[edit] States Reorganisation Commission

States Reorganisation Commission (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No assertion of notability; possible copyvio; primary source not suitable for Wikipedia. Contested PROD John 22:10, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion - Since subjects on Indian politics are quite under-represented on Wikipedia, I would suggest that a) the direct cut-and-paste from the report be transwikied to Wikisource (given the date, I doubt if copyright is an issue, and I also doubt that the text is online), and b) that a stub, consisting of the lead and anything else reliable that can be found online, be kept.

  • Weak keep - Has the appearance of notability to me. Per WP:BOLD, I've cut out unencyclopedic content consisting of more than 90% of the article - what appeared to be a cut-and-paste from a Commission report. That leaves the article as a stub. I'd support keeping it in that form and seeing if it grows. Regarding Akradecki's suggestion, I have no objection to moving the source material to Wikisource, but I can't find it anywhere online, so it's difficult to verify. Is it a translation? Who translated it? --Hyperbole 22:49, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Good idea Hyperbole. I nommed it here because I thought it didn't work as a complete document, and without that there is so little there, and without any verifiable references... it's better now, I suppose, but I still can't see it as a viable article unless we could get some kind of source there. Still, good work. --John 00:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep/Merge - I agree with moving the report text to Wikisource. As to the remainer. this page and States Reorganisation Act are about the same subject, with this page being the report that lead to the Act. A review of both article would be good, to determine if two separate articles would be better than one combined article. If two, then some material could be moved from the Act page to the report page. AAt this point, I honestly don't know the best approach to take, as it depends to some extend on how much more material exists that can be added to either page. - BillCJ 01:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
