[edit] Sarai (new media initiative)

Sarai (new media initiative) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Deleted via prod back in August 2006. Deleting admin asked for a restore in March, didn't reply. Contested at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Contested prod. I've restored, automatically, but I don't see any evidence that this is notable. On the other hand, after 9 more months, maybe it can be salvaged. So is this something we should have an article on? I offer no opinion myself. GRBerry 01:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete or endorse deletion The proposed deletion was appropriate. Thae subject does not seem notable, and does not strike me as anything I'd like to learn about. YechielMan 22:03, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I strongly endorse the retention of the page on the Sarai progamme at CSDS. This is a page in progress and appropriate sources will be added soon. Sarai is one of the most important projects that synthesizes a research commtiment to media, urban space, technology and society, and is extremely relevant in the global as well as south asian context. The Sarai Readers have a strong and growing international reputation. You only need to google Sarai-CSDS to see how many entries, and how many different kinds of activities happen there.

While I agree with the criticism of the article in its present form, people are working on bringing it up to Wikipedia standards. Sarai is an experiment unique at least to India, and has strong ties to the world of free software, open sharing of content, and, in my opinion, information on the institution should be listed here.
