Fair use rationale for Image:AUDST-logo.jpg[edit]

Image:AUDST-logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Dispute[edit]

The article contains a lot of unlikely information, which is difficult to verify. It needs additional references for its verification. The reference section need to be improved. Aditya(talkcontribs) 17:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which information is unlikely and cannot be verified? Unless there is a contrary opinion against a specific information on the article, there is no dispute. Arman (Talk) 01:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Listing notable alumni[edit]

Like any educational institution, the University doubtless has many accomplished alumni that it is proud of and who are proud of it. Before creating or expanding a list of "Notable alumni", however, be aware that Wikipedia has a number of policies and guidelines that bear on such lists:

  • A core content policy is verifiability. Every entry on a list must have reliable references that prove the entry belongs on the list.
LinkedIn is a self-published source. Self-published sources do not normally meet Wikipedia's definition of reliable. They can be used only in very limited circumstances. If a person expresses an opinion in a self-published source (e.g. "my favorite color is blue"), then it is an acceptable source for their opinion. It is not generally an appropriate source for statements of fact. LinkedIn is not a reliable source for statements like "so-and-so earned a degree from Atish Dipankar University of Science and Technology". LinkedIn should not be cited as a reference in this article.
  • "Notable" has a very specific meaning in Wikipedia. In the context of people, it means meeting the notability guideline for inclusion in the encyclopedia as a stand-alone article. In essence, people need significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent, secondary sources.
Only one entry on on the list of alumni has multiple, reliable, independent, secondary sources, but those sources mention him only briefly. They do not contain a significant depth of information about him, and so do not demonstrate that he is notable.
  • According to the guidelines for lists of people, lists of alumni should be restricted to those who are provably notable. They should have a pre-existing article, or multiple sources sufficient to prove both notability and the connection with the alma mater must be cited.

As of 15 December 2015, none of the entries on the notable alumni list have their own articles, and none cite the sources that would be required to justify them having their own articles, so the list has been removed.

If you believe the above is not in accordance with the policies and guidelines, believe other policies and guidelines apply instead, or simply disagree with the policies and guidelines, you are welcome to discuss that here to try to reach a consensus, but do not restore the list unilaterally.
