Promotional title created by a user banned for abusing multiple accounts.  SAMI  talk 02:20, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Two very similar nominations merged Thryduulf (talk) 10:27, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete' as misleading. There are various articles about top universities based on different ranking systems, so it's plausible that someone would look for this title. However, per template:University ranking systems, we do not have anything that is specific to Pakistan. The current target is organised geographically and does not mention any ranking at all. Thryduulf (talk) 10:27, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete per WP:G11 (unambiguous advertising) - we don't evaluate "top" anything. The creator is definitely indef'd but it seems to be a WP:NOTHERE block, which was enabled after these pages were created and doesn't seem related to abusing multiple accounts, otherwise WP:EVADE would apply.

    • I don't see this as speedy deletable at all. We don't rank universities, but other people do, and so it is entirely plausible that there is some (potentially) notable list of top universities in Pakistan by some defined criteria. If we had an article about that ranking to point it to then it would be a good redirect. If there were mutliple such lists then this would likely be a dab between them. If this were pointed at a single university, or group of universities, then it would more likely be advertising (unless the target was about the verifiably top university/universities by some measure). However, the target lists all universities in Pakistan, and I don't think saying "every university in Pakistan is one of the top universities in Pakistan" gets anywhere near a G11 (that it's misleading and useless is a different point, and not speedy deletable).

  • Well, leisurely delete per your own rationale then. It's misleading to point a "top" list of things to a list with every one of those things. Ivanvector (talk) 16:10, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete a bit promotional for my tastes.--Lenticel (talk) 02:34, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. That's a bit WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I'm inclined to agree with you but will try to find better reasons. Lenti, you know you have font styles in your sig? Am I the only one still on plaintext? Si Trew (talk) 03:46, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
