Hello, Indiastudies, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Center for the Advanced Study of India, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.
Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process.

The article Center for the Advanced Study of India has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-notable sub-entity of the University of Pennsylvania. Article was created by the possibly affiliated editor Indiastudies and is somewhat promotional and poorly referenced to independent sources. The only independent source; rediff, is an example of trivial coverage of personnel changes that doesn't satisfy WP:NORG. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES says that subentities of universities are generally kept if they've made "significant contributions" to their field. While arguably CASI is the leading center for India studies in the United States, that is because it's the only center for India studies in the United States. If one was to judge CASI against academic research centers in the US that focus on other countries (like the many that study China), CASI is not a very important center.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
