• I've gone 5 pages deep into Google and the only source I can find is this quite short story in The Hindu, which is not the significant coverage in multiple reliable sources required by WP:N. --Cybercobra (talk) 06:56, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Hello Cybercobra! Thanx for your message.

Can you explain exactly why you are interested in deleting this article (other than the less-than-meagre references)? As far as I can see, it is a well written article, requiring a lot of editing. I do know that references play a major role, but consider it again. I have no problems if the article gets deleted after an intensive debate.

Thanks.

Wikipedia has Notability criteria that articles are required to meet. I have searched for sources myself and the lack thereof suggests this topic is not notable. IMHO, keeping a non-notable article on a corporation serves as a vanity page / advertisement for the business, which is not what Wikipedia is for. If there are indeed good sources that I somehow missed (which is entirely possible since I don't speak Hindi), please add them to the article as they would invalidate the rationale for this AfD. --Cybercobra (talk) 09:15, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, note that it is possible the All India Mock CAT may be notable in its own right (and thus merit an article) even if TIME is not notable. --Cybercobra (talk) 09:28, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - the company is a premiere testing company in India. Of course most coverage is about the tests they administer / the results they produce, rather than the company itself, but in these case the two can't be separated - the company is its tests/test training. That said sources to establish notability include: *The Hindu story mentioned above
• this coverage was establishes that the company had 90 learning centers in 59 cities as of 2005 (they now have 186 in 92 cities)
• this The Hindu story
• This story is about a training exhibition they hosted
  • Different story about some exhibition
• Story about a quiz they sponsored
• Story about another quiz contest they hosted
• Add in the 100+ times they are quoted as a quizzing authority by Indian papers and it is pretty clear this is a notable company.

Additionally, there are presumably lots of non-English language sources as well. --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:51, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CommentI doubt that you will find any non-English sources, no matter how hard you try. Grad and post-Graduate education is in English in India(with the exception of MA courses in local languages)--Deepak D'Souza 17:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the reliable source coverage that ThaddeusB posted. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 15:18, 27 June 2009 (UTC)``[reply]
• Keep with revisions. Do they have 20,000 students? 120,000 students? 1,200,000 students? Inquiring minds want to know. Ezratrumpet (talk) 04:58, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete:Even if they are famous and boast of large enrollments,the fact is they are just a coaching institute and hence not admissible at wikipedia.Too insignificant.--Shashankgupta (talk) 18:31, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• "I don't like it" is not a valid reason to delete. Wikipedia doesn't have any policy to exclude coaching institutions or Nobel Prize winners either. Please provide policy reasons for deletion (and essays to illustrate points). -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 00:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Not notable in itself. Notability is linked to the premier entrance exams for which TIME conducts preparatory course. Not much encyclopedic value either. --Deepak D'Souza 17:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
