The result was delete. Per the recent precedent in similar AfDs and the WP:CIL issue, participation here suggests that both are important. —SpacemanSpiff 13:47, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are several issues with these lists. First, there is an issue of copyright in list in quoting an entire list. Second, they are misleading in that none of them is complete, and institutes are arbitrarily included or excluded. The same applies to ratings. Third, the lists are outdated and as such serve very little purpose. As a matter of fact, practically none of them are the targets of other articles.

• Delete all for the same reasons as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Indian University Rankings and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Indian law school rankings. These articles are poorly sourced and act are more than enrolment guide rather than an encyclopedia as per WP:NOT Ajf773 (talk) 07:25, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
