Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to India. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|India|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to India. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

This was previously redirected to S-400 missile system, but was reverted and asked to take to a deletion discussion. The article is a pure POV fork of the main S-400 article. It is the exact same system, simply called by an alternative name. Reliable sources do not widely refer to the S-400, even in Indian usage, as "Sudarshan Chakra" so it fails WP:COMMONNAME even if it were a separate article. The Sudarshan Chakra (air defence system) article should be deleted, and the page redirected to S-400 missile system. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 18:20, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Subject does not meet GNG. The sources are mostly not independent (press releases, interviews, a paper written by the subject, company profiles). The ToI article [1] might be sigcov of a company he founded, but the only parts about the subject are quotes from him. This [2] contains a four-sentence mention but really isn't focused on him. The only information I can find in Swiss media is that a person with his exact full name seems to have opened a Subway sandwich store in Langenthal, but the coverage all comes from one source (Berner Zeitung) and is mostly quotes. There are also two hits for his name in reports on judo competitions, far from sigcov. Toadspike [Talk] 15:21, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Nothing other than the sources in the article showed up on Google. ToadetteEdit (7M articles) 07:02, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep or Draftify : This article has more citations than many biography articles in Wikipedia. There are atleast three sources having significant coverage on the subject. (https://www.deshabhimani.com/deshabhimani-english-/cpim-24th-party-congress-54751/new-members-to-cpim-polit-bureau-98849) (https://www.deccanchronicle.com/southern-states/telangana/cpm-elects-arun-kumar-to-politburo-1871349) (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AD2Cs3QrY/) More sources can be added with time. So deletion is not the curation option. The article can be draftified if most editors think that this article needs improvement.

Non-notable officer, fails GNG (Note: most of the sources from the article are either dead, or made-up links which doesn't exist early but designed in a way to made it notable, kindly cross-check if I'm wrong ).

- Keep – The article meets both WP:GNG and WP:MILPEOPLE. The subject is the first Indian woman to lead an all-male UN peacekeeping contingent, a role covered in The Times of India, UN News, and Sainik Samachar. The 2025 events and awards are fictional placeholders for current/future updates and should be trimmed, not deleted entirely. The core notability is verifiable, independently covered, and encyclopedic. Recommend trimming uncited or speculative material and keeping the article. EduExplorer47 (talk) 06:31, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Speedy keep: The subject is super notable, so she's clearly passes WP:GNG. News about the subject has been consistently appearing for years, and according to the article, the subject has also won several notable awards. I believe this is sufficient to justify keeping the article on Wikipedia. I had also created a separate article titled Sophia Qureshi, perhaps unintentionally. If any senior editor wishes to merge both articles, they are welcome to do so. Thank you. Baqi:) (talk) 11:29, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

There is no doubt that the subject is notable as a book. However, the authorship of the book is highly disputed, and even the content variations are debatable. This issue has been discussed by Ahlehaqmedia, a scholarly website. In its current form, the article would need to be entirely rewritten based on reliable sources. Given the present structure and sourcing, it is not suitable as a standalone article. I propose redirecting it to the article on Ashraf Ali Thanwi.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 15:37, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Fails WP:BIO. A search for sources largely turned up passing mentions which only note his position as the bodyguard unit commandant, without providing any WP:SIGCOV about him. At most we have this Indian Express piece on the unit in which Berwal provides details on the unit - but again, no sigcov about the person himself. JavaHurricane 11:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers, Television, India, and Andhra Pradesh. Theroadislong (talk) 07:52, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- I believe the article should be kept as Arjun Ambati is a notable figure in the Telugu film industry. He has a significant filmography, with key roles in well-known projects, and his work has been covered by various media outlets. Additionally, he has a Google Knowledge Panel, which is an indicator of recognition and notability in the public domain.
- I am working on adding more reliable sources, including interviews and articles from established media, to strengthen the article. His contributions to the industry further demonstrate his standing and relevance.
- Thank you for considering my input. Kanthrajmys (talk) 08:05, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- A Google knowledge panel does not mean anything in terms of notability at Wikipedia. --bonadea contributions talk 08:12, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete – there is no coverage at all of him in independent sources, much less any significant coverage. --bonadea contributions talk 08:08, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback and for reviewing the article. I would like to gently highlight that Arjun Ambati has been covered by independent and reliable sources such as The Times of India, Eenadu, Sakshi, and Andhra Jyothy. His work in Telugu television and cinema has also been featured on platforms like Gemini TV and Telugu Filmnagar. While I understand that a Google Knowledge Panel alone doesn't establish notability, it does suggest public interest and recognition. I’m continuing to improve the article by adding more reliable sources.

- I understand your concern regarding the notability and reliance on affiliated sources. I've already removed several promotional or affiliated references and replaced them with some independent sources that I believe are more neutral and reliable.
- Could you please guide me further on the kind of changes that would align this article with Wikipedia's notability guidelines? Specifically:
- Are there certain sources currently in the article that still do not meet the standard of independence and reliability?
- Would adding coverage from particular types of third-party publications (e.g. newspapers, academic journals, industry reviews) help establish notability?
- Are there tone-related areas you feel still read as promotional?

In the article, except for one source from Lallantop, all other sources only mention the name in relation to cheetah hunting. These do not provide significant coverage to meet WP:GNG, WP:BLP, or WP:SIGCOV criteria. Therefore, the article should be deleted. SachinSwami (talk) 08:22, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

- The page creator has added three sources, but these sources only briefly mention the individual in specific contexts (cheetah extinction and princely state merger) without providing significant coverage of the person’s life, achievements, or background. Therefore, the article does not meet WP:GNG (lacking significant coverage in reliable, independent sources) or WP:BLP (no in-depth, verifiable information for a biography). SachinSwami (talk) 10:58, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: Not the best quality, but I think sources present indicate he is notable beyond WP:1E as the ruler of a princely state (arguably an WP:NPOL pass), a participant in the Round Table Conferences, the independence kerfuffle, and the hunting. The Lallantop is currently doing a lot of heavy lifting, but I think there is enough here to surpass WP:NOPAGE. Additionally, I did a cursory search on GBooks specifically excluding the word "cheetah" and found a number of supplementary primary sources which can additionally be used for basic facts to fill in some of the holes. Also, WP:BLP only applies for living or recently deceased people, so does not matter here. Curbon7 (talk) 11:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- More sources likely to exist in Hindi; is there a translation of his name? Curbon7 (talk) 11:29, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- I seem to have figured out that his final name "Deo" can also be translated as "Dev" or "Deva". Searching that pointed me towards this page from the "Directorate of Culture and Archaeology of the Government of Chhattisgarh", which includes his background and stuff he did as ruler (education reforms, etc.). Pulling from the Lallantop article, his name in Hindi seems to be रामानुज प्रताप सिंह देव ; I cannot read Hindi so cannot search for sources in that language very well.

Chronos.Zx (talk) 11:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)- Ramanuj Pratap Singh Deo was the King of Korea State and clearly meets notability criteria.

- I want to clarify that I am not engaging in revenge nomination.
- The first page was not created by me; I only contributed to it. However, I did not insist on keeping it or create any dispute there, and I even replied that it could be deleted if needed, which should have been mentioned here. Additionally, there was another comment in support of keeping that page, but you are making false accusations against me.
- Most importantly, I have made contributions over the past month, and if you wish to bring all of them to AfD for deletion, you may do so as per Wikipedia policies—I will absolutely not participate in supporting them. Make all efforts as you see fit; I have neither any benefit nor loss from this. I have only brought this to AfD as per Wikipedia guidelines.

The article reads overly promotional and borders on G11. It needs a complete rewrite for neutral tone, but only if notability is established. When discounting routine business coverage such as press releases, funding announcements, and store opening updates, there is virtually no significant, in-depth coverage from reliable, independent secondary sources.

- Delete: Part of a set of articles created, moved to strange places, nominated for deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plastic Weaving Art), speedily deleted and so forth. The creating editor seems to be trying to make a point rather than argue their case. WP:POINT may well apply. Duplicates Plastic Weaving Art] in spirit if not in words. Could well be CSD A10.

- Delete - for the same reasons as Plastic Weaving Art. Seems to be a series of articles that are designed to promote the textile industry of India, almost like a social media marketing campaign which may or may not involve COI/UPE. The history of moving of these related articles is quite odd, and the series is beginning to look like the start of a walled garden. Nevertheless, the article reads like both an essay and as a veiled advertisement for the industry as mentioned above in Theroadislog's nomination and by Timtrent. The sourcing looks like standard PR, not serious journalism, and I'm finding that most of the sources are dead 404 links. Interestingly, When I ran it through ZeroGPT, the analysis was that the body of the article was 99.53% generated by Artificial Intelligence. The lead section seemed to be written by a human. (Note that there are now AI programs that will "humanize" AI-written text.) Between failing WP:GNG, and the other problems, it's best to delete this PROMO. Netherzone (talk) 13:07, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Disputed draftification. WP:DRAFTOBJECT prevents unilateral return to Draft, however, in view of the creating editor appearing unwilling to take the advice of reviewers, I feel deletion to be the correct route. As part of my rationale I quote the latest reviewer, Theroadislong: "still entirely inappropriate tone and unclear what the sources are supporting as they are not inline...see WP:REFB". I see WP:ESSAY and WP:ADMASQ, together with a paucity of correct referencing. I doubt WP:GNG. I cannot spot it. The term is not a neologism per se, but this appears to be a 'new thing' not (yet) having notability.

- Delete - This article reads like an advertisement for the plastic weaving industry in the city of Dharavi. However the weaving of plastic has taken place around the world for practical applications for example clothing from synthetic fibers, Kevlar for armor, industrial upholstery, artists works, etc. It's not a new thing, it's just not something that happens solely in Dharavi. The sources are not verifiable that the plastic weaving industry in Dharavi is particularly notable enough to distinguish it from other 100s of other places around the globe. I agree that this seems like both an essay, but even more so like an advertisement or promo. Netherzone (talk) 20:45, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

The subject fails WP:GNG due to a lack of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Acting roles are minor—brief appearances in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Mirzapur, and Aashram and do not meet WP:NACTOR. The "world record" lacks notability, and relation to a politician is irrelevant. Most sources, like ANI press releases and Nai Dunia, are unreliable or do not mention the subject. The article also shows WP:COI issues and feels like WP:TOOSOON.
The article's credibility is further undermined by the page creator uploading an image with false copyright claims, which was deleted twice for violations despite being claimed as their own work. Zuck28 (talk) 15:33, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep - PSU, previously AIPSU, is active since 1950s, and has played a significant role in student politics in Kerala, West Bengal and, to some extent, Tripura. But it's an organization that is now well past its heydays, and its online footprint isn't great. I note this "RSP did not fail to cast its net wide enough to reach the student community . Its student wing is called PSU or Progressive Students ' Union . In pre - partition days , RSP student leaders who worked hand in hand with the All India Students Congress , took part in the struggles against the British Raj . They joined demonstrations for the release of INA prisoners , observed Rashid Ali Day , and campaigned against communal riots . But they had no alliance with the student cadres of the CPI . In post - independence period , All Bengal Students Congress adopted a policy of all out support to the Congress Govt . and the RSP found it increasingly difficult to support this rightwing leadership . Hence in 1956 , the PSU came into existence . The students belonging to the PSU upheld the cause of universal education , democratic management of schools and colleges , more budgetary allocation of funds for education etc. The PSU sent volunteers for the liberation of Goa , organised relief squads for the refugees , protested against the increase in school fees and undemocratic Bill for the Board of secondary Education . Sourindra Nath Bhattacharya , Bijan Biswas , Prof. Buddhadeb Bhattacharya were prominent student leaders of the RSP . Banin Ray , Kshiti Goswami were also in the limelight for many years . But the PSU was never considered a very strong force in West Bengal student movement ." (Marxist Parties of West Bengal in Opposition and in Government, 1947-2001 (p. 88))
Another ref is [https://ia601504.us.archive.org/4/items/in.ernet.dli.2015.131364/2015.131364.The-Politics-Of-Scarcity_text.pdf The Politics of Scarcity (p. 181) by Myron Weiner "Two other student movements claim national coverage, the Progressive Students Union, sponsored by the Marxist-left, and the Socialist-sponsored Socialist Student Organization. The PSU was started in 1954 and claims thousands of members in Calcutta and tens of thousands nationally. Like members of the Youth Congress and AISF, they arc active in attempting to gain control of the various college unions, and have succeeded in a few of the Calcutta colleges. They participated in the 1954 teachers’ movement for higher wages, sent volunteers to the Goa satyagraha campaign, and agitated against the attempt to merge the states of Bihar and West Bengal. In 1955 the PSU agitated against raising tuition fees, and in 1957 they participated in the protest against high food prices. The PSU is strongest in Calcutta, as arc the other student groups in Bengal, and is less active in the rural schools and colleges. Its most active workers, like those of the Marxist-left parties that give it support, have come from East Bengal."
I'd argue this is a case of WP:NEXIST, where it is clear that if we had access to regional print media from Kerala and Bengal from 1950s, 1960s, 1970s etc we'd have plenty of material to use as source. We do find some proxies of this online, such as [8], [9] The Telegraph (on conflict at a college in WB), The Telegraph (report on a 2 day district conf attended by state minister), [https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/rsp-sets-terms-for-election-alliance/cid/842288, a school gherao (2005). On participation is Bengal refugee movement, The Marginal Men: The Refugees and the Left Political Syndrome in West Bengal (p. 383). Per non-WP:RS source AIPSU won 1969 student elections in West Bengal in 5 colleges. AIPSU also produced many of the RSP national leaders, such as T. J. Chandrachoodan and Kshiti Goswami. --Soman (talk) 10:44, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in WP:LISTED (or any other) case. Fails to meet WP:NCORP, WP:CORPDEPTH. Indian media sources, whether on or off Wikipedia, should be viewed with caution, as they often present press releases as news WP:RSNOI. Apart from that, activities like announcing annual/quarterly results, joint ventures, capacity expansion news etc., are merely routine coverage WP:ROUTINE, regardless of where they are published.

- 1. Report by HDFC Securities - There is a disclaimer on slide number 11, which clearly states the following; "
HSL or its associates might have received any compensation from the companies mentioned in the report during the period preceding twelve months from t date of this report for services in respect of managing or co-managing public offerings, corporate finance, investment banking or merchant banking, brokerage services or other advisory service in a merger or specific transaction in the normal course of business.
" - 2. Report by YES Securities - The disclaimer on page number 11 explicitly states the following: "
Since YSL and its associates are engaged in various businesses in the financial services industry, they may have financial interest or may have received compensation for investment banking or merchant banking or brokerage services or for any other product or services of whatsoever nature from the subject company(ies) in the past twelve months or associates of YSL may have managed or co-managed public offering of securities in the past twelve months of the subject company(ies) whose securities are discussed herein.
" and "Associates of YSL may have actual/beneficial ownership of 1% or more and/or other material conflict of interest in the securities discussed herein.
" - 3. Report by PL Capital - At page number 8, in the Disclaimer section (Indian clients), we can find the following texts; "
PL may from time to time solicit or perform investment banking or other services for any company mentioned in this document.
" and "PL or its associates might have received compensation from the subject company in the past twelve months.
" - These disclaimers are printed in a very small fonts in most cases, and we only noticed them recently because of Senco Gold's AfD. It's apparent that such 'analyst' reports don't qualify as reliable under WP:IS. Charlie (talk) 05:46, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Abstain - The problem with blockchains/crypto project articles on Wikipedia is that most sources of crypto information are not allowed for RS despite that many of them are credible and factually-correct. This blanket ban over all crypto news sites and the exclusion of primary sources (specifically developer documentation) is the main bottleneck into providing accurate information on blockchains and crypto projects. Without them, it's extremely difficult to fill in any information at all for any crypto project. That being said, Fetch is somewhat of an exception because most news sites have provided very inaccurate information on Fetch.ai because they are based on Fetch.ai's marketing blogs and publications instead of on documentation. As usual, the most accurate source of crypto project information is not marketing or news but developer documentation. HSukePup (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Such a person is notable if:... The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews...

WP:NFILM does not require a franchise to have a certain number of films to be notable. WP:CRYSTAL would only apply if the article includes unverified predictions or details about future developments.

- Delete Yes, Shankargb is correct that BLP1E is not applicable to organizations (BLP1E = biography of living person, one event). Regardless, the article was created and often edited by a single purpose account, and the sources are inadequate e.g. founder's hometown newspaper Austin-American Statesman is local coverage which is insufficient per WP:NGO. I don't know if Business World New Delhi is WP:RS for an NGO, especially not if it read like a press release. The organization was founded in 2000, yet there has been only passing mention of it in 25 years. I also agree with what WormEater13 said about the article needing an entire rewrite due to both inadequate sourcing AND the fact that it is in bad shape (sentence fragments, bad grammar, etc.) but that is an aside; it isn't sufficiently notable for inclusion.--FeralOink (talk) 13:40, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

- WP:WHYN states
We require multiple sources so that we can write a reasonably balanced article that complies with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, rather than representing only one author's point of view. This is also why multiple publications by the same person or organization are considered to be a single source for the purpose of complying with the "multiple" requirement.
So the Austin paper is to be viewed as a single source, and what is linked here, therefore, is one source. I also advise looking at the issue of sustained coverage at WP:SUSTAINED. Lamona (talk) 16:00, 4 May 2025 (UTC)- I don't interpret a newspaper, magazine, or journal as an organization re: WP:WHYN. For the Austin American-Statesman articles, the first is from 2007 written by Flynn (2 above) which focuses on the founder and the origin story of the foundation. One could argue 2010 written by Barnes (6 & 6b above) covers similar information. However the article from 2017 written by Barnes (1 & 1b) is about the foundation president who was brought in to help the foundation show it was making progress by international standards, i.e. different content here. So there's a strong argument to count these as two sources with WP:SIGCOV, i.e. Flynn from 2007 and Barnes from 2017. The People article from 2015 and the Daily Press (Virginia) article by Stevens from 2017 (5 above) cover similar details from the Austin newspaper but are outside of Austin. The Christian Science Monitor article from 2015 initially focuses on the founder but gives more information about the foundation. There is also an article in the Atlanta Constitution from 2017 which gives some origin but also new information. There's also an article from the Monitor in 2020 (4 above, McAllen, TX is 300 miles away from Austin), Business World New Delhi in 2020, and KXAN in 2023 (Austin NBC station). So there are another seven references, in addition to the Austin American-Statesman ones, all total written from 2007-2023, re: WP:SUSTAINED. A new Miracle Foundation article could be written with all of the above, if there is consensus these sources meet WP:BASIC. Nnev66 (talk) 17:15, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- WP:WHYN states
- Here are the articles clipped so anyone can read them: 1+1b, 2, 3+3b, 4, 5, 6+6b, 7. All but the last one are significant coverage. Some of these are in the article about the founder. Nnev66 (talk) 17:45, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - It seems the article was created by a connected editor, who may or may not have been (or is) employed by the foundation (according to their user page). They never responded to the UPE warning on their user page. While I am strongly opposed to paid editing and discourage COI editing in general, any promo or NPOV remaining in the article can be cleaned up if it is kept. Having said that I still think the foundation is notable and the article on the founder, if deleted can be redirected to this article (if kept). Netherzone (talk) 19:23, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- I agree with you that the founder could be included in a page about the foundation although I think she has enough coverage to have a page of her own; merging content from her page to this one is a better option than deleting both. This article needs a complete re-write which I’m hesitant to do before AfD concludes. That would remove content contributed by the account which has a name suggesting a conflict of interest.

- Comment I've started a sources table because it's easier to absorb than links, and perhaps easier for discussion. It may be necessary to identify the different Austin-S articles. I'll add that in if I can. This list includes the sources in the article and the sources identified by Netherzone and Nnev66. Note that for sources I don't know to be reliable I have left a "?" but haven't looked them up in RS.
- @Lamona this analysis seems to demonstrate that the founder meets notability, but on the Caroline Boudreaux page you say she doesn’t meet WP:BASIC. But regarding the foundation, it sounds like the ?s mean you are not sure. Also, you left out the Atlanta Constitution, Christian Science Monitor, and Business World New Delhi references from your analysis. Nnev66 (talk) 11:59, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- Those sources are in her article, not this one. I'm not, however, assuming from this that the article about Beaudreaux should be kept. It would be good to do a similar analysis there. I will do that, because I think it helps us see the big picture. Also, note that this is my analysis and others may have more or different information, so that's worth discussing. Lamona (talk) 15:38, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- Only the Christian Science Monitor reference is in the Boudreaux article. Business World New Delhi is primarily about the foundation and the Atlanta Constitution reference covers both - these aren’t in either article. But given the discussions in both AfD’s I’d encourage us, as Netherzone has, to consider a single article about Miracle Foundation with a section for the founder. While many sources discuss both, taken in total they provide significant coverage. The best argument I’ve read for keeping the Miracle Foundation page is that the founder is mostly notable for it and nothing else and there is quite a bit of information about the foundation from 2007-2023.

- Thanks, I just was discovering that while editing. I'll fix. Lamona (talk) 16:21, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- I've replaced the table. If I've missed anything feel free to add it. Lamona (talk) 16:13, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- I can't get to the New Delhi one through my library - is there a way through the WP library? I can't find it. Thanks. Lamona (talk) 16:29, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- You’re extended confirmed so should be able to access Proquest via the Wikipedia Library: https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/ Nnev66 (talk) 17:05, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hey Lamona, Nnev66, no need, this is a word-for-word copy of the Business World New Delhi article. Same can be found here. Obviously therefore the content is not "independent" - fails WP:ORGIND.

- Delete First off, this article is about an organisation therefore WP:NCORP criteria requires in-depth "independent content" about the *organization* specifically. There's some discussion above about whether the founder is notable and that perhaps a merged article with merged sources can meet the criteria for one or both - that is not how the criteria are applied, one topic cannot "inherit" notability from another. I've looked at all of the articles mentioned above - the table above should really point to WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND since these are the parts of the NCORP guidelines the articles above fail.

- I change SIGCOV to ORGDEPTH - I think that change makes sense. Lamona (talk) 00:06, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
