Draft:Faculty of Technology, University of Delhi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Still no evidence of notability.
    Note that while universities by and large are notable, individual faculties/departments/colleges etc. by and large aren't. Especially something that was only established last year is highly unlikely to be notable yet, if indeed it ever will be. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:04, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
