This page clearly warrants a second nomination.

First, there are no references cited in the page. Second, no notability exists with the page and no reliable-independent sources have been cited that show it meets criteria for WP:GNG or WP:ORG; Wiki is not an indiscriminate collection of information. And third, there is no indication it meets criteria for WP:UNIN and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. A quick online search leads to the details that it is a department of Kanpur University and not itself a college or university; the word 'university' is sometimes added in the name of schools to mislead even though it is not. So the de facto rule does not apply. This page qualifies for speedy deletion. Multi7001 (talk) 15:34, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let's sift through this. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is an essay about AfD outcomes pertaining to high schools and notability. A quick search on Google led me to find Kanpur University changed its name to Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University. This is sounding like an engineering college or another university within a bigger university. Found what looks to be the facility website. [1] I would be more for ~~redirect~~ to Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University if notability can't be demonstrated for a stand-alone article. – The Grid (talk) 01:45, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Grid, if it is regarded as a college or university there needs to be reliable, independent sources to validate that. There is none in the article. Notability is not inherited, so because it may be part of a bigger educational body, that does not mean it should be of inclusion in the encyclopedia. If there are references cited confirming that it is a college or university independent from the subject, then it may warrant a redirect, otherwise, a deletion is necessary.

A redirect has nothing to do about inherited notability, it's an alternative to deletion. Upon looking over WP:RPURPOSE, I meant to state merge to Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University. – The Grid (talk) 00:12, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect is a form of endorsement and inclusion within the encyclopedia. The point is that there is no indication that establishes notability, and as such, it should not be included at all in the encyclopedia. Since there are no references, and it may possibly qualify for speedy deletion, it would require it to be wiped out from the articlespace. Without any reliable sources, there is no way of validating the true nature of the subject (e.g., if it is a legitimate entity or not; no .edu domain extension is used, posing a possible security risk). Wiki is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Moreover, a merge must be approved based on consensus from other users first, given the nature of the deletion.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge selectively into Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University, the publicly funded state university of which it is a part. We do not have separate articles for components of universities unless there are sources to support independent notability. The list of departments should be removed and left to the university website. StarryGrandma (talk) 23:49, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
