[edit] University of Sagar

This page is an advertisement for the university and a hagiography of its founder. Prod contested without explanation. Kimchi.sg 12:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - universities are notable. I removed the vanity section about the founder. Someone needs to explain NPOV to User:Jsx1200. BigDT 13:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, expand, cleanup. --Starionwolf 18:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep Obviously a case for cleanup rather than deletion. Dlyons493 Talk 19:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Flowery language not a problem, but the university webpage??!?!? What about WP:RS? ~ trialsanderrors 19:43, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: You have a good point trialsanderrors. The article needs some more reliable sources.

Comment Accredited by NAAC. See [1]. And yes, it's hard to see how the National Informatics Centre, Madhya Pradesh Ministry of Information Technology, Govt.of India could design and host a site like that! Dlyons493 Talk 20:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure that's not self-reported? There is a scan on the Uni webpage that makes me very suspicious. Plus what about the sagaruniversity.nic.in domain? Is that standard? If I go to the nic.in portal and search for sagar I get a lot of links but no U of Sagar. ~ trialsanderrors 22:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

It's mentioned on Britannica which is reliable. "The city also has an industrial school and a school of horsemanship and is the seat of the Doctor Hari Singh Gour University (1946) and several affiliated colleges." Dlyons493 Talk 06:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Universities are always notable. ImpuMozhi 04:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Its an actual university. The article only needs to be improved, not deleted -- Lost 06:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy close, copyvio, will be deleted on CP anyway. --Rory096 23:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment Speedy keep - I'll be rewriting it now that copyvio has been pointed out. Dlyons493 Talk 23:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete, but copy content even if you rewrite it, the copy vio version is still available. copy the current version (if not copy vio) and put it in a brand new article under the same name. American Patriot 1776 02:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
