Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India

Shortcuts

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. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not 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. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

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. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|India|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

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

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to India. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

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.

The crush resulted in reactions by the prime minister and the Minister of Railways announced an investigation. The crush is to a certain extent notable as it also received worldwide news coverage. As it is also 2025 Prayag Maha Kumbh Mela related, the best for now is to merge it into 2025 Prayag Maha Kumbh Mela crowd crush (and probably rename to 2025 Prayag Maha Kumbh Mela crowd crushes). 46.44.158.42 (talk) 09:55, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While the page is snowballing towards delete, I do believe it's notable enough to not be discounted by NOTNEWS. The amount of casualties at 18 is higher than other Indian crowd crush articles (ex. 2024 Mumbai stampede), and with ongoing investigations, I believe we should keep the page around for now. Cheers!

Nomination Becoming the president/general secretary of a political party’s state or national unit does not inherently confer notability. The subject fails the notability test for politicians, and of course WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. No significant coverage is done here, no interesting and important topic other than serving at various party posts is added and hence the article is not presentable to the readers and hence should be deleted.

I expected this could be deleted as a BLP without any valid source. The source: "V. V. Rajendra Kumar" appears to be a personal reference, and not something verifiable. However facts in this should be verifiable, and there are claims of importance. However I cannot find such sources online, perhaps because of not being in English.

Speedy delete, article was recently salted as Seema Midha and Dr. Seema Midha (with added space), and has been recreated under this title to avoid this. IP address has removed speedy deletion notices with false edit summaries.
Comment: This subject has been deleted through 2 previous AFDs and as speedies (see summary at Draft talk:Seema Midha) and the obvious titles are salted, hence the current protection-evading variant. There is also an open SPI. AllyD (talk) 15:05, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AllyD I took it to AFD for a better consensus, also I failed to move it to Draft as a Draft of same name already existed. Taabii (talk) 15:37, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as unambiguous notability failure, and the article has been repeatedly created under various names (note that it includes the honorific "Dr" which is not supposed to be in article titles). I didn't even find any news mentions and a search mostly just returned hits from her own Web site. Titles held do not confer automatic notability and the sourcing is most certainly not there right now. Sources in the article are all her own stuff or not even remotely usable. Either someone is very adamant on getting Midha onto Wikipedia, or there are blatant COI problems. Billclinton1996 (talk) 15:07, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Sources like Financial Express, Times of India, and Hindustan Times (excluding the Mother's Day one, which satisfies WP:RSNOI's dogwhistles for advertorials) clearly satisfy GNG. TOI is (unfortunately) one of the best sources in India, and its concern at RSP is because their paid content's labeling is not immediately obvious; the source cited in the article that features Dynamo does not seem to have the paid disclosure and has clear neutral tone and byline, so I believe it is not an advertorial. I also doubt Bonadea's claim that the awards are not notable. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:50, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Aaron Liu, for your thoughtful assessment. I appreciate your detailed breakdown of the sources. Based on previous feedback, I have worked on improving the article by adding more independent and reliable sources and ensuring a neutral tone to address concerns about notability.

I have now included sources such as Inside Sports India, FirstPostz, Sportskeeda, Hindustan Times, an official X post by the Government, and an official post by the PUBG Mobile YouTube channel. These further establish significant coverage of Dynamo Gaming from reputable media outlets and official sources.

Regarding the awards, I have tried to verify their notability and coverage—if you have any recommendations for strengthening this section, I’d be happy to refine it further. Sarthak14331 (talk) 17:05, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
None of the sources you added help notability. Interviews aren't secondary, InsideSports looks sketchy and has very little information and thus no significant coverage, the government is a good source for that claim but does not provide significant coverage, PUBG mobile has a financial interest in promoting itself and thus isn't really secondary, and SportsKeeda is completely user-generated with little editorial credibility. Aaron Liu (talk) 17:37, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your feedback, Aaron Liu. I understand the concerns regarding the nature of the sources, and I appreciate the clarification on what qualifies as significant coverage.

I will look into adding more independent and in-depth sources that provide substantial coverage rather than just passing mentions or interviews. Based on your concerns, I will remove Sportskeeda and InsideSports as they do not meet Wikipedia's reliability standards. If you have any recommendations for reliable sources that could help establish notability, I’d be grateful for the guidance.

Regarding the government source, while it may not provide significant coverage on its own, it does help verify certain claims. I’ll also review the other sources and see if there are better alternatives that align with Wikipedia’s guidelines on reliable secondary sources.

Thanks again for your time and insights—I’ll work on improving the article accordingly. Sarthak14331 (talk) 17:59, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. MimirIsSmart (talk) 06:59, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your input. However, I have already improved the article by adding better sources and removing weaker ones like Sportskeeda. Additionally, I have fixed the promotional tone and added more reliable sources, including Hindustan Times,Times of India, IGN India, Financial Express, FirstPost, an official government X post have been included. If you believe the article still lacks notability, I would appreciate any guidance on additional sources that could help establish it. Sarthak14331 (talk) 09:21, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why you claim that you removed the Sportskeeda sources or why you seem to still think you added sources that establish notability. In fact this all seems like RefBombing. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:55, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for the confusion regarding the removal of the Sportskeeda reference. Upon reviewing the edit history, I see that you were the one who removed it, not me. I misspoke earlier, and I appreciate you pointing that out. Thank you for catching that.

Regarding Dynamo Gaming, I believe it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines due to its significant presence in the esports community and the Indian gaming industry. It has been covered by reliable, independent sources that highlight its achievements and impact.

Thank you for bringing up the concern about refbombing. I want to clarify that my intention was not to overwhelm the article with references but to provide sufficient evidence of Dynamo Gaming's notability. Each reference I included is from a reliable, independent source and directly supports the content in the article. If any of the references seem excessive or unnecessary, I’d be happy to review and adjust them. I’m open to your feedback and would appreciate any suggestions on how to improve the sourcing further.

Strongly oppose Considering the history from 2007, it is inevitable that the season will happen. It's not 2 years later to be too soon. It is 2026, literally 1 year left. FIFA and world cups also shouldn't have an article from now if going by yours. It's pointless to make it a redirect too. Just let it be in its present stage.

I've cut the articles down to comment out any empty tables, playoff brackets etc... Then I've focused the rest on the speculative nature. I certainly don't think it's legitimate to say at this point that the same ten teams will compete in 2026, let alone 2027. It's likely, sure, but IPL teams have been suspended or folded in the past and expansions have happened. For some reason the number of games in 2027 was given as 94, ten more than in 2026. I don't know why as the information in the article suggested the format would be the same. The statement that not many personnel changes can be expected is clearly massively speculative at best as well. When you cut these down there's not a lot left. We should probably redirect the articles to the core IPL article for now and keep a watching brief. I'd be happy to establish as a way forward that articles be created a month prior to the auction date for the next year's tournament, but they need to not be full of empty tables and so on until there is anything to add to them. Blue Square Thing (talk) 17:31, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's also worth pointing out that a) the start date for the 2025 season changed in 13 Feb 25 - despite out article stating that it would defiitely start on a different date; b) if this is deleted it will simply end up being re-created very quickly Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:10, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I find it hard to assess notability of recent Indian topics, per WP:NEWSORGINDIA. As far as this book is concerned, I would think it possible that the original text by Achyutananda Dasa could be notable, or at least worth including information about it in the article about him (though I note that article says that he "wrote numerous books, many of which could be loosely translated as the Book of Prophecies"). Trying to assess the refs in this article: (1) is a video, so inaccessible to anyone who does not know Hindi; (2) is unreliable (at the end is "Disclaimer. The above information is based on various sources. Webdunia does not officially confirm it." It does not mention the 2023 book, just the text by Achyutananda Dasa. (3) does not mention the 2023 book either. (4) does say it's a review of Bhavishya Malika Puran translated into Hindi language by Pandit Shri Kashinath Mishra in 2023, but just repeats the same summary of the predictions as other refs do. (5) does not mention the 2023 book either. (10) in English is by someone who says "I am enthusiastic blogger & SEO expert." Probably not reliable, but does end the review by saying "Bhavishya Malika’s Authenticity: Some people are not sure if the Bhavishya Malika is genuine. We don’t really know where it came from or who wrote it, and some experts think it might be a more recent creation. Different Interpretations: The things written in the Bhavishya Malika can be understood in different ways. So, people might read the same text and come up with different predictions. Accuracy of Predictions: There’s no scientific proof that the predictions in the Bhavishya Malika are correct. It’s impossible to predict the future with complete certainty." This review also has a summary of positive and negative predictions in the book. If this article is kept, it should include information about the book's reception and critiques of it, not just repeat its predictions. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:16, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Difference defined The book supports unreliable sources. In my opinion, it is surely a religious pseudo-scientific book written by Achyutananda Dasa and it is wrongly translated by Mr. Kashinath Mishra. Even though I am from Indian state Odisha and worship Sri Achyutananda ji, I will call it a pseudo-scientific book. The Srimad Bhavishya Malika and it wrongly translated version Bhavisya Malika Purana should be differentiated. Regards,Ved Sharma (talk) (contribs) 12:52, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Viraj Bahl

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article does not meet WP:GNG as the sources mainly focus on the subject interviews and statements, without providing significant coverage. Majority of cited sources focus on Viraj Bahl company growth (revenue & product launches) rather than his personal notability as an individual. Refs (India.com, TimesNowNews, DNA India) lack depth or are promotional in tone. Coverage in outlets ( Inc42 and ET Retail ) primarily discuss Veeba as a company, not Viraj Bahl individual legacy or influence beyond his role as founder. While his role as a judge on Shark Tank India(2024) adds to his public profile, this is recent and may not yet be supported by independent sourcing to confirm lasting notability failing WP:NBLP and many of the sources here are exactly what WP:NEWSORGINDIA tells us to watchout for.

The nominator is correct that rationale of HMJ Navin Chawla deletion logic should be followed for consistency.

OPPOSE: The second link is a word to word copy paste from the hon'ble judge's official CV on the Delhi High Court website (so irrelevant). The first link is a routine listing because the "roster" of the Delhi High Court changes every 6 months, and in 2024 the hon'ble judge was routinely assigned IP cases, as was also the other judge named. The Delhi High Court decides most of the complex IP cases of India, so this is a busman award for driving busses.

Keep She meets WP:NJUDGE as a member of the Delhi High Court: "The Judges of High Court of Delhi (other than the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court) are appointed by the President by warrant under his hand and seal after consultation with the Chief Justice of India, and on the recommendation of the Chief Justice of the High Court of Delhi." RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:24, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT: That is only in theory. In practice judges are either elevated from the Delhi Higher Judicial Services after serving as District judges, or handpicked lawyers are discreetly approached to be additional judges of the court. The actual decision is taken by a 5 member collegium of Supreme Court judges in an opaque and discretionary fashion involving horse trading, favouritism and nepotism. The President of India is a rubber stamp (unlike the US of A's). So IMHO Wikipedia can either have well researched articles on all judges of all High Courts or none. These random kind of stubby articles are akin to waving a red rag for bulls. अधिवक्ता संतोष (talk) 18:50, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Over half the sources cited onpage are self published (directly or indirectly) primary sources. There is no significant coverage independent of the judgments she delivers routinely as a working judge. Nothing in the article (as it stands currently) shows anything extraordinary or especially notable about this judge compared to her brother judge HMJ Navin Chawla whose very similar article was voted to be deleted. WP:NJUDGE by itself does not confer notability, it is merely an initial screening filter to weed out lesser judges, notability has to be established by significant independent coverage from reliable sources. Lastly by having articles about persons who possess power to threaten the encyclopedia you run the risk of justifying hugely problematic sentences like "She became the Senior Advocate in 2011" अधिवक्ता संतोष (talk) 18:08, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : per the nominator and those others suggesting deletion. The article falls quite short of meeting Wikipedia’s notability criteria primarily outlined in WP:BASIC. Being a secondary criteria WP:JUDGE, being cited blandly by the keep faction, is not a stand-alone presumption of notability. Judges of India's High Courts do not automatically meet the basic criteria of being public figures, since as mentioned by nom, Indian judges are barred from publicity. I find the primary source references to mainly focus on her appointment and routine professional responsibilities, hence not meeting standards for reliable sourcing (eg. WP:SIRS). As already mentioned, the article does not highlight any extraordinary achievements or contributions that set her apart from other judges, including those at the same court. It is also noteworthy that another judge's (Navin Chawla) very similar article was likewise deleted for lack of significant independent coverage as also for a lack of distinguishing features.

Even if we consider the minimum criteria under WP:THREE, the subject still meets the notability guidelines. Baqi:) (talk) 13:53, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I looked at the articles in the sources mentioned by user Jannatulbaqi. Besides their questionable reliability is the fact that none of them constitute significant coverage as WP defines it. One article named three people from the city that were going to the Kudo World Cup, one was clearly a PR release naming four Kudo athletes that had been appointed as income tax officers, one mentioned Khan had attended a public school Kudo tournament as a guest, and one was entirely an interview. Several others I couldn't access. Most of his championships appear to be in youth divisions which don't show WP notability. I couldn't find info on his 2017 world championship (would again not have been as an adult). The Kudo International Federation (KIF) did not hold any world championships in 2017, though they did have a youth championship in 2018. No Indian athletes are listed [8] and no division appears to have had more than 2 entries. The 2023 world championships the article mentions do list the top 4 in each division, but there's no mention of any Indian athlete.[9] According to fightmatrix he has competed in MMA, where he has lost more fights than he's won and is currently ranked #341. I don't see anything that shows he meets WP:ANYBIO, WP:NSPORT, WP:GNG, WP:NMMA, or any other WP notability criteria. If additional relevant information is found, please let me know.

Keep, I don't know about nominator but this seems to be satisfying WP:GNG completely.Adamantine123 (talk) 15:16, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Adamantine123, would you please tell us exactly which sources meet WP:GNG? I have already commented on a number of the sources claimed to show WP notability, so I am interested in which ones you consider reliable, independent, and significant.Papaursa (talk) 00:58, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Subject is ranked over top 300 in the world in MMA as mentioned by Papaursa, completely fails WP:MMA. The sport of Kudo doesn't have any established notability guidelines therefore we have to establish WP:SIGCOV or WP:GNG, which it isn't. The article is written in an incredibly non-encyclopedic way, imo blatant vanity page with potential WP:COI. Lekkha Moun (talk) 14:04, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify: When I created this article, I believed that the sources I used were entirely reliable. However, after the admin Significa Liberdade edited the article, they removed all unreliable sources, for which I sincerely appreciate their efforts. [10]The subject is an author, and to be honest, I also struggled to find completely reliable sources. Therefore, I have decided to draft the article so that I can take the time to find better sources. Baqi:) (talk) 17:59, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The references in the article currently consist of routine coverage (WP:ROUTINE), which is typically found in Indian media (WP:NEWSORGINDIA). Apart from that, the article entirely fails to meet the WP:NCORP guidelines. Baqi:) (talk) 09:05, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewed all sources and what I found are press releases, primary sources and passing mentions of the company. As of the time of nomination, sources number one to 8 are mostly press releases, and from number 9 to 19 are mostly primary sources. The few ones that look reliable are not enough to meet WP:GNG or WP:NBASIC. Mekomo (talk) 08:19, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. Indian media sources should be viewed carefully, as they often present press releases as news WP:RSNOI, WP:ROUTINE. TC-BT-1C-SI (talk) 09:49, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep: While the article doesn't have good references, the company definitely satisfies WP:CORP. There are a lot more recent articles about the company like [12], [13] and [14]. This company is one of a handful of companies to achieve Unicorn status in India in 2024, and, as a result, has definitely received significant coverage in reputed independent newspapers. It has recently acquired another company, which has led to further coverage on it. It has articles specifically written about it from reputed agencies, even before its Unicorn status, which satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. These include The Hindu, CNBC, Economic Times, and Money Control. There are also articles talking about the company on Indian Express, Inc42, Zee Business, Deccan Chronicle, and others; and, this company has one of India's most popular celebrity actors as a brand ambassador.

Keep: I reviewed all the sources and also found that many links are PR-type links, as pointed out by Mekomo. But it looks like this company recently published a lot of news in notable sources, which are reliable and sufficient to meet the WP:NBASIC and WP:ORGIND criteria as mentioned by Shashwat986. The most recent coverage includes its transition to Unicorn status in 2024, FY24 revenue, and the acquisition of the fintech startup Jify, all reported by reputable independent newschannels.
