Comment. Oh dear, prepare to be flooded by keep-!voters claiming notability just because it is an existing university. - HyperGaruda (talk) 04:29, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Note that according to its website it awards bachelors' degrees. If these are accredited by an official body then it should be kept per longstanding consensus and precedent that degree-awarding institutions are notable. We need some proof that they are, however. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:55, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a member of the Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World [1]. I haven't had the time to look if it's accredited by an organisation within India. Uanfala (talk) 17:40, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete as searches do not find much, although universities are normally kept, a few more RS's are needed on this one. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 22:17, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Uncertain at this moment because I would've suggested keeping if it's notable but if it's not an applicably notable university, delete especially considering the article's current tone. Asking DGG for schools analysis here. SwisterTwister talk 06:19, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. All universities should be considered notable. In the case of universities that are in some degree out of the Western academic tradition, accreditation can be a meaninglesscriterion. The difficulty of locating sources in the case of traditional nonWestern ones is a limitation of our resources,and any evidence of real existence should be accepted in order to avoid cultural bias. DGG ( talk ) 04:48, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with that case as I'm going with my initial thoughts of keeping as a notable university. SwisterTwister talk 05:26, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for failing WP:V as presented because of lacking reliable sources. The view that all universities are automatically notable is unsupported by policy and practice, if only because anybody can found something and call it an university. Sandstein 08:17, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Nothing in the article or in searches shows that it meets notability criteria. Nothing to show it's accredited. Current version would qualify for deletion as a purely promotional piece. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:01, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I know that articles on universities are generally kept, but this one has received coverage in very few reliable sources and fails GNG. Omni Flames ^{let's talk about it} 11:09, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
