Article for deletion requiring attention

The article Pandit Jasraj has been proposed for deletion, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. -Ninney (talk) 15:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've been working on adding sources and improving it. Please do take a look, feedback and help welcomed. Rasdhar (talk) 14:41, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding WP:INDICSCRIPT

Does WP:INDICSCRIPT apply to motto field of {{infobox university}} or only to the native name field? --Muhandes (talk) 15:28, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a non-English motto on the English-language Wikipedia is not terribly useful to most readers. Is there no English translation? I certainly think the guideline should apply, and for the same reasons as it applies elsewhere. - Sitush (talk) 15:33, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Social reformers of India

Is Social reformers of India retrievable? A quick glance suggests it is a massive series of unattributed copy/pastes from linked articles. - Sitush (talk) 18:28, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like a copyvio/OR mess to me. It's not complete copypasta though so tracing content and stapling 'copied templates' to the talk page is out of the question. Perhaps thinning it down to just article links then redirecting it to 'List of Social Reformers of India' would work. I'm thinking something like this. Or to be less deletionist the only other solution i can think of is rewording all of the prose and referencing it. I suppose the defining question is do we really need a repetition of article ledes or would a basic list of links suffice? Cesdeva (talk) 03:36, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I, too, was thinking that the best we could do is convert it to a simply list. I'm not even sure how to define "social reformer", though. - Sitush (talk) 06:32, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have left a note here and contacted a revdel specialist. It will probably be reverted to the 2010 list before today is done. - Sitush (talk) 07:55, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
nice one, thanks for the update. I imagine defining subcategories within social reform allows easier definition. For instance 'the dissolution of the caste system', 'forging an independent India', 'reform of prison conditions', 'women's rights', 'campaigners for the right to healthcare and other municipal facilities'. Once there are decent examples for subcategories then new proposals can be judged against those. Otherwise half of notable Indians would probably get added as social reformers. Cesdeva (talk) 11:25, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly - the term is too loose by far and practically every politician, for example, has been called a social reformer by someone or another. - Sitush (talk) 11:30, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Luckily we only have to worry about the weight of the reliable sources. The scope of the term 'social reform' can be left to newspaper editors etc...Cesdeva (talk) 21:29, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

K. Dutta

Hi all, I recently declined a speedy deletion nomination for Ketaki Dutta. I am fairly sure the subject warrants inclusion, but the article needs referencing. Any help appreciated. Regards, decltype (talk) 11:00, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some structure to the article and a reference. I also removed some copyvio and I suspect there is more. Didn't copyright crop up at AfD given the zero references? Cesdeva (talk) 23:20, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. The article was only reviewed for speedy deletion, not a full AfD. Good job locating and removing the infringing text though. Regards, decltype (talk) 08:14, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Decltype for the heads-up about the article. Please keep sending them our way. Kind regards Cesdeva (talk) 10:02, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicated article

We have a duplicated article for a politician - see the merge proposal at Talk:Thummala_Nageshwar_Rao#Proposed_merge_with_Thummala_Nageswara_Rao. I'm unsure which title should be used. - Sitush (talk) 11:13, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think it depends on which language you are trying to use. if it is Telegu/Kannada then "Nageshwara" and if it is from "Tamil" perspective then it should be "Nageswara" ,But I think he himself is using "Nageswara" so would suggest this Shrikanthv (talk) 12:26, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Shrikanthv. I can see it would be a transliteration issue. Any chance you could comment in the merge discussion? My note here was mainly to get people to go there in order to resolve the issue. Thanks again. - Sitush (talk) 12:39, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

TeamIndus

This article needs attention. It will be big news in December 2017 as they are going to launch lunar rover on moon. So better rewritten and improved now. --Nizil (talk) 04:49, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first need I see there is for the article to be trimmed down to no more than a couple of paragraphs. There are very few reliable sources that mention the organization. Whether or not it will become famous in December 2017 is for the RS to report. Best regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 14:42, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think it needs to be deleted as a mash-up copyright violation. Failing that, someone needs to write a few sourced sentences as a stub and then everything before that should be revdel'd. - Sitush (talk) 17:50, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Naresh Sharma

Hi, I am reviewing Draft:Naresh Sharma at AfC. This person appears to meet WP:POLITICIAN but is lacking good references, and I am struggling to find more. I would welcome comments from people with knowledge of the subject, and help finding references. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:19, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've found a passing mention here (2nd paragraph) about a 'Naresh Sharma', brother of Mahesh Sharma of the BJP. Is this the right guy? Cesdeva (talk) 21:09, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
