I also saw it during WP:BEFORE and didn't find it a reliable source. I don't mind if it is used in the article to support that two lines but it is not useful in anyway for establishing notability. Even if it was a reliable source, it hardly say anything about the subject as required by WP:ORG. -- SMS Talk 10:25, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

The sources you have added are not reliable at all. Per Notability criteria for Organizations, there should be:
  1. Multiple
  2. Independent
  3. Secondary
reliable sources, covering the subject significantly. I am unable to find any of these attributes in the sources you provided and also they discuss the subject trivially. -- SMS Talk 15:02, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per general notability guidelines. I can find no independent sources in LexisNexis treating the academy. There is one currently cited source, the Dardistan Times, that may be independent (I don't know), and another Dardistan Times article was linked in the earlier AfD. That doesn't seem sufficient to establish notability. The fact that both come from the same publication also does not inspire confidence. Cnilep (talk) 02:32, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
