Keep as the subject easily passes WP:GNG due to the coverage in the independent reliable newspapers such as Times of India, Daily Bhaskar etc in the region. This is a notable college festival with technical competitions. Remember WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP if you believe that the content is promotional, tag it as such or fix the issues. --DBig Xrayᗙ 10:13, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It only took me a quick Google search to find a ton of reliable sources covering this event in detail. I agree that the article is not very well written but we should evaluate articles based on their potential and not what they currently look like. A badly written article on a notable subject should get an article but should be cleaned up by experts, while a well-written article on a non-encyclopedic topic is delete-worthy.

Keep and clean up Enough lasting independent coverage to pass WP:NEVENT, the Times of India is a paper of record, current sourcing is suboptimal but WP:NEXIST applies here. The article is in poor shape as is, but we're not into WP:TNT territory. A substantial trim may be needed including the removal of many sections unless an experienced translator/evaluator of hindi language sources finds they are reliable and support existing content. 2604:2000:8FC0:4:617F:E9A7:AF1C:4546 (talk) 19:20, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
