Restoration of Monday Morning (newsletter) page[edit]
Dear Wiki editors,
this is a really unacceptable outcome of the merger discussion on the Talk:National Institute of Technology, Rourkela page. First of all, a consensus wasn't reached. After days of discussion, some random user Compassionate727 just decides to merge Monday Morning (newsletter) into National Institute of Technology, Rourkela. The reasons cited for this are also absurd. First of all, just look at all the stubs on Wikipedia, without any sources. This article (before the merger) was way better. Second, though Monday Morning is a college newsletter, it is independent. Inclusion with the NIT Rourkela page is just not acceptable as it creates a wrong perception of the newsletter being run by the college administration instead of being the independent student-run newsletter and media body that it is. It makes no sense to prune content that has more sources than many other articles on Wikipedia. In addition to that, all major sections of the article were supported by substantial proof in the form of pictures of events that actually happened in the institute. I request you to restore the page and undo the merger. I can show many more articles that have no sources. This one has 2 SIGCOVs along with other sources and yet it's merged. I repeat, it makes no sense to have articles on Wiki with 0 sources and to merge this article which has multiple reliable and Significant Coverage ones.

There was a fairly clear consensus to my mind (including one editor who initially opposed the merge switching to supporting it). On the points about other stubs and other articles lacking sources, please see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists, and do consider nominating them for deletion or merging if you feel they don't meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria.

Parzival221B, I disagree with editors' application of our rules in this case, but Compassionate727 correctly assessed the local consensus at the talk page, so it's time to move on. My suggestion at this point would be to wait. If additional information about Monday Morning is published in a reliable source sometime in the future, that will nullify much of the past discussion and you can try restoring the page. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 00:03, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I hold both of you in high regard and hence accept the consensus that was reached in the discussion. Parzival221B (talk) 03:52, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes indeed - if more independent coverage emerges, that would strengthen the case for having a dedicated article. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:00, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
