Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sikkim

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sikkim. 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|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.

Prajal Regmi

Regardless of how this turns out, thank you Flyingphoenixchips for the reminder about WP:ATD-T. For reference, the relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Notability (people). I think the only sources for this biography that have significant coverage (Honei, Vanguards of Wesea, SEED Cell, and iU) are either not independent or not reliable. Honei could be independent. I consider them to be basically human interest reporting, which is generally not as reliable as news reporting, and I don't see evidence of reliability (like editorial oversight) to refute that generalization. Vanguards of Wesea is – per its website – an initiative of the Wesean High School Students Forum. It looks like its stories are produced from nominations that are then assessed according to that website's definition of notability. Despite the nominations being reviewed by editors, I am skeptical of that source's independence from the subject. SEED Cell and the iU interview don't seem independent. In my search for sources, I only found newsheads.in. That source ended up on the spam blacklist, so I won't spend too much time evaluating it. Overall, I don't see evidence of notability.

Yep, deletion discussion would be the best course of action to get a consensus on notability! :) For now I have added the additional references! I am kinda on the grey area on whether the subject is fully notable or not either. However would appreciate input from other editors here. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 01:32, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I do agree with most of what PrinceTortoise had to say. https://www.iuemag.com/u20/is/an-inspiring-young-entrepreneur-from-the-northeast-india-Prajal-Regmi IU] is definitely not a reliable source. As for SEED Cell it seems reliable to me, because the article itself only reports of the person winning an award, and I do think this might be independent of the subject and is only reporting news about entrepreneurship from the state. As for Honei I defnitely am on the edge. Yes, it is definitely a case of human interest reporting. As for Vanguards of Wesea I do feel the subject is definitely independent from the article. There is a named author for each article, and from their website they state that "Vanguards of Wesea is strictly an encyclopedia... All nominations undergo thorough verification, and our editors ensure each person's notability through third-party sources and confirm that their achievements are legitimate." I do not see anything there that might show tht the subject is not independent from them. But again, yes, the editors listed all seems to be minors so the quality of journalism might be questioned. Not to seem ageist, but I would like to see what others have to say for the same. But yes, I myself have not been able to find any other sources apart from this. I think it just passes notability and will thus support a keep. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 06:14, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result was soft delete‎. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:11, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is clearly WP:PROMO. Little to know sources talking about it. Fails WP:GNG and all of the sources are press releases Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 02:57, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:An editor had edited a name change on the article and broken the link to this AFD. Ihave restored that and am adding a Findsources for the alternate name here. AllyD (talk) 07:20, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the inconvenience. I was just looking at the article as someone mentioned it on my talk page. The article title itself is incorrect, but after a Google search, I found several notable sources for the topic, and I have added some of them, including rewriting some parts. Aryan^{Talk} 23:43, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It’s still primary sources or passing mentions. Primary sources do not qualify as reliable sources. Press releases and media outlets just repeating the press release do not count. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 14:54, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This has been going around the relist circuit for some weeks with little input. So, let's seek a creative consensus... The current article is doing little beyond listing the annual occurrences of a marketing event, supported by PR sourced coverage; I am not seeing the critical coverage needed to demonstrate notability in its own right. However, in the wider context, we also have a Tourism in Northeast India article which does little beyond listing the sights. So, would a reasonable outcome be to move the first paragraph of this article into a International Tourism Mart section in the other article, giving some improvement there, and reduce the present article to a redirect? AllyD (talk) 07:28, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey firstly thanks for fixing the broken AfD link. Well I get what you mean but I’m totally against even using the content for the other wiki page, since the content here are all primary sources. The other sources that are not press releases also seem to be written with an overly promotional tone and we might be in WP:NEWSORGINDIA waters. A redirect would thus not make sense.

Delete - This article does not meet WP:GNG because the topic has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The sources available on the topic are primary sources or passing mentions. - tucoxn\^talk 14:46, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
