[edit] Vinodini Tarway

Incorrectly created vote page. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR VFD!

Delete - perhaps not encyclopaedic. Article was created, when I was very new to wikipedai.--Bhadani 05:41, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• In its current form it's unencyclopaedic, but I think it could be improved if given context. A female vice chancellor at an Indian university might be notable enough to merit inclusion; I know absolutely nothing about Indian gender politics or higher education (whether or not this is a significant university) and therefore don't feel I can vote, but I ask for input from anyone who does know.

• Keep, assuming "She shall always remain a fountain of inspiration to all Mahuri Vaisya folks" is true. Kappa 17:13, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The fountain of inspiration part is probably overblown, and being a female university administrator per se (in the country of Indira Gandhi) probably doesn't do it, but there's a good chance Vice Chancellor is an important position. I know in other countries the Vice Chancellor is commonly also the university's President and chief executive officer while the Chancellor is a titular head. Verifiability is iffy as the only hit for +vinodini +tarway is a Wikipedia mirror, but I see no reason not to Wikipedia:Assume good faith. (Not least since the creator is modestly voting delete!)

  • • My comments - In India Vice Chancellor is the highest authority of an University and a Vice Chancellor reports directly to the Governor of an Indian state. Governor acts as Chancellor for all the Universities located within a state. As regards the verifiability of the facts, a call to the present Vice Chancellor of that University would be sufficient. I donot know his name or tele number. There will be hundreds of documentary evidences to prove that there was a Vinodini Tarway who became a Vice Chancellor. Actually, I can expand the article with a lot of inputs. Anyway ... life is like that ... By the way, she was also the first woman vice chancellor of any University in Bihar, very few among Indian women vice chancellors, postgraduate with a PhD etc. etc.--Bhadani 16:15, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Thank you for filling us in! And please do expand. Samaritan 18:02, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
        • I also thank you for your insight. I myself searched hard on several search engines, could not get her name, except some info on Vinobha Bhave University and the present Vice Chancellor's name, etc. with a remarks: list of former vice chancellors will be updated or something like that, tele-no of the university was there, may be old, I am not sure, as during last one/two years several telephone numbers have changed. But, if one is really interested, one can surely get the correct telephone number. I have updated certain information. I would like to make only one observation - in Indian states of Jharkhand and Bihar, several governement and private records are yet to be digitalized and placed on internet, so searching several things may yield poor result or no result. --Bhadani 02:22, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Please see my all earlier remarks and comments, and then: Now, though I have created this article and even recommended deletion, I am having second thoughts after adding fresh inputs to the article. So, I am voting for Keep. In case, wikipedia does not allow such a voting, my vote may please be discounted while deciding this issue. As I have myself initiated for VfD process, I am not withdrawing my nomination for VfD--Bhadani 02:36, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. not notable, obscure and, on top of that, an orphan page. --Mecanismo 21:46, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
