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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

fails WP:NACTOR. Theroadislong (talk) 07:52, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
A Google knowledge panel does not mean anything in terms of notability at Wikipedia. --bonadea contributions talk 08:12, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    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.

The article fails WP:Notability requirements, especially WP:1E and WP:BLP1E.

it fails to demonstrate notability through independent, reliable sources, relying instead on press releases and affiliated content. Its promotional tone and lack of in-depth third-party coverage make it unsuitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Xrimonciam (talk) 08:32, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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?
I'm eager to improve the article and would appreciate any specific suggestions you can offer to help bring it in line with Wikipedia's expectations. Mahendra2601 (talk) 13:32, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    More sources likely to exist in Hindi; is there a translation of his name? Curbon7 (talk) 11:29, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    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.

    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.

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 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)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]

All the above references provided by MCE89 are self published. We need in-depth coverage in reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. If you have such citations please provide, i would be more happy to withdrawn my nomination. Bakhtar40 (talk) 06:08, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? They’re clearly not self-published. All of the sources I linked above are book reviews in peer-reviewed academic journals (and one in a newspaper). Which is exactly what is required to pass WP:NAUTHOR. Can you explain what you mean by these sources being self-published? MCE89 (talk) 07:15, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the above analysis. Andre🚐 03:07, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Bakhtar40, I'm not sure what you are trying to get at. To add to MCE89's comment, and to expand on my keep rationale, I do not think that the subject can be considered notable under WP:GNG, for which at least three decent sources are necessary, as you say. However, I do think that the subject can be considered notable under the subject-specific notability guidelines for authors, which saysSuch 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.... In this case, the four books in Selected publications are thesignificant...body of work, and the references against each are theindependent peridiodical articles or reviews; MCE89 has also provided some additional reviews.

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 revenue targets, profit/financial reporting, turnover news, capacity expansion news etc., are merely routine coverage WP:ROUTINE, regardless of where they are published.

  • Delete I cannot find coverage outside of routine business news updates that tend to be wire-style. I would agree that PDF reports from analysts are not reliable even if they are in depth as analysts often have a hidden agenda to convince people to pump or short stocks.Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 23:38, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No significant coverage on sources as a film series; nor for a third film, which seems to be WP:CRYSTAL speculation at this point. Vestrian24Bio 10:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Franchise includes Lucifer (2019) and L2: Empuraan (2025), two of the highest-grossing Malayalam film series, with significant coverage in dependable sources. Meets WP:NFILM as well through substantial coverage in reliable, independent sources, such as reviews and box-office analyses for Lucifer and promotional coverage for L2: Empuraan in outlets like Times of India and Indian Express. 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. I guess you would argue the third film, L3: The Beginning. A source could be added about production information or a release date. Though, I'm still voting to keep this article. Editz2341231 (talk) 23:14, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject doesn't seem to be notable enough to warrant its own article. I feel like the subject isn't notable, and even if it was, it would likely be a case of WP:BLP1E. For example, the People and USA Today article are solid to establish notability, but with one catch - that's only about the founder starting the nonprofit. There's no sustained coverage aside from that. WormEater13 (talkcontribs) 23:10, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Keep- changing my !vote to Delete after the excellent source analysis provided by Lamona, and the commentary by HighKing. meets GNG and NCORP per these fully independent, secondary reliable sources found in Newspapers.com (access required) that provide significant coverage over a period of years (over ten years of coverage!): [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], and more. Netherzone (talk) 16:33, 2 May 2025 (UTC) !vote changed from K to D. Netherzone (talk) 22:22, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    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)[reply]
    WP:WHYN statesWe 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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    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. Nnev66 (talk) 19:38, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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. Nnev66 (talk) 16:07, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I just was discovering that while editing. I'll fix. Lamona (talk) 16:21, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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. HighKing++ 19:54, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I change SIGCOV to ORGDEPTH - I think that change makes sense. Lamona (talk) 00:06, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
