The result was merge to Manipal University. Clear consensus here for not keeping as a standalone article, and implementing some flavor of WP:ATD. There's less clear consensus on the amount of material to merge, but it would certainly be less than everything that's here; I'll leave the details up to whoever performs the merge. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:26, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

NN university club, no matter how one looks at it. First Ghit is Facebook, no news, no coverage, no awards, etc. SPA created. MSJapan (talk) 03:12, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

• Weak keep Merge to Manipal University - I actually do find some sources with our tools, which limits hits because I can only check English language sources. While these sources are light, the scope of the racing team makes me expect that reliable sources in other languages exist, just need to be found and included in the article.

update: I just realized that the university does have an article so if not enough sources turn up then the article can be merged there instead of deleting it. DeVerm (talk) 23:35, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

update: with no Indian sources being offered this argument I used is fading, which reduces the basis for a separate article, so I favor a merge now. DeVerm (talk) 14:04, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect to Manipal University By all means, this is a student club. We don't keep separate articles on them. The information in the article is unsourced and I couldn't find any sources to verify all the technical details. Nothing to merge here and I would recommend a redirect. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:38, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

• Merge to Manipal University as preferred WP:ATD. ~Kvng (talk) 13:51, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Comment There is nothing to merge here. A student club is usually never mentioned on the main article of the university. In addition, the content is unsourced. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 23:21, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

How do you view Formula Manipal then? It's a circuit racing team instead of an off-road racing team, but also a student initiative from the same university. There are hundreds of universities that compete in these classes; I don't know if they have Wikipedia articles or not, but there may be hundreds of articles to be deleted when following your reasoning. Not that it would be wrong, I can't find the guidelines that state that university racing teams are not to have articles or even mention in other articles? DeVerm (talk) 01:02, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

• Selective Merge to Manipal University, which presently has no mention of this topic. This will improve the merge target article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
