IIT Study Circle

Article details an educational corporation which clearly has limited web presence but does not appear to be the subject of reliable secondary source coverage (WP:ORG). Unlikely that there will be enough notable source material to rewrite the article in an encyclopaedic, non-promotional tone. haz (talk) 13:18, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Week keep~~ The current article reads like a promotional handout, but there seems to be just enough media coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. However the available information seem to be limited and the organization doesn't seem to have any strong claims of notability (like winning awards etc.) and the coverage is borderline trivial... hence the weak keep.

Delete Promotional advertisement. The term IIT Study Circle is not specific to just one institute. There are 2-3 IT study circles run by different persons.The link provided by Abecadare prvides two different IIT Study cirles: one by New Horizons and another by Rammaiah. --Deepak D'Souza 12:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Having given it some more thought, I think the article fails the notability requirements because: (1) judged as an organization it has not received significant coverage, nor is it a large, publicly traded, or award winning company; (2) judged as an educational institution, it is just a coaching class for IIT entrance examination and has no accreditation, or degree/diploma/vocational certificate granting ability; so even if we accept the (past?) AFD norm that secondary/tertiary educational institutions are inherently notable, the subject does not qualify. Abecedare (talk) 08:48, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
