IP users at 5.71.31.133 and 130.88.99.222, please stop removing the paragraph on the International Accreditation Organization from the Accreditation section without offering a rationale or refuting its statements with cites from reliable sources. This is valid information which is strongly sourced. As the university's own website claims accreditation by this organization, it is clearly relevant. Nick Number ( talk) 14:35, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
IP user at 130.88.12.235, I'm reproducing the two comments you left on my Talk page here so that others can weigh in:
The references 4,5,6,7 are not relevant to SOAU and readers. It has nothing to do with the accreditation agency. So "The university also claims certification by the International Accreditation Organization,[4] a website which The New York Times and other sources have reported as a distributor of illegitimate degrees.[5][6][7]' and the references 4-7 need to be deleted. It is not good for wikipedia to show something irrelevant and ridiculous. Readers will get annoyed! Can you find the name of SOAU in the IAO wikipedia link? /info/en/?search=Axact Check and let me know. So showing this in SOAU wikipedia page is irrelevant!. SOAU has not taken any accreditation from such face websites. So these unsubstantiated references needs to be deleted!
I'm afraid that I don't understand your assertions. The fact that the university isn't explicitly mentioned in the NYT's admittedly-incomplete list in the Axact article doesn't have any bearing on this - IAO is listed as one of Axact's brands, and the university's own website cites accreditation by IAO. That seems to me to be something that readers would be glad to know, rather than annoyed. Nick Number ( talk) 15:48, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
130.88.12.235 ( talk) 10:26, 18 April 2016 (UTC)it might have occurred in the past. presently it is accredited to UGC, Govt of India. It has been given the highest A grade by NAAC in India. It ranks 26th in the recent university ranking by govt. of India. so this sentence in the section Accreditation and Ranking should be deleted!
130.88.12.235 ( talk) 10:34, 18 April 2016 (UTC)It could be AIAO (American International Accreditation Organization). See the webpage http://www.aiao-bar.org/so the last sentence in the section Accreditation and Ranking should be deleted! 130.88.12.235 ( talk) 10:37, 18 April 2016 (UTC)It could be AIAO (American International Accreditation Organization). See the webpage http://www.aiao-bar.org/ . so the last sentence in the section Accreditation and Ranking should be deleted!

130.88.12.235 ( talk) 15:22, 18 April 2016 (UTC)There is only one accreditation organization in USA i.e. AIAO. But this webpage /info/en/?search=Axact is pakistan based!Indian universities do not get accreditation from Pakistani websites! So there is a typo there in the SOAU webpage and it should be written as AIAO instead. for further clarification on this please contact the University administration. E-mail: info@soauniversity.ac.in Telephone: +91-674- 2350635, 2350791, Fax: +91 - 674 - 2350642. Any ambiguous sentences and references need to be removed from wikipedia webpages to maintain quality standard.
130.88.12.235 ( talk) 10:28, 19 April 2016 (UTC)Do you have any confirmation that SOAU is accredited to Pakistan based IAO as the link ( /info/en/?search=Axact) in the SOAU Wikipedia page suggests? If you are not sure, then you should remove the entire ambiguous sentence and references. By the way, well established Indian Universities do not need foreign accreditation. As you know SOAU is well accredited with Indian Government agencies. Even if these references stay in the Wikipedia pages nothing will happen to the University's reputation and functioning. People of India believe in Indian accreditation agencies than foreign accreditation agencies. Therefore baseless and ambiguous sentences and references should be removed to maintain Wikipedia standard.
A similar discussion has just started at Talk:T. R. Abhilashi Memorial Institute of Engineering and Technology. Nick Number ( talk) 14:27, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
I see that the mention of IAO is finally gone from the university's website. So maybe we can have an end to this saga. Nick Number ( talk) 17:29, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
I propose that Institute of Technical Education and Research (ITER) be merged into Siksha 'O' Anusandhan (SOA). I think that the content in the ITER article can easily be explained in the context of SOA, and the SOA article is of a reasonable size that the merging of ITER will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Also, according to ITER's website, [1] ITER is a faculty of SOA, and common practice is that unless general notability can be shown, faculties are discussed as part of the institute. -- Muhandes ( talk) 17:35, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
