Only one source, titled IUB hosts 8th Bangladesh Physics Olympiad 2018, and nothing else. A quick google search found nothing. The article is unverifiable and reads like a resume. It is oddly promotional and would fit nicely into LinkedIn Vinegarymass911 (talk) 08:24, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~keep~~ changed to delete per WP:NPROF#6, he is the vice chancellor of International University of Business Agriculture and Technology (over 10k students) and thus the highest level administrative post at a major university. Seems like a pretty clear cut case and a lack of WP:BEFORE. --hroest 19:20, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I changed my !vote due to the fact that the institution appears much less important than initially claimed (I got the 10k from its Wikipedia article which seems to have been wrong). --hroest 14:49, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~, per NPROF C6. JoelleJay (talk) 00:13, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per discussion on what constitutes a "major academic institution". JoelleJay (talk) 20:56, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Further, I'm not convinced that the International University of Business Agriculture and Technology is a "major academic institution". Student population is not what makes a school major. Publications, standing and accomplishments as a research institution internationally, etc. is what matters. From the article itself there is nothing there that seems all that impressive about the school. Therefore, fails WP:NPROF#6.4meter4 (talk) 04:41, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:PROF #6 uses the phrase "major academic institution" because the community hasn't been able to agree on a brighter line. The number of students (which according to IUBAT's about page is 6500, not "over 10k") does not demarcate "major". Nor is "major" suggested by their annual research budget of $235,000 or the fact that the highest degree they confer is an MBA. Eastern University, where Rab was VC earlier, doesn't exhibit characteristics of a major academic institution either. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:24, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is no sign that this is a major academic institution, so significant coverage would be required. Reywas92^Talk 19:42, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
