School of Biotechnology, Banaras Hindu University was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 01 September 2011 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Banaras Hindu University. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.

Date of BHU founding

The Bhu article, which I have redirected here, said: "It is thus one of the oldest universities in India. Set up in 1929 by Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya the ancient city of Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges in the Northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh." Why does this article say 1916 but the other one said 1929? I have no idea which one is correct. Remes 23:11, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I am a student of BHU at present, and I can say affirmly that founding of BHU was in 1916, as it is evident byBHU website itself. www.bhu.ac.in. The first Vice chancellor was appointed from 1916- Sir Sunderlal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.227.97.99 (talk) 18:33, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merge from medical college article, IMS-BHU

I propose a merge from the medical college article into this main university article. Whatever is in the college's article is very little and can be a decent section in this article instead. Kavadi carrier 01:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its a separate institute with a big Hospital in BHU campus and it also have separate selection criteria so it needs an dedicated page.
Do not merge. Vjdchauhan 06:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Both the BHU article and the BHU IMS article need a lot of work, and as they stand they could be one article. However, when they are fleshed out, they will need to be in separate articles as they have a separate history, purpose, and future.

Polishing the article

This is a great school but the article needs some work. It is hard to get a sense of what is unique about this university based only on the good description of its early history which is in here. What is special about this school nowadays? Any notable student organizations, cultural programs, something besides typical academia? Bluerasberry (talk) 23:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed people from list of alumni

I removed persons from the list of alumni if they did not have a wikipedia entry. Does anyone think any of them should go back? Here are those people: Bluerasberry (talk) 23:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After a year and a half, some more! Blue Rasberry 20:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

After another eight months, more. Blue Rasberry (talk) 06:40, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am checking in after some time. I am seeing that some of the red-links above are turning blue as articles are created for these people and I am happy about that. Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removed all names from article

I just removed all the names from the article. The names comprised a huge portion of the total article and I thought it was distracting to the university article and did not give fair prominence to the names, so I put the names in their own article here - List of Banaras Hindu University people - and made a section in this article linking to that one. I also made appropriate categories and modeled it all after the way it was done in List of Harvard University people. Any thoughts on this? Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History section copy paste problem

this a a straight copy from their web age. I removed it by commenting it out to prevent it displaying, though it is still visible in the edit box. It must be rewritten entirely DGG ( talk ) 06:39, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am removing the copyright notice because the web page cited seems not to exist on their site or in Google cache. In any case I am rewriting the section right now. Blue Rasberry (talk) 06:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright

This article has been the subject of NUMEROUS copyright violations and it's getting very old. If this continues the article will be protected making it difficult for everyone to contribute. Please stop copying and pasting form elsewhere. In addition to the incidents noted above, most recently text from a webpage, which was specific to a college within the university, not even the university itself was pasted into the article replacing all other material. The article has been reduced to a stub and the appropriate infobox added. Please continue editing this article but do so responsibly with your own words rather than stealing material found on the web. Dont forget to cite your reliable sources.--RadioFan (talk) 13:31, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If there is are any repeat offenders for copyright violations then I am not aware of who the offenders might be. I oppose page protection because this article continually attracts new users to Wikipedia. The issue is that this article is for an Indian school and concepts of piracy and copyright are not as established in India as they are in other English-speaking countries. Instead of page protection or deletion of almost all article text as you have done, I support reverting individual instances of copyright violation and sending personal messages to all who transgress the rules. If the violations are getting tedious for you then please post on the talk page when there is a problem. As best I can tell, there was one post by DGG stating that there was a problem with the history section which was identified a month ago, and no one has posted on the talk page about any other problems.

Here are the changes which you made from the stable version of the article; I appreciate that you spent a half hour here but I do not understand at all why you deleted so much. I am reverting everything and am re-writing the history section. Blue Rasberry (talk) 06:04, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:RadioFan again deleted the entire page for reasons which are not clear to me. At the time I had a construction template on the history section and was working on it. Now it is done and I think that nothing in the history section can be said to violate copyright. I removed the construction template and the copyvio template. If there are further problems then please bring them to this talkpage. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 04:34, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As stated above, there were numerous copyright violations and additional questionable sections that appeared to be copied from elsewhere but could not be tagged as copyright violations immediately. I thought it best to stub it and give a fresh start, providing some guidance to the often new editors creating these problems. If you are comfortable with the content in the article and that it was created by you or contributors and is not copied from elsewhere, thats great. Carry on.--RadioFan (talk) 14:56, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I vouch for the history section and will be watching the article otherwise. Thanks for spending time on this. I am arranging the page to include your additions to the institute sections, so that everything you designed to create the stub will also be incorporated into the current article.

Kashi Hindu Vishwavidyalaya

Can someone please explain how, if at all, "Kashi Hindu Vishwavidyalaya" is related? I saw the term mentioned in similar context. --Muhandes (talk) 06:48, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is an oddity, but the school has two different official names. The name you mentioned is its Hindi-language name, and the English-language name is Banaras Hindu University. Most people call the school BHU and I would recommend that after the lede the school be referenced as BHU. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:57, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Use of Bharat Ratna

I read somewhere, and found on this site "https://www.thequint.com/news/india/what-are-the-perks-offered-to-a-bharat-ratna-awardee" that "Unlike other awards and contrary to popular perception, the Bharat Ratna Award does not carry any monetary grant. The award cannot be used as a prefix or suffix to the recipient’s name (italics mine). But an award winner may use the following expressions in their biodata/letterhead/visiting card to indicate that he/she is a recipient of the award. The allowed expressions are ‘Awarded Bharat Ratna by the President’ or ‘Recipient of Bharat Ratna Award’"

If true, I suggest that proper changes may please be made at the earliest. chami 04:57, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
