Requesting to delete and salt all articles, and block all suspected accounts. This institution is a self-styled University based in Kerala. A group of people, including students, alumni, staff members and paid editors who work as writers, authors, journalists in leading news agencies like The New Indian Express and Gulf Times, and news portals like TwoCircles.net, and Wikipedians, presenting an institution that does not even have a primary school as a university based on its own press releases, books, articles and self-created web profiles instead of independent evidence and they offer the kind of degrees or PGs offered by accredited universities.

- Delete and salt all From what I can tell it seems like all or most of the references in the article are written by people who are connected to the academy and for the purpose of promating it. Even if that wasn't the case though the article aren't up to Misplaced Pages's standards anyway. For instance the article "Four Muslim students from Kerala to address Youth Conference at UN General Assembly" in the Deccan Chronicle wouldn't work for notability IMO even if there was no COI issues with the writer. Another example is that one of the articles from TwoCircles.net, "Darul Huda Islamic University" is about them opening a couple of satellite campuses. Which is extremely WP:MILL. Plus it contains a lot of PROMO puffery like "Darul Huda Islamic University is all set to spread its wings" and "off campuses will be set up apart from initiatives meant to educationally empower Muslims in these states." Neither of those quotes are written from a neutral, un-bias perspective. It's also worth noting that the title for the bhatkallys.com shares the exact same line about the academy "spreading it's wings" that is in the TwoCircles.net article. I'd be pretty surprised if the extremely similar wording was a just a coincidence. Probably the articles were written by the same COI editor. --Adamant1 (talk) 12:00, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep I have went through all the talks and discussions related to Darul Huda Islamic University. And from my findings, I don't think that the article violates any of the Misplaced Pages rules. The references of the article seems to be genuine.
- The Islamic University talking about is notable by the references.
- From the article, it's clear that, DHIU is a private Islamic University in Kerala. It has'nt termed itself as a Public University and hence doesn't need other affiliations other than that mentioned.
- I didn't find any offence with the sources referenced with the article as mentioned above. The university events have been published on other articles also like The Hindu. I don't think it would be self-published.--Nezvm (talk) 16:11, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

- Keep, I see no evidence that the articles published in The Hindu and the New Indian Express , sources that are generally considered reliable, managed to evade those publications' editorial oversight and were intended as promotion by the author(s). The article may need some cleanup, but that's not an issue for AfD. Huon (talk) 18:43, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
