Adianta School for Leadership and Innovation

None of the independent sources given are particularly reliable, and I can't find any mention of the school on the TU Delft website at all, and only a passing mention on the Nesta website: nothing indicating a proper partnership. The article was created in 2013 by a user who has only created this page and one about the school's founder, Dr. Aditya Dev Sood, which was deleted. There has been no interest in the page since then (it's still an orphan, and hasn't attracted any edits). I also can't find any in-depth coverage of the topic in reliable independent sources, so I sincerely doubt that it passes the GNG. Slashme (talk) 14:51, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We operate on the assumption that all places of higher learning are notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:11, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're referring to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools, which says that "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are usually kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists." However, I can't find any reliable source saying that this is actually an independently accredited institution, and tellingly, their website doesn't mention the word "accredited" at all. --Slashme (talk) 20:26, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a diploma mill and not a legitimate degree awarding institution, one that isn't written about by anyone. Any degree awarding institution has to be recognized by the University Grants Commission or All India Council for Technical Education or be part of a university system with the recognition being awarded to the university. That doesn't appear to be the case here. There's obviously nothing noteworthy here as no one outside of Wikipedia (among reliable sources) has bothered to write about this place. —SpacemanSpiff 02:21, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails our notability guidelines, with no significant coverage in reliable sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:50, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete based on the dearth of coverage in reliable sources, and that this is probably a shady operation - a diploma mill - without recognition from appropriate Indian agencies.---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:02, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I could find no reputable sources with significant coverage, at least in English or a quick Google translate of Indian sources. Yvarta (talk) 19:55, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
