN, WP:GNG etc. It is also not a plausible search term so no need for a redirect. Spiderone 19:21, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
