This page is not notable and some of the sources are primary. They are not reliable sources and this specific university is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia page. I cannot find any articles from reliable sources like the New York Times. See WP:N Parmaparma (talk) 23:10, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you looking in the NYT for a Bahrain University? You should be looking in Bahraini newspapers. SpinningSpark 23:33, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What I meant was all news sources of similar credibility, including Bahraini newspapers. I could not find much for this university in those newspapers either.Parmaparma (talk) 23:57, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You really found nothing in Arabic? Not even "The University of Applied Sciences celebrates the publication of 100 scientific researches in one year" (trans)? SpinningSpark 15:55, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Appears to be an accredited university. Can't see any good reason for deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:26, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is an accredited Bahraini university, details of the university are extensively reported in the country's educational quality assurance authority amongst others. Additionally, the faculty/students have published in academia.Droodkin (talk) 14:06, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep but improve per WP:NSCHOOL. The nominator is right on all counts, however, as an accredited university it passes inherent notability. Chetsford (talk) 17:19, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: a degree-awarding institution of higher learning; a suitable stub at this point. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:02, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The university is accredited by the Bahraini Ministry of Education, it has over 2,400 students, and has several colleges. In my book, that's notable. Elspamo4 (talk) 04:45, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I can't read any of it, but the arabic term "جامعة العلوم التطبيقية" gets a lot of hits for arabic books and news sites. Accredited degree awarding universities are a prima facie keep and there is precious little evidence that this one will not meet GNG with a bit of digging.
