• Merge with the article of Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata Hagennos (talk) 05:48, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really see what properly sourced, non-promotional material there is to merge. The two sentences in the article is about what it is worth. --Muhandes (talk) 19:19, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Muhandes: I cannot find anything promotional about this article. Everything mentioned in the article is true-to-the-fact and is related to the article. Whatever information provided in the article which can be cited, has been cited. Any further citable information related to the article can be added in the future. You mentioned, "The two sentences in the article is about what it is worth". If you're referring to the article IISER Kolkata, which I believe you are, then you'll find the sentence in that article, "The college organizes a major annual festival, Inquivesta, which is promoted as one of the first and the biggest science fest of the country". An event of a premier science institute in India (institute of national importance), which is "promoted as one of the first and the biggest science fest of the country", should have its independent article. We already have multiple articles about college fests of institutes of national importance in India here on Wikipedia. I believe Inquivesta should be no different.

Avinash dash1997, please see WP:AFDFORMAT. It is unclear from your comment whether you are recommending a course of action and what that course of action is, or just making an observation. It may appear from your comment that you are supporting the Merge !vote which I don't believe is what you meant to do. If you meant to recommend we keep the article please do so appropriatly and sustain this recomendation with an argument that addresses the deletion rationale, i.e. that there is little substantially sourced claim for notability and the article fails WP:NEVENT and WP:GNG. --Muhandes (talk) 12:54, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Muhandes: If I could furnish a documented statement from the official authority of the institute IISER Kolkata, stating that all of the information about Inquivesta is legitimate, could it be regarded as a justifiable substantial source of information? The institute could put up certain information on its official website in this regard, which can be used as a reliable reference source. Avinash dash1997 (talk) 14:09, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the guidelines I linked above, WP:NEVENT and WP:GNG. The requirement is to show significant, non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time, in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. A statement of the institute has absolutely no relevance. --Muhandes (talk) 19:30, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect It's already mentioned in the article on the colege, and none of the details are worth merging. But a redirect seems reasonable . DGG ( talk ) 00:37, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata: It appears to be written as a piece of promotion/advertisment, nothing more. GSS (talk|c|em) 11:24, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
