Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Goa

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Goa. 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|Goa|~~~~}} 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 Goa. 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 India.

Startups in Goa

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

This article covers a combination of different topics, none of which warrant their own article. The article reads like a news report and isn't properly cited. There's a quotation about "reliable internet providers", but the source itself has nothing to do with internet providers or startups. HyperAccelerated (talk) 02:27, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Business, Economics, Technology, and Goa. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:18, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citations taken are from credible sources. This is an important issue, more so from the perspective of an Indian Wikipedia reader, and if there are any shortcomings, I feel the page could be improved, rather than censor the same. Fredericknoronha (talk) 03:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Noting that this is the article creator, so words like "important" are from an obviously slanted perspective. An AfD isn't censorship. You've had more than five and a half years to improve this article. HyperAccelerated (talk) 03:28, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Fredrick. Lets improve the page with the citations and sources instead of deleting it. Jervisap (talk) 05:32, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. It would be helpful to get an assessment on content added to the article since its nomination.

Delete per nom. The newly added cites do not add into the cause of keep significantly. Also Times of India is not reliable per WP:TOI and the other added sources got a very promotional tone. From 'an Indian Wikipedia reader's view', the page is a collection of random topics and hence, do not warrant a standalone article currently. Another note to the closer: Jervisap sounds WP:MEAT for Fredrick after having a look at their contributions and userpage. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 05:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I do not see evidence that this topic (if it is even well-defined enough to be called a "topic," rather than an amalgam of "startups" and "Goa") meets the GNG. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:27, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
