[edit] Save Indian Family

Save Indian Family (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links)

Per Talk:Save_Indian_Family#Article_orginally_submitted_as_part_of_MyWikiBiz_paid_PR_blitz, this article was a MyWikiBiz creation. Its tone is that of an advertisement and its sources are unreliable. Durova^Charge! 04:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but cleanup:The article is horrible, but the subject is noteworthy enough to warrant an article. The sources are definitely reliable, such as CNN and Indian Express, both notable news sources.However, POV cleanup is needed.Hkelkar 04:58, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, the "CNN" source actually looks like the IBN part of CNN-IBN, which is not quite the same as CNN. Bwithh 05:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete unless authoritative sources showing encyclopedic notability of this organization (not the issues) can be found. At the moment, there is no substantive evidence or even claim in the article or in sources provided for encyclopedic notability. Coverage by news sources, even mainstream channels with international profile, does not automatically translate to encyclopedic notability. Authoritative sources need to be provided showing that this is an organization of substantive scope and base that actually is a social movement, not just that a group of people have formed a society which relates to a set of notable issues. At the moment the article is just a soapbox for this organization's issues, and does not show the encyclopedic notability of the organization itself. Bwithh 05:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Even if notability of organization is not proven, the Indian men's movement could be mentioned in the article Men's rights which seems to be US-centric at the moment Bwithh 05:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. No encyclopedic notability whatsoever. Crabapplecove 00:44, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but cleanup:The subject is extremely relevant, though the article needs some refinement and objectivity. India is currently debating the new Domestic Violence Prevention legislation and such topics definitely provide a prespective. The article explores the plight of an abused minority whose existence is ignored by the mainstream Indian society.

• Keep but rewrite- as per Landoflakes. Nileena joseph ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 16:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete editors who have contributed might want to author some information into other general domestic violence related articles. •Elomis• 03:14, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I'd like to see greater objectivity, but the group appears genuine and moderately well-known in India. WMMartin 18:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Enough of pandering to Femofascism's & the 'Liberal' (sic!) Mafia's censorship of opposition to their criminality and misandry, whether VAWA or the DVA. My Wikidness 13:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
