The result was delete. One "keep" was struck and the other is very weakly argued. Sandstein 21:32, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet any of the criteria set forth in WP:GNG, has been created by an account with WP:COI and should therefore be removed from wikipedia. Elektricity (talk) 03:37, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment [was "Keep", explain below]. It is a secondary school or college/university. By longstanding practice, we keep such as long as their existence is not disputed, which it is not. --Doncram (talk) 06:20, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• That's not really the case any more, Doncram. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Sheffield Private School, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Quaid School, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ace School System (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muslim Shaheen School System (2nd nomination), which are all exceptions to "longstanding practice". Cordless Larry (talk) 20:02, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are many counter-counter-examples of recent AFDs where the longstanding practice is upheld. There was an RFC which was all messed up. --Doncram (talk) 20:45, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. That precedent is no more valid. Every private institute at least has to pass either WP:GNG or WP:NCORP because they are for-profit. No coverage found, fails WP:GNG. Störm (talk) 12:23, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This college/university is imparting educational services since 1999 for the masses of Balochistan in the region .... the page provides basic and general information. --Beds16 (talk) 19:30, 1 january 2018 (UTC) — Beds16 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• According to this source, the subject is a "private virtual campus", which acts as a resource centre, rather than a university. Hmm. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:33, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cordless Larry:They are affiliate of virtual university in Pakistan named Virtual University of Pakistan. You can check their website. Störm (talk) 05:52, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as failing WP:GNG, which is perhaps not surprising given that the subject is not a university but a private resource centre. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:36, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The institution is indeed an higher education school/college and an affiliated study center of University of Balochistan, Virtual University of Pakistan and Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Pakistan. -- for-example see the website link — UWL2013 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Comment above struck - UWL2013 is a confirmed sock of Beds16. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:29, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I struck my "Keep" vote above on basis that indeed it is identified as a "resource center" rather than a secondary school offering secondary degrees. Also the sockpuppeting is annoying, making the article's creation and defense seem likely to be a case of paid commercial promotional editing. --Doncram (talk) 20:45, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
