• Weak keep. The DAE in question seems to be the Indian Department of Atomic energy, and it seems that this is an all-national event for the departments employees with a 17 year tradition. Borderline notable, in my book. Zocky | picture popups 20:11, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment The original author (User:Rajiv13) sent me the following by e-mail. It is relevant, so I'm forwarding it to this AfD vote, copied below: --_└ ^Smith120bh/_TALK ^┐ 04:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

1.My emphasis was to explain the word GiriSanchar and context in which it is being used.

2.The lack of google hits is very obvious as the net accessibility is still limited in India.

3.But I have no intention to advertise it. Because no body other than employee of department can take part. [And getting permission to go for Girisanchar is very difficult, I got permission after 12 years of serving the deptt]

4.DAE is Dept.of Atomic Energy in India and BARC is Bhabha Atomic Research Centre([[1]])

5.These unescorted treks are done by each group 20-25 persons each of and only help is white arrow marks created by pilot trekker(s).

• Weak keep or merge - In response to the above reply I received, I am changing my vote from an abstain to a weak keep. It is an official event involving government groups. If not keep, perhaps finally create a stub for India's Department of Atomic Energy and add this as a section. There are a number of sub-groups of the DAE that have articles (e.g. Centre for Advanced Technology), but the DAE itself does not. --_└ ^Smith120bh/_TALK ^┐ 04:27, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I think it's notable based on Smith120bh's comments above. -- Samir ∙ ^T_C 01:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
