Keep It's not a secondary madrassah but a university (with ~~200~~400 graduate students according to its website). Also a member of the Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World [1]. Uanfala (talk) 00:56, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Even if it's not approved by the "University Grants Commission" it still seems notable. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 10:15, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ A madrassah masquerading as a university cannot meet Wikipedia standards. Prof TPMS (talk) 14:30, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could you demonstrate that? Thanks. Uanfala (talk) 15:21, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By standard the nominator automatically votes delete so you don't need to add it. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 16:48, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - legitimate university and by long consensus we keep tertiary educational institutions. No reason to think it cannot meet WP:ORG. Just Chilling (talk) 00:39, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. AusLondonder (talk) 18:50, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If by "secondary" you mean a kind of Secondary school, i.e. "high school," it would still be a default keep under WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, so I believe there's a problem with the deletion rationale. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Appears to be a degree-awarding university, which we keep by longstanding precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:24, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
