AfD: Today, Yesterday

edit · changes

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to India. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.

You can help maintain the list on this page:

To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You can also tag the AfD by adding

{{subst:delsort|India}}<small>—~~~~</small>

to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to India.

Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page.

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia

Relevant archived discussions (starting from September 2007) may be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India/archive.

[edit] India

[edit] Grihasree

Seems to have been an effort at advertising. Website is dead. No notability proven. --Thetrick (talk) 19:23, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] B.P. Road

Non notable street SGGH ^speak! 13:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Delete per lack of information why this street is notable.--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 13:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Neutral though there is lack of information about this road, this is a notable road in major parts of india and has several major business establishments. The article if improved within the stipulated time can have its place on Wikipedia else there is no other choice but to delete this until there is proper citations and information regarding the road. Kalivd (talk) 14:24, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sri Rama Yogi

No evidence of notability of this person provided. No sources listed. You could make the argument that being a "spiritual giant" is a claim of notability, so I'm not going to try to speedy delete it. Anon editors have repeatedly made this article a travesty of NPOV. Failed PROD. eaolson (talk) 23:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment I've removed the copyvio/advert text from the article. No opinion (yet) on deletion.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
delete you shouldn't have as it is obviously an advertisement, it is patent original research highly bias, not verified, not notable, doesn't even claim notability, horribly formatted, its junk.Myheartinchile (talk) 00:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Delete. It's written like an advertisement, its claims of notability are questionable at best, and it has no sources. Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 01:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Delete as WP:SPAM If ever there was a article which is spam this is it. It even gives a phone number to contact the subject. Artene50 (talk) 02:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Delete I've removed personal information that shouldn't have been in the article in the first place. It is an advertisement and/or non-notable bio and should be deleted. Whomever included the personal information needs to be made aware that it is against policy/guidelines as well. Jasynnash2 (talk) 08:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Delete and Speedy too An anonymous IP, which just happens to edit on this article, reverted Jaynash2's actions and tried to keep the reference to the phone number here It was countered by another user but this article gives me a bad feeling. I wonder if it will 'pop up' again. Artene50 (talk) 23:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Satwant Kaur Dogra

Seemingly autobiographical article on a non-notable politician. I was unable to find any sources on the subject apart from a single story in a local paper. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 19:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Delete. Non-notable local politician.--Regents Park (roll amongst the roses) 20:37, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Delete. Non notable, as above. Created by User:Satwantkaurdogra so quite possibly a vanity article. Rehevkor (talk) 21:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Delete Unless referenced Looks like non notable. OK if referenced properly with reliable and verifiable sources -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 02:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Week Keep in the event of references add. The article needs a cleanup,wikify and more material -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 13:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletion discussions. —-- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 04:49, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Keep a state level politician is not a local politician, and we even have lots of articles on those politicians at that. But we desperately need to verification so that we can verify the notability asserted therein.Myheartinchile (talk) 08:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment: Can your provide us with possible references ? Googling apparently gave Nil results -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 10:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Strong Delete. Non notable, unsourced. Bidgee (talk) 10:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. Article needs more work on sources and cleaned up as per WP:BIO. Bidgee (talk) 14:00, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
~~Week keep~~. I think the references I've put in the article just about do the job by giving coverage of the subject and confirming the positions held by her. These are not local papers as claimed by the nominator. They are newspapers that cover a state with a population of 10 million. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:59, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I meant "local" as opposed to "national"; I couldn't even find circulation figures in the paper's website. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather see an article improved than deleted any day—otherwise I would have PRODded it or brought it to AfD sooner—but I am still not convinced that this constitutes "significant coverage". Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Some cleanup done by me... (Diff) I leave the article to 'fate' ;) -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 13:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

comment, state/provincial-level politicians don't need significant coverage, its significant that she was even elected, just as any state senator or assembly person in any American state is notable by default. Now on top of that is quite clear that she also has plenty of non-trivial news coverage in multiple reliable sources i.e. newspapers.Myheartinchile (talk) 19:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment. There is no claim in the article that she is a member of an elected assembly, just that she is a leader of a political party (with no indication of the level at which she is a leader), a local trade union organisation and a state-wide NGO. Maybe some US editors are getting a bit confused here; in an Indian context "Congress" is a political party, not a legislature. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

When I nominated the article, I couldn't verify that she was indeed an elected state-level politician, and I still haven't found Ms. Dogra in the Election Commission of India's lists of successful candidates for recent J&K elections. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Delete. I've changed my mind. When I saw the references in state-wide newspapers referring to her as a "senior Congress leader" I assumed that that meant she was one of the top party leaders at the state level. I've now found this official list of the 144 state comittee members and she's not on it, and she also isn't on the list of district presidents. Whatever post she holds in the Congress Party must be much more junior than the newspaper articles imply. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shahnaz Husain

Wording reads like a public relations puff piece and primarily deals with a companies products and marketing, not a bibliography. The cut-and-pasting of the web page [1] that until recently appeared in the article has been deleted.

Comment Added missing afd notification to article Duffbeerforme (talk) 13:38, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Keep. The nominator has only given reasons for editing, not for deletion. The article is sourced and, as I said when I removed the prod tag, there are loads more sources at Google News and Google Books that show clear notability. The very first book hit has a section entitled Shahnaz Husain: World's Greatest Woman Entrepreneur.[2] Phil Bridger (talk) 14:24, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Keep Shahnaz is a well know woman entrpreneur and her products and boutiques do quite well. Not some small town shop owner. Besides she is a Padma Shri recipient. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 14:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Strong Keep: Well known person in India -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 04:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
