The result was no consensus. Unclear why a merger with some movie was suggested, as this does seem to be a non-fictional school. Sandstein 08:24, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Normally, I would not nominate this for deletion since it is a school, but sadly I was not able to find enough reliable sources to establish its notability. My respect for Indian schools is alright after I watched 3 Idiots but I still believe that this school just isn't notable enough. Yes it is a college, which normally is notable, but I could not find sources about this particular college. Its founder apparently had founded many other schools, all of which also seem to be non-notable. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:36, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - We keep tertiary instituions for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on Indian colleges because, unlike US colleges, they don't dump everything on the Internet. Indeed, very few have much of an Internet presence at all. We must avoid systemic bias and allow time for local sources to be researched since no evidence has been adduced that this polytechnic cannot meet notability requirements.

Sadly for this particular college, I only found one non-Wikipedia hit on Google, and surprise, it is a Facebook page. I would also like to point out a quote I found on the article guidelines about schools. (Yes it is not a policy, but nevertheless it should [usually] be followed).

It is recommended that editors only create a school article when its content shows that it already passes the notability guideline by displaying significant coverage in reliable sources.

I did find more hits with "AANM&VVRSR", but sadly they were not reliable sources. I do hope someone finds sources though. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:45, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep Colleges are normally considered inherently notable, like secondary schools and universities. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:21, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. As suggested by User:Narutolovehinata5, the article about the fictional college can be merged in with the article about the movie 3 Idiots. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Satanclawz (talk • contribs) 14:53, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
