I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. ". It was deprodded by User:Atlantic306 with a comment "a valid split from the main article or suggest merge and redirect to University of Colombo". Sadly, this article has no independently referenced content to merge (while it has several references, they all seem to be from the school website or from people affiliated the school), so if prod was disputed, time to discuss a simple deletion, unless anyone can find independent references to suggest this sub-university division is actually independently notable? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:46, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not going to vote yet but imo it doesn't have to have independent referencing to be remerged to the main article providing that article's notability is already established, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 19:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it looks like all the sources in the article are primary and it seems as though there's no in-depth secondary coverage about it anywhere. I agree a merge wouldn't be appropriate either and I don't think it's a good redirect term. So, deleting it sounds like the best option. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:33, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Colombo University as a selective merge, only the main points. Not everything in an article has to have secondary sourcing, primary will do if the article already passes notability, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 20:22, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to University of Colombo, in sufficient coverage to justify a separate standalone article. Dan arndt (talk) 02:51, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
