Weak Delete: as per nom. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NORG. But a second assessment can be made if this article is improved during the course of this AfD discussion. Suggested assessment guidelines: WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES and WP:HEY. -Hatchens (talk) 06:32, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it doesn't look like anyone has improved the article since it was nominated for deletion and I can't find anything to do improve it with. So as things currently are there isn't a guideline based reason to keep the article. Circular nonsense like "keep because we usually keep these" doesn't really cut it either. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:35, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- See WP:CONSENSUS. So no, not "nonsense". Consensus that these are kept. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:04, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Consensus to keep? Interesting! Can you prove that. See also: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islamic Azad University, Mahshahr Branch, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ellington University, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islamic Azad University, Mahshahr Branch, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cantonment College, Cumilla. All deleted. And Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Technological University of the Philippines – Taguig - redirected. I fail to see the consensus to keep no matter what.

Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSCHOOLS. Given sources are either listings, related or "we have a party"-type. A WP:BEFORE did not give any in-depth sources. The Banner talk 13:50, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A recognized University accredited degree granting program. JoyStick101 (talk) 05:18, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is a commercial university so right policy would be WP:NCORP. Laptopinmyhands (talk) 14:37, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure about that? I can't immediately provide a source for this but I thought that all private educational institutions in India had to be run on a non-profit basis in order to receive official accreditation. Have things changed recently? Phil Bridger (talk) 17:52, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: to see if non profit v. commercial can be ascertained. Would also suggest more policy-based !votes would help with consensus vs. WP:THISISHOWWEVEALWAYSDONEIT,

Delete About the non-profit nature, it's common knowledge that the law is followed only in letter and not at all in spirit. From a brief search, I think this - Such pursuance of profit is often masked by a two-tier legal structure by setting up a trust that runs the school, and a company that owns the assets (land, building, etc.) and provides services (management and technology), thus receiving payment in return from here summarises the practice well, which is further elaborated upon in this op-ed. This ET article from 2010 carries specific examples (note that the company it delves into, Career Point Infosystems, services two universities. One was deleted in a recent AfD, other remains for now). I don't know whether NCORP can be said to apply, but feel entirely comfortable voting delete since I'm unable to see anything passing WP:GNG.

Delete per Hemantha. TrangaBellam (talk) 19:08, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Fully agree with Hemantha Ji. All such private universities pretend to be non profit but charge big fee to students. Laptopinmyhands (talk) 01:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Charging a big fee to students does't necessarily mean that a university extracts a profit (look at, for example, many leading American universities). The owners of this particular university may do so, but that is something that should be sourced, not assumed. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:13, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
