Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Nomadicghumakkad (talk | contribs) at 11:28, 13 April 2022 (Listing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Koenig Institute.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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.

Fails WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH miserably. Most of the RS hinges on Edward Snowden coming to India to do something here. That's not in-depth of the subject but of them. Also read the language. Campus is 18,000 sqft. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 11:28, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Providing few significant sources of substantial coverage which satisfies WP:CORPDEPTH;
A news article discussing a prolonged controversy
1-Edward Snowden sharpened his hacking skills in Delhi
2-What Was Edward Snowden Doing in India?
A scholarly article, a book passage, or ongoing media coverage focusing on a product or organization
3-Hero or Traitor Edward Snowden and the NSA Spying Program Main case study page, Author: Laura Winig, Case Number: 2018.0
Publication Date: April 30, 2014, Faculty Lead: Christopher Robichaud, Harvard Kennedy School, Hosted:University of Central Florida
A documentary film exploring the impact of the corporation's facilities or products,
4-Significantly covered in Al Jazeera video news Al Jazeera report. RPSkokie (talk) 01:51, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Please describe 'how' the given sources meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Simply listing sources and claiming that they meet CORPDEPTH doesn't have a lot of value. Will be helpful if you can specifically highlight which part of the sources meet CORPDEPTH. TOI is not even counted as a full WP:RS so that's out. Foreignpolicy.com source doesn't have in depth discussion or analysis of Koenig institute. Just a bunch of quotes from spokespersons. Please recall that for CORPDEPTH we need independent analysis, discussion and commentary. Al Jazeera is a generic report that they seem to have filed after this case. No traces of independent discussion of Koenig. In your Harvard source, Koening is mentioned only twice. That's passing mention at best, far away from significant coverage, let alone CORPDEPTH. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 22:03, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I just noted that the description of example of substantial coverage is broken or missing important parts. Right descriptions are A news article discussing a prolonged controversy regarding a corporate merger. And similarly, A documentary film exploring environmental impact of the corporation's facilities or products Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 01:16, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are companies that generate television segments and sell them to broadcasters – this is broadcast syndication. This also happens in printed media and across websites. A syndication company may offer the same story in multiple formats, such as a long and short news article, or the same story with an alternate lead, or a video and a written article. Whatever the length or format, they usually contain the same claims and are written or edited by the same person or team. Syndicated news pieces may be independent of the subject matter, but they are not independent of one another. When considering notability or due weight within an article, all of the related articles by the same publishing syndicate, no matter how widely they were sold, are treated as the same single source.WP:SYNDICATED the whole article is cited from multiple sources and all the sources are syndicated from The Wire's investigative journalism article written by Wire's editors Ayushman Kaul and Devesh Kumar. there are no seperate, independent research by any other source on tek fogDdd421 (talk) 07:46, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While Suryamal Misran is notable, there's no evidence this prize is. Article creator is not inclined to fix the problems in draft space, so we are here. References are not in depth and simply seem to verify a recipient and the award's existence. A merger to Mishran would also be fine Star Mississippi 01:29, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The award is notable. It is one of the top awards in Rajasthan literature conferred by Rajasthani Bhasha Sahitya and Sanskriti Akademi which is the official government body for Rajasthani language by state of Rajasthan. Other than Sahitya Akademi awards for Rajasthani which is Union government body, this is the only other government recognized body.
Since its a Rajasthani language award, its hard to find sources in this language other than news articles when it is conferred on someone.
The official website is "सूर्यमल्ल मीसण शिखर पुरस्कार though its not properly maintained. Finally, it would be better to add it as a section to Suryamal Misran article for now, better sources might be avaialble in future. Krayon95 (talk) 08:26, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - An article should speak for itself and explain why the subject is notable, and this one does not. The read cannot be expected to check all of the references. The article has been reference-bombed, which makes it difficult for a reviewer to check all of the references, but the reviewer should not be expected to check all of the references. (The originator may identify between three and five sources to check, but should also clarify in the article why the award is notable.) Robert McClenon (talk) 17:31, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't start this article originally but translated it from Hindi Wikipedia. Since then, more than 25 sources have been added also referencing the awards for the recipient list. This award was started in 1985 and has been covered in books and news sources:
  1. Dutt, K. C. (1999). Who's who of Indian Writers: 1999 : In 2 Vol. Vol. 1 A-M. Sahitya Akademi. p. 1168. ISBN 978-81-260-0873-5.
  2. Rājasthāna vārshikī (in Hindi). Pañcagaṅgā Prakāśana. 1988. p. 13.
  3. Aṇuvrata (in Hindi). Bālacandra Jaina. 2006. p. 38.
  4. Hindī sāhityakāra sandarbha kośa (in Hindi). Hindī Sāhitya Niketana. 1997. p. 136. ISBN 978-81-85139-29-6.
  5. Kanhaiyālāla Seṭhiyā By Kanhaiyālāla Seṭhiyā, Rādhādevī Bhāloṭiyā, Kanhaiyālāla Ojhā · 1989
These are standard books and also prove the early coverage of the award since its beginning. Again, the award is notable and is one of the top-one for Rajasthani language given by Rajasthan Governement official body. Krayon95 (talk) 15:02, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep Also the sources are mostly in non english languages, there are enough reliable sources provided on the page, although a few are blogs and a couple of exam preparation books which I removed for being not reliable, the rest look pretty good. Since the award is given by the government, government websites are reliable for this, which is what are provided in it. On a cursory glance hindi sources looks good and reliable for such a topic. Even then if notability issue is raised then it can even be merged with Suryamal Misran. Sajaypal007 (talk) 07:11, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This would be fine in DRAFT space, but creator moved in despite @Hatchens:' decline, so we're here. There is no evidence that this school is notable.

  • Delete or Merge - An article should speak for itself and explain why the subject is notable, and this article does not, except as a branch of the university, which has its own article.
    • The originator appears to be trying to game the system by moving the draft into article space after it was rejected, without discussing with the reviewer.
    • The status of other business schools is irrelevant, as other stuff exists, a deprecated argument. (Nominate them for deletion also).

Although this company has produced a few notable films, it does not appear to have received the significant coverage in independent reliable sources needed to meet WP:NCORP. My WP:BEFORE search in English and Kannada found only single-sentence passing mentions, for instance sources that say "The series will be produced by T R Chandrashekar and Crystal Park Cinemas" and nothing more.

The result was delete. The "keep" arguments consist only of assertions that a head of a very large police force is automatically notable, but this view has no basis in our notability guidelines. On the contrary, the community has some time ago deprecated WP:SOLDIER, which used to assume the notability of high-ranking military officers, which hold similar positions. The "delete" side's arguments that there are not enough secondary sources to write an article with remains uncontested. Sandstein 12:32, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A biography of a police officer, who was Director general of police in Punjab. That is the only claim to notability, and I don't think a Director general of police is automatically notable. The sources are overwhelmingly articles and opinions pieces written by him, together with a couple of press releases about his books. The only independent source is this review of one of his books – it is not more than a paragraph, however.

The tone of the article is so promotional that I was tempted to speedy tag it as spam. If the article should be kept after this AfD, it will have to be cut down and thoroughly rewritten. In addition, very little of the biographical information has a source (one wonders where the information in the "Early life and family" section comes from). bonadea contributions talk 15:18, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The head of the police in an Indian state with a population of nearly 28 million is clearly significant enough for an article. Poor article, but enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Being a poor article is not a criterion for deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:46, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm not so sure that being the head of police for a state of large population is a lock for a notability pass. For instance, after checking it's category there doesn't to be an article on a single commissioner of the California Highway Patrol. Some of these refs appear to be self-written and others as simple book listings. Best, GPL93 (talk) 16:09, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • This has been said before, but those who say it completely fail to understand that American policing works completely differently. The California Highway Patrol is merely one police agency among thousands in California. The Punjab Police, however, polices the whole Punjab. The Commissioner of the CHP is not the head of the police in California, but merely the head of one relatively small agency. The DGP of the Punjab is the head of the police in the Punjab. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:13, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Commenting as nominator: I don't know anything about USAnian police systems but I do know what the DNG is (I linked to the article in the nomination, to make sure that other participants in the discussion could check), and I definitely did not mean to imply that the article was nominated because it's in a poor state. I started by trying to clean the article up, and realised that I could not find anything to indicate notability, unless a Director General of Police in an Indian state is inherently notable. Looking at various SNGs I just couldn't find that – but I'm happy to be proven wrong. I disagree about the current sources meeting GNG. --bonadea contributions talk 09:05, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete we just do not have the level of coverage to justify an article on him. Oddly enough, at least in the US, I am suspecting that city level police chiefs are more likely to be notable (well, as in more are notable, the percentage notable will be less, but that is because there are so many more cities), than state police chiefs. I am sure we could create multiple well sourced articles on the heads of police in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles and possibly a few other major cities, I think we would be much more hard pressed to create articles on heads of police for New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan or California.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:20, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Again, as I pointed out above, state police forces in America are generally not especially large and the head of the state police is not head of all policing in the state, but only of their own force which only has limited jurisdiction. Most policing is handled by independent city or county police agencies. This is a fundamental difference between policing in the United States and most other countries (which mostly only have a single national force or sometimes only a single force in each state) which seems to confuse many American editors. This gentleman, on the other hand, directly commands all or almost all police in the entire state of Punjab, a force 80,000 strong (nearly twice the size of the NYPD, America's biggest police agency). That's an enormous difference. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:55, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The gentleman is eminently notable on account of his outstanding work in his professsion-37 years of well recognised service in the IPS( Indian Police Service) which is equivalent to the IP of British times. His stint in the premier investigating agency of Govt of India -CBI- is also notable. His work won public acclaim . His notability is also due to his being an eminent writer contributing more than 115 articles in national Newspapers and having written four books launched by two different Governors of Punjab state. Governors of Indian States don't launch books without first verifying of their worthiness. His books were well received and discussed in the media as referenced . A police officer being also an eminent writer is in itself remarkable and notable. His achievements found wide publicity in Indian media. His professional work in police related to a period prior to November 2006 when he retired from the Indian Police Service. That was not the time of widescale use of internet , at least in India. Hence, searching for notability for such a person by references listed on internet would not be correct. The gentleman created a new benchmark of work ethics ,the same having been recognised by award of various medals including President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service.
Note: I am the creator of the article . Hence, I am putting forward my views this way, as I am blocked on regular channel due to some misunderstanding for which I will appeal 2405:204:3018:C64B:98E1:D68D:4249:1924 (talk) 13:34, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "His achievements found wide publicity in Indian media." - would you be able to provide further sources for that?

I find @Necrothesp's arguments for keeping at the very least noteworthy but I'm struggling to see how to reach sufficient verifiability for this article. Pending further sources - perhaps there is information in Punjabi or some other language that I wouldn't be able to access.
I agree that the article in its current state has severe WP:NPOV and sourcing issues - but as said that isn't particularly relevant to the notability discussion. ObsidianPotato (talk) 23:25, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As a creator of the article, I am answering to concerns of Obsidian Potato, esteemed member of Wikipedia community-
(1) President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service ( known as PPM in short). It was awarded under an order of the President of India on the occasion of Indian Independence Day 1993 (15 August) on the recommendation of Goverment of Punjab and Government of India. The medal as such was, however, presented to the awardee in 1994 , as per practice, in a ceremony  at Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Police Academy , Phillaur ( Punjab) in 1994 at the time of Annual Passing Out Parade , by the then Chief Minister Punjab , Beant Singh, as shown correctly in photo. However, in the heading over the photo, 1994 needs to be changed to 1993 which I will do once I get access.
Since, the award relates to 1993 , it may or may not be verifiable online as it was pre-internet era.
Other awards and achievements are also real; photos of two have been posted . In respect of that at SN 9 ( reward for arrest of dangerous Interpol criminal of Canada ), the copy of the letter can be posted but it has the name of the " dangerous criminal" who after arrest was extradited to Canada where after undergoing 20 years' imprisonment, he was out of jail , and hence can pose danger to the life of the subject of the article, if the name is disclosed.
Other medals are also shown worn by the officer in photo, some of which medals were war time medals of 1971 ( Indo-Pak war of 1971) for duties in areas bordering Pakistan. Some are for duties in the period of terrorism in Punjab ( 1981-1996).
Online verification of these may not be possible as these relate to pre-internet era.
(2) Notability - As already mentioned, the subject of the article was in active service of Indian Police Service(IPS) from 1969-2006, much of which relates to pre-internet era. His works in various capacities including district superintendent of police in two important districts and as DIG, CBI( Govt of India) and later as IG Commando of Punjab State ( 1992-1994, an important period of Punjab terrorism phase ) were reported in newspapers quite often but these related to pre-internet era, and hence online availability of these , in the very nature of things, cannot be expected. "India Today" , a well known national fortnightly magzine of India had carried a several-pages story on Punjab Commando Force during 1992-1994 when the subject was its head as Inspector General of Police , he being the first IG Commando having raised 5 batallions of the force which fought terrorism very successfully . Naturally, online link to the Article in "India Today" would not be available.  Moreover, newspapers in post-internet era have made the online papers a paid service and hence online links to even such news would not be accessible ( without payment). Links obtained by payment would be openable by subscriber only.  This is the limitation in this case. However, reference at SN 5 has his name at number 4 listing some of his achievements (not all).
The subject of the article is a well known figure , now more than 75  years, and after having put in a very notable service in police career for 37 years , has  now turned a writer where he has shown remarkable talent. References are already mentioned.
The notability of the subject ,seen in totality and in correct perspective , is not in doubt. 47.31.96.226 (talk) 05:29, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for a detailed answer. I understand that internet sources might not exist, or might be difficult to find. However, foreign-language sources, subscription-locked sources, as well as paper sources including books and newspapers, are also acceptable (as long as they are published, verifiable and properly quoted).
I recommend you re-read WP:V, WP:RS, and look at derivative policy articles/essays for further advice (e.g. WP:NOTTRUTH). You can also use tools like the Wayback Machine to access internet sites that aren't available anymore. Unfortunately, as per the verifiability policy, this article needs citations, not assertions.

The only WP:RS links in the article are to Tribune; all of which are subject's own columns and are completely useless for this WP:BLP page.

Fails WP:GNG. There are many religious movements and many leaders of religious movements. I aim unable to determine what she is notable for in a Wikipedia sense.

On Wikipedia, the general inclusion threshold is whether the subject is notable enough for at least two people to have written something substantive (more than just a mention) about that subject that has been published in a reliable source.
The article has more than the minimum threshold in both English and Indian sources and so should be retained.
There are many leaders of religious movements but those leaders do not necessarily have references in mainstream media and so would not be eligible for an entry into Wikipedia. ES (talk) 09:01, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I reviewed all the sources mentioned above or in the current version of the article, and it really comes across as trying to make a meal out of condiments. I would categorize the sources as follows:
Wading through all that, I see two pieces that are written with any amount of care: this Hindu article about the book release (though keep in mind that such coverage, at least partly, is a result of the subject's very famous sister and father being present), and this short interview/profile. However I don't think these are detailed or independent enough to establish notability under WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR.
Given that Bhatt's book was published in 2019, which was the impetus for most of the above coverage, I don't think working on the article for a few more weeks will help us locate better sources or develop it further. So Draftification would not help at the moment. Lastly, I believe that the current attempt to blow up thin media coverage into an encyclopedic biographies has resulted in some misrepresentations and undue amplifications that raise BLP-concerns. Examples:
  • This short and trivial "news" item is now immortalized in an encyclpedic entry as "Her father Mahesh Bhatt caused commotion with his language and tone during the launch due to which her sister Alia had to pacify him."
  • Compare the wikipedia article text, "While her father wasnt around much, she did find him to be under the infuence of raging alcoholism." with what the source (ie, Shaheen Bhatt) says, ""My father stopped drinking just days after I was born."
The current article also contains a lot of redundant, repetitious, and undue content but all that is worth dealing with only if the article were to be retained. Abecedare (talk) 21:18, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - An article should speak for itself, and this article does not explain why the web series is notable. It lacks Reception information or any other mention of what third parties have said.
  • Keep the article may not be complete but it is referenced to six full reviews including reliable sources such as The Hindu, New Indian Express and Rolling Stone. Therefore a reception section could easily be written so this a clear pass of WP:GNG in my view, however if sockpuppetry is confirmed in the ongoing case then the article will be G5 deleted.

Initially, the page was moved into the draft by Praxidicae and the creator was advised to submit the draft at AfC. Despite being advised, the page was again moved back to the main namespace by bypassing AfC on the basis of poor interpretation of WP:RS/WP:RSP. Most of the citations (which are claimed to be reliable by the creator) are the interviews/first account quotes given by the subject to the portals. For more details, kindly check 1, 2, 3. The interviews can be used to source a statement of that fact. However, the existence of interviews should not generally be taken as the crux of an argument that the person has passed WP:GNG. If the person is not the subject of sufficient third-party analysis of their significance, then the existence of one or more interview pieces does not clinch them as notable all by itself.

Besides that, the title of the page has been modified by the addition of "choregrapher" as a suffix to bypass protected/blocked Kruti Mahesh which has been protected and requires extended confirmed access. Also, there is a draft existing under the same name; Draft:Kruti Mahesh. There is no doubt, that this page is end-to-end WP:PROMO, backed up by an editor who has WP:UPE/WP:COI. Hence, calling for an AfD discussion. - Hatchens (talk) 08:25, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to say, but it doesn’t make any sense. and I don’t have any previous account so this allegation is baseless. Talking about this choreographer I explained that she has won notable awards. So please check all details. i am talking about this article so if any investigation is on going so it doesn’t mean this choreographer is less notable or non notable. National Film Award, Filmfare awards and IIFA awards are India’s most notable awards. Google would help you if you have any doubts.

Delete: per nom, roles listed in subject's filmography all seem to be minor after IMDb review. Tow (talk) 23:50, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tow Imdb isn’t a reliable source to check his work. He acted as Khanna in the movie Bala.[22] he played as CISF Inspector in the film Bunty Aur Babli 2[23] and as Police man in Flesh.[24] also he played a noted character Mr. Gupta in Chalo Koi Baat Nahi.[25]]. “Shashie Verma, who was seen playing pivotal roles in Shorgul, Bala and Panchayat, will be seen essaying the role of a cop in Swara Bhasker-starrer web series Flesh” mentioned in Tribune India.[26] He passes WP:NACTOR. When you are voting for an afd, you should check everything thoroughly.

IndaneLove (talk) 03:50, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As per your links, he played the role of 'Hair Transplant Doctor' in Bala. I reviewed the other movies & shows as well. I reviewed your sources. I don't see how any of these are significant roles. The roles were not even notable enough to have been listed on the Bunty Aur Babli 2 & Chalo Koi Baat Nahi Wikipedia pages it seems. Tow (talk) 04:16, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tow How can you judge that if he has played a hair transplant doctor then it’s a minor character. Maybe he has appeared in full movie. As Tribune India claimed that he played pivotal roles in Shorgul, Bala and Panchayat. Also check this source for Shorgul he played as Shiva.[27] IndaneLove (talk) 04:34, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know it is minor because he isn't even listed once in the synopsis. Tow (talk) 04:39, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it’s according to you but not as per sources.

Fails WP:NENTERTAINER. While he had a main role on The Tribe (1999 TV series) I don't think that role by itself provides enough notability. A WP:BEFORE search did not bring up anything else significant enough to show he passes WP:GNG. Suonii180 (talk) 10:52, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to The Tribe (1999 TV series). WP:NACTOR requires significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" (emphasis added), and Sundarasen does not meet that standard since, as the article notes, he was a "one-time" actor noted only for his appearance in The Tribe. He does not appear to meet WP:BASIC/the GNG either: my search for coverage found a few passing mentions but nothing more. In cases where an actor is known only for a role in a single program, a redirect to that program's article is often the optimal outcome: it's cheap, and it serves as a useful alternative to deletion, preserving the history and ensuring that readers reach content that is at least somewhat relevant.

  • Keep - as the creator, I acknowledge this isn't the best article. However, I think the sourcing and content is more developed and different enough from previous versions that it meets GNG (see previous discussion on talk page from the PROD). After Pushpa, significant attention has been drawn to Goldmines for there to be enough articles focusing on the company from reliable sources (albeit mostly involving interviews). As for COI, well, I really doubt an article made as the result of COI would have any mention of corruption accusations against the subject. MSG17 (talk) 13:16, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This is a company, so the applicable guideline is WP:NCORP, which specifically says that These criteria, generally, follow the general notability guideline with a stronger emphasis on quality of the sources to prevent gaming of the rules by marketing and public relations professionals.
From the refs in this version - Scroll (31 Jan 2022), Firstpost (8 Feb 2022), IE (8 Feb 2022) are long interviews of the chairman, Manish Shah. They mention very little about the company. The next 3 refs are on corruption investigation at Sony, where again, Manish Shah is discussed briefly and the company is only mentioned as part of his employment status. Of the rest, Indiantelevision.com (whose about page says - Apart from conceiving and executing promotional campaigns targeted at the Media, Marketing & Television Trade online, it also offers similar services offline making clear its reliability) is the parent of TellyChakkar, which even WP:ICTFSOURCES holds unreliable. Journalismguide seems to be nothing more than a blog. Refs 10-12 by Filmfare, BH and IE about Shehzada/Aryan cover some gossip-like issue and are significantly made up of quotes. IE does not even mention the company's name.
Given how majority (9/12) of references are from late-Jan, early Feb 2022 when their movie was released, I cannot see the coverage as being independent or not marketing-driven. Hemantha (talk) 16:36, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for looking at the current version of the article and going into the sources. I think that, while they are interviews, they do go rather in-depth on the company's model and success. Admittedly I couldn't find the best sourcing for some things, and yes there is a lot of mentions rather than major coverage, but I'll look at other sources and see what other people have to say. MSG17 (talk) 22:23, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This subject doesn't meet GNG. Most of the coverage is in unreliable sources and subjective guideline WP:NSINGER isn't met likewise. Though, per WP:REALITYBIO, redirecting this to the article on series is permitted but I'd feel deletion as the better option provided the promotional tone of this article. It had already been redirected (per AfD) in September. The AfD action was undone by Inkbotttt and the work was later on taken care of by Matu11. I smell of UPE and COI around this page.

        There are five sources. Source 1 is from News18 and discusses the subject in some detail but lacks the name of the author, and I won't regard this as a reliable piece. There's nothing significant in Source 2 which routinely says that he has been awarded with some non-notable award. The third source is a significant promo-piece. This one mentions the subject in passing and the last source gives him a passing mention as well. That's to say we have just two sources that discuss him in "some detail" but "their reliability" is ambiguous and these sources do not pass WP:RS and WP:IS in my opinion. ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:58, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep : although news coverage is weak he has won The voice (Indian Version -2015) and Indian Idol (2021) so he meets the WP:MUSICBIO requirements. #9 states "Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition." Zeddedm (talk) 02:18, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Zeddedm, "what-competition"? real or reality show? The Voice isn't anything significant and I don't feel these things bestow any sort of notability to their subjects.

  • How could you not consider that 2 of the biggest Song contest shows in India not to be major awards? and we also do not have policy that says that these shows are not notable. Please note that both have Wiki pages, so it would show some significance. If they had no Wiki pages, you could make the argument that they are unknown awards. I Will stick to my KEEP vote.

The result was delete. An argument has been made that the sourcing is sufficient to pass WP:GNG, but the overall consensus disagrees with that since the coverage is routine news coverage related to elections that Savarkar lost. It is also pointed out that being a family member of someone notable, being an unsuccessful candidate for office, or leading a political movement are insufficient grounds for notability as well. Since the consensus here is well founded in the guidelines, I am closing this discussion accordingly. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:43, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NPOL, Lost elections. Family members of politicians are not notable. Venkat TL (talk) 08:01, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - since it meets WP:GNG. WP:NPOL is for other politicians who may not be independently notable in terms of coverage. I agree with Vanamonde93 below, that Merge would be prolematic. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:07, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Without having examined the coverage in tremendous detail, I'm somewhat opposed to a merge. I believe that if members of a widely studied organization are marginally notable, we're better served by a permastub than a merge; otherwise we risk cluttering the page about the organization with tangentially relevant material. A paragraph of encyclopedic content about Himani Savarkar is likely undue weight at Hindu Mahasabha, but might be worth keeping elsewhere. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @above, What exactly are you suggesting to merge? I am not seeing anything notable that can merit a standalone section, let alone a stub article. If you look into the family tree of any Hindu Mahasabha election candidates, you will find that almost all of them will be related to someone or the other. Its all in the family, Dynasty politics, as they accuse the others. Venkat TL (talk) 15:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The NDTV and Indian Express sources are decidedly borderline, but they aren't nothing. My point is that if this person's not notable, I think we should delete outright; more than a sentence of coverage at the parent article would be undue in my opinion. And your last sentence is unnecessary, VenkatTL. Not a forum, and all that. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:37, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment for now. Sourcing is there for WP:GNG in my opinion, but per the arguments and result at Articles for deletion/Athar Aamir Khan, apparently this kind of coverage by Indian media is suspect, not significant and falls under WP:NOTNEWS.

The fact that some campaign coverage exists is not in and of itself an immediate GNG pass for a non-winning electoral candidate — every candidate in every election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, so we would have to keep an article about everybody who ever ran in any election and lost if that were how it worked. Rather, to get a non-winning candidate into Wikipedia you need to show that either (a) she already had some other claim of preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten her into Wikipedia anyway, or (b) she can credibly claim that her candidacy was somehow of much greater and more enduring significance than the norm for unelected candidates, in some way that would pass the will people still need this article to exist ten years from now test. As written, however, this article isn't really showing either of those things. I'm not an expert in Indian politics by any means, so it's within the realm of possibility that somebody could do a better job of demonstrating that she's notable enough — but as written, this isn't really enough. What might make a difference is writing a lot more about her role with Abhinav Bharat: did she do anything significant or noteworthy in the job to make the article more than just "Himani Savarkar is a person who has a job, so here's an advertorialized puff piece on her prior background"?

    Agree. Really nothing much here. Two lost elections, leadership of a fringe organisatiom, more famous relatives. Nwhyte (talk) 16:25, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I closed this AFD discussion as a Soft Delete but later noticed the very low edit count of the two participants. So, I restored the article and am relisting this AFD, in the hope of getting editors with more experience reviewing articles to participate in this discussion and evaluation of this article.

  • Comment: Here’s one from news: [[29]]

But the nomination is odd: no valid reason for deletion is given - though problems with the article are alleged. Did you try to improve/clean up the article? Springnuts (talk) 23:03, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Springnuts: Per The Logical Indian source you provided I personally think Mr. Ashif Shaikh in that article is completely different one. Correct me if I'm wrong? On Googling I found an Indian actor Aasif Sheikh I personally can't find any proper sources about this person, but you are very old and experienced editor finding to vote this article as Strong Keep I would love to takedown this nomination if you improve this article, I hope it won't take much time as you already have some good indepth references as you said earlier. @@@XyX talk 23:18, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bijoy2020:It appears you are wrong. Did you read the reference? Line 3: "Mr Ashif Shaikh, founder of the Jan Sahas Organisation". The article, line 1: "founder-director of the community and survivor focused non-profit organisation Jan Sahas". Friendly regards,Springnuts (talk) 12:45, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well with respect it’s for you to consider alternatives to deletion (such as cleanup or tagging etc) WP:BEFORE nominating. Springnuts (talk) 04:40, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Springnuts: Not found any valid reason for tagging any tag like cleanup or something; I found less(no) WP:RS or any borderline to consider it for any other tags, I was thinking to tag WP:PROD but later considered to start an AFD. @@@XyX talk 05:06, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have added the "Autobiography cleanup" tag - that's a start. I can't give any more time to this, but the closing editor will need to decide whether WP:TNT is justified. In my opinion it is not, but there we go. That's why we have these discussions and seek consensus. All good wishes, Springnuts (talk) 12:57, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom lacking reliable sources to meet WP:BIO.183.82.108.172 (talk) 22:28, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sources found include: [1]; [2], .. and plenty more; Google "ashif shaikh" "jan sahas" (ie both the terms at the same time) and you get plenty of good results. Springnuts (talk) 06:51, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep For notability, consider these two [1][2] which discuss him significantly and not just his NGO. An op-ed in Hindu - [3] - also discusses his activities at some length, as does a World Economic Forum post[4]. News search shows that a number of publications like Guardian, Reuters, France 24 and SCMP (apart from Indian papers like IE, Hindu etc) have carried his quotes; thus further supporting the notability argument.

  • Keep Sources indicated by Hemantha are enough to demonstrate GNG being met. The article however needs extensive cleanup and should be tagged as such. ─ The Aafī (talk) 10:57, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It looks like an advertisement. Lack of indepth coverage. Fails WP:GNG. Jeni Wolf (talk) 06:24, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
