This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (it simply lists down verifiable facts about an academic institute, Jindal Global Business School, with references to established third party websites and in no way solicits commercial transactions ) --Buzzthatworks (talk) 16:29, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to differ. Having been establushed n 2010, all the information in the article can be found in the school's infomational pamphlets. I don't want to sound insulting, but the article subject is un-notable and the article itself is simply touting the school. Perhaps - perhaps - it rates inclusion in the Jindal Global Law School article, as they sound related. TreacherousWays (talk) 16:36, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Though I have also listed Jindal Global Law School as being of questionalble notability and of being in need of review by an expert. Maybe I'm being overly harsh, but shouldn't at least some students graduate before the school gets listed? There may be something to salvage from the articles in terms of local notability, but just listing that the school exists? An uninvolved editor familiar with the area and the topic might best be able to explain why this article has relevence. TreacherousWays (talk) 16:45, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jindal Global Law School is the school of law at the O.P. Jindal Global University, while Jindal Global Business School is the School of Business. Since they're two distinct schools within the same university, I'm not sure it would make sense to have one included in the other. I have edited the content again and removed any instances that might make it seem like touting or promotion. While I agree that being a young school means it's not as notable as one with a few years under its belt, established business schools partnering with it does lend it some relevance. I'm hoping you or another editor can help me salvage this article. Thanks for your time! Buzzthatworks (talk) 17:05, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

With sincere apologies, I am no expert on the topic. You sound like you're well-intentioned, but the truth is that people closely connected with a topic often have trouble writing good articles on that subject. George Patton's book on World War II reads very differently than Montgomery's book on the same subject - both books are good, but neither book can be remotely considered neutral or without bias. If both articles survive scrutiny (and they may very well do so- certainly I'm not perfect, either) I would suggest that you go over the article word-by-word imagining that you are the dean of a rival college or a newspaper editor looking for a story. The end result will be honest and informative. TreacherousWays (talk) 17:17, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
