Sherpur polytechnic institute

Can't find any references from WP:Reliable sources that this institute actually exists, and none are given in the article to support the claims of notability per WP:ORG. Unclear from the photo provided whether it's actually open yet. Proposed deletion contested by anonymous editor. Scopecreep (talk) 05:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The school exists, see [1], [2]. However, the content needs to be carefully checked, given the other contributions of the creator. I can't find an official website of the institute, which is quite strange (our article claims that the school is attended by 900,000 students). Their Facebook profile was created by the same person as the article here. I would say delete (for now), as the current state of the article is unreliable. But I'm willing to change my opinion if someone provides better and reliable evidence of notability. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 06:55, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Something is majorly wrong here. A top-level engineering school with 900,000!!!! students that doesn't even have its own website, and has next to no coverage in relaible independent sources, none of which can be considered remotely substantial???? ZERO hits on Google Scholar???? What little information that is available on Google can be mostly traced back to a single individual (Robin Hossain aka Robinsabbir), who is the person responsible for creating this WP artcle, as well. Dubious to the extreme. IF this school exists (and I cannot rule out that it is a hoax or fraud), it is certainly not what the article states that it is, to the point that it is essentially a hoax or fraud. Only God knows, because of the absolute dearth of information in independent sources. In any case, it is not a bona fide accredited institution of higher learning. Most likely a madrassa (Muslim religious school) posing as one. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 14:12, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The Daily Star would seem to be a reliable source, so if it says that an SPI student was kidnapped, we can assume that SPI exists. However, we'd need solid coverage of the institution, and we need to show much more than that it exists — the creator's obviously wrong statement of nearly a million students casts everything else in the article into doubt.
