Fails WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. Indian media sources should be viewed carefully, as they often present press releases as news WP:RSNOI, WP:ROUTINE. TC-BT-1C-SI (talk) 12:29, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

• Comment - when I last edited this article > 10 years ago, WP:RSP did not exist, much less WP:RSNOI that clearly affects notability here (based on the sources in this article). Actually, when WP:RSP came to exist in 2018, MTGF may have ceased to exist already. Their last [https://www.facebook.com/MicroFoundation/ Facebook] post was in March 2018. Their [https://web.archive.org/web/20170927174407/http://microfoundation.net/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi website] went down in 2017. Their initiative, Micro Premier League, had its last [https://www.facebook.com/MicroPremierLeague/ Facebook] post in 2018. Their parent company Micro Technologies (India) Ltd has no article here, and [https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/computers-software-mediumsmall/microtechnologies/MT11 possibly] ceased to exist in 2014, with their [https://web.archive.org/web/20150109212944/microtechnologies.net website] going down in 2015. starship.paint (talk / cont) 06:08, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
• Due to WP:RSNOI, it is imperative to review non-news sources. [https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Micro+Tech+Global+Foundation%22 Google Books] produces four results, which all seem to be false positives (preceding MTGF's founding in 2010, or just no mention in the book). Google Scholar produces [https://www.rkmmanr.org/uploads/Finance-of-Navi-Mumbai-Municipal-Corporation.pdf one] result under "Micro Tech Global Foundation", which merely cites MTGF as a reference for " Land Use Pattern of Navi Mumbai", nothing is described further about MTGF. Google Scholar produces [https://research.ebsco.com/c/77mf3w/search/details/qu3hzndcov?db=ehh one] result for "MicroTech Global Foundation", but this is an article written by MTGF's chairman. Google News produces [https://www.gatewayhouse.in/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/FICCI_Blue-Economy-Vision-2025.pdf one] report where MTGF's chairman contributed to, and [https://digitallearning.eletsonline.com/2012/09/micro-tech-global-foundation-honours-innovative-studnets/ one] press-release like report. starship.paint (talk / cont) 06:28, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

• Delete - in light of the nominator's rationale, including WP:RSNOI, WP:ROUTINE and the lack of coverage in books or scholarly sources as I have written above, plus the already defunct < 10 years existence of this organization means no further notability. [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=all-time&pages=Micro_Tech_Global_Foundation Page viewcount] since 2015 lists an average of 1 view per day, so not prominent at all. starship.paint (talk / cont) 06:34, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
