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|Sikkim|~~~~}} 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 Sikkim. 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.

Article about a non-notable businessperson that doesnt meet WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. News sources are regular WP:PROMO. Jamiebuba (talk) 08:52, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Businesspeople, and India. Jamiebuba (talk) 08:52, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Honestly, I think there’s just about enough notability for it to be kept. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 11:31, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
ScrabbleTiles, can you elaborate on "just about enough notability"? How did you come to this conclusion? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 11:46, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He has coverage in Forbes and has won an award there. I think that is enough for him to have an article. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 12:48, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A Forbes under 30 list does not exactly mean the subject is Notable. Jamiebuba (talk) 13:55, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are a lot here to establish notability. There are also multiple third party sources that talks about the subject of this article: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. All of these cannot be called WP:PROMO. The sources cited (e.g., EastMojo, Northeast Now, Humans of Northeast, etc.) are independent media outlets that have covered Rewaj Chettri without direct affiliation to him. Several of these articles have named authors, indicating that they were written by professional journalists rather than by PR agents or the subject himself. EastMojo and Northeast Now are widely recognized trustworthy media organizations in Northeast India that report on business, politics, and social issues. The subject has been featured in Forbes India 30 Under 30, which is an independent and prestigious recognition. You do not get into a Forbes list via PR agents. Also since the articles discuss Chettri’s entrepreneurial journey, challenges, and impact rather than just his company’s products/services, they contribute to an encyclopedic understanding rather than mere promotion. There are also multiple non english articles about him: [12], [13]. There are also research articles that talks about him: [14], [15], [16] Flyingphoenixchips (talk)

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Nepal and Sikkim. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 11:47, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per nomination. Taabii (talk) 19:23, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: A quick source analysis would do.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Garuda ^Talk! 10:06, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I looked through the sources provided by Flyingphoenixchips and a lot of them are pretty trivial (i.e., this singular mention in an image caption in this article [17]). Forbes is the most convincing out of all the sources so far but there is little beyond that and the trivial mentions. GuardianH 03:06, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per nom. nirmal (talk) 03:28, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A agree with the discussion above that name under Forbes doesn’t qualify a person for Wikipedia notability. There isn’t anything significant notable thing beyond it. Delete per nomination. Rahmatula786 (talk) 09:23, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
