Deletion Sorting
Project

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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Article about an educational institution, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for educational institutions. As always, educational institutions are not automatically entitled to have articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to have WP:GNG-worthy third party coverage about them -- but this is "referenced" entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability, with not even one reliable or GNG-building source shown at all.
It also warrants note that a WP:SPA with a direct conflict of interest ("Gitm" right in their username) recently tried to rewrite this as a highly advertorialized promotional spiel that was overflowing with superfluous bolding of practically every word -- but even after reverting back to the version that existed before Monday, there's still some advertorialism ("GITM offer the best transport service to the student" -- best according to what objective third party source unaffiliated with the institution's PR department?) lurking in it.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the institution from having to cite any reliable sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 14:39, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I recently accepted this article via AfC. The subject has significant coverage in reliable sources like The Indian Express, The Print, and Hindustan Times, mainly around his death, but with in-depth info about his life. There's also a 2021 Hindi source with substantial coverage. I believe this meets the GNG, but to ensure consensus, I think an AfD discussion would be helpful so experienced editors can weigh in.

Was his death notable? Most people have obituaries. Where is the significant coverage outside of his death? --CNMall41 (talk) 17:23, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have a question please. If a news article about a person's death includes substantial coverage of their early life, career, and accomplishments essentially providing in-depth information directly about the subject, does that count toward meeting the General Notability Guideline (GNG)? Or is such a source discounted just because it's related to their death?Afstromen (talk) 17:45, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reflecting on someone's life is exactly what an obituary does. If they were notable prior to the death, there would be significant coverage about their life during that time. So, unless something about the death is notable, it would not count. Otherwise, we could simply create new pages based on obituary sections of newspapers. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:18, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Long list of sources but not a single source which describes about the company and its work. Most of them are just mentions or in the form of press release about acquiring film rights or announcing about films. Hard to find independent neutral coverage about this company to meet notability.

I will copy paste my response posted in Pimpladevi:
So ? The Dang states are referenced on multiple pages on wikipedia, and are part of a larger overarching project to both extensively cover, standardize and organize the articles on Princeyl States in Gujarat.
To quote what I wrote on several articles about the Pandu Mehwas states:
"This article is part of my series of articles on the various Princely States in Gujarat, especially the Dang states amd the Pandu Mehwas . Potentially once all the states have been covered we can decide which ones meet the criteria of merging into some sort of overarching article on the Gujarat states, and we can debate where the cutoff point is, as even before I looked into it we have had articles for years on states just as small or even smaller and less populous. Like Varnoli Nani for example. Then the original links can work as redirects, if we decide to do that." Ummunmutamnag (talk) 16:27, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also "unreliable sources" according to who ? Official goverment records are not reliable how ?
Also the ironic thing is you yourself cite something which is not a policy or guideline.
"This is an essay.
It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints."
So you say my officially released goverment reports published by the British Goverment are "unreliable", based on sending me an essay that has no policy weight whatsoever !
This is totally baseless and just shows your bias.
Official Goverment data is not reliable, says a person citing a source whose heading literally says it is not vetted and should not be used to dictate policy. Ummunmutamnag (talk) 16:40, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry but I move to remove the deletion tag from all three pages. You do not seem intereted in discussing anything, your reason is a subjective opinion which you back up via sharing a non vetted opinion piece, you ignore we have had articles on similar size or smaller states in Gujarat for years, etc. I'm sorry but I can't be bothered to check back several times a day if you maybe possibly respond to a single objection raised. Also the states are very much referenced in other sources, like "H H Or The Bathology Of Princes (1930)" by Kanhaalal Gauba, p. 303-304 https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.238361/page/n303/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.238361/page/n305/mode/2up Ummunmutamnag (talk) 11:05, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination is also invalid, because, as noted on the other two articles where this person copy-pasted their deletion request, his request relies on subjectively declaring official goverment records released by the British Colonial Goverment in India as "unreliable", based on nothing, not to mention not being able to show why they are unreliable in this case specifically, but in an utterly ironic twist cites as justification for his statement an essay whose heading literally says it has not been vetted and that it does not represent any guideline or policy !

As noted in the Avchar article, the user here just asserts officialy released Goverment records are "unreliable", based on nothing, while citing as justification an essay which literally says it has not been vetted and does not represetn any official guidelines or policies.
You literally sent an unvetted opinion piece as justification for why records issued by the British Colonial Goverment should be automatically considered unreliable and deleting articles relying on citing them. Ummunmutamnag (talk) 16:47, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can ascertain, I'm guessing this translates to "Prime Minister". It certainly isn't plausible that it means "of Nepal" and "of India" with the exact same spelling, which would make this an invalid dab page.

I support keeping this article as Purnima Sharma is a notable individual with significant contributions in her field. Her work has been covered by several reliable sources, which establish her notability.
Purnima Sharma’s achievements have been highlighted in trusted publications such as [source 1], [source 2], which provide detailed coverage of her career and accomplishments. These sources demonstrate her relevance and importance in her field, aligning with Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
Therefore, I believe this article meets Wikipedia’s standards for inclusion and should not be deleted. Purnimabna (talk) 21:55, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR. Sources are mentions, unreliable, or otherwise not in-depth about the subject. CNMall41 (talk) 17:37, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article contains citations from

[edit]
  • Times of India – National daily; easily passes “newspaper of record” bar for reliability.[1]
  • The Daily Star – Independent, third-party literary criticism → satisfies NAUTHOR #3.[2]
  • Indiablooms – National digital news-wire, independent.[3]
  • The Telegraph – Independent national daily (mostly popular in West Bengal and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands).[4]
  • Trans World Features – in-depth author interview.[5]

Each of these pieces is non-PR and non-paid. Together they comfortably exceed the two-source threshold of WP:GNG.

Publishing credentials

[edit]
  • ISBN citations include works from Rupa Publications – one of India’s oldest mainstream publishers.
  • N.E. Publishers and Smriti Publishers – both commercial, audited presses (not vanity).

This, plus multiple in-depth reviews (at least on two books), means Victor Ghoshe meets WP:NAUTHOR outright.

Additional evidence of lasting impact

[edit]
  • Library holdings: Tomb of God is catalogued in the Kerala State Central Library – the country’s second-oldest public library.[6]
  • International distribution: The novel is stocked by Waterstones UK (brick-and-mortar chain).[7]
  • Cultural cross-overs: Launches were headlined by National Film-Award legend Soumitra Chatterjee (for Tomb of God) and Sahitya Akademi winner Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay (for Paranormal 2).[3]

These points strengthen the “enduring, not temporary” aspect of notability per WP:N.

On the Gates Foundation mention

[edit]
The caption of the image is the only evidence for that collaboration. If this single citation is insufficient, we can remove the claim without affecting notability.

Addressing the objections

[edit]
  • Mentions are not trivial: Coverage comes from mainstream dailies.
  • No independent book reviews: Daily Star piece is a 1 000-word critique; TOI article devotes its entire feature to dissecting plot and historical backdrop.
  • Tone is promotional: Agreed. The solution is copy-editing, not deletion.

His win in a reality show (Bigg Boss OTT 2) and some online controversies have received temporary media attention, but these do not amount to the kind of sustained, independent coverage needed to demonstrate long-term wiki article.

A niche term at best, a made-up term at worse to promote an Indian counterpart to the American second lady. None of the existing citations mentions the term "second lady" and are only used to support claims that certain persons are wives of the Indian vice president. A search on Google does not yield any evidence of established endonymic usage of the term second lady of India (which is not merely a substitute for vice president wife). Searching "Uprashtrapati Bhawan hostess" also does not yield any quality sources. The role of Second Lady of India (as hostess of the Uparashtrapati Bhavan may not even exist even in unofficial capacity. Or if they do, they don't use the term).

The article does not have notability and makes a conjectural interpretation based on insufficient amounts of suspect evidence (coin hoards and vague literary references) without enough importance from primary sources.

  • Keep :Though the article has only 3 sources , it doesn't changes the fact that Gupta coins are found in the region for the very first time ,that too in abundance and concentrated hoards ,thus contradicting any possibility that these coins came into this region via trade.

  • Keep: Article is supported by scholarly secondary sources such as Goyal (1967), Sharma (1989), Mookerji (1947), and RC Majumdar (1946). I'm not confident about Majumdar but other are better sources. Chronos.Zx (talk) 11:07, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The sources are surely scholarly but a quick check reveals that except Goyal(1967) none of the other sources mentions Kumaragupta I's invasion of Aparanta.
    While RC Majumdar only gives an insignificant Idea of this invasion.[8] pg.173

    A large hoard of Kumāra-gupta's coins, found at Satara in Bombay, has been taken by some as a possible indication of Gupta influence in the South-Western Deccan', though obviously we cannot draw any definite conclusion from this or the find of 13 coins of his at Ellichpur.

Automata in the Indian cultural imagination

No disrespect to the student editor Meerad247 who created this article for their UChicago Computation, Culture, and Society class, but this article seems built on out-of-scope material and pseudohistory. Its discussion of yantras confuses the term's alternative Sanskrit meaning of machine/contraption as indicating that these geometric diagrams somehow operate as automata. Its discussion of Tholpavakoothu and broader puppetry confuses the field's goal of mimicking life with actual automata. In comparison, the Robot article recognizes Japan's Karakuri puppet as actually mechanized, while the History of robots article recognizes Hero of Alexandria's creation of a mechanical puppet theater.

The extended claim that the Lokapannati legend describes robots guarding the Buddha's tomb, only for Ashoka to defeat them is troubling pseudohistory. The claim is sourced to an article from The Conversation, which in turn cites a 1901 article that makes no mention of such robots (JSTOR link). Given that Mayor's article refers to greater coverage in her 2018 book Gods and Robots, I did further digging. When she presents the story there, it is cited to Raimon Panikkar's 1984 article "The Destiny of Technological Civilization: An Ancient Buddhist Legend Romavisaya" which opens by warning "I shall offer an interpretation of this story which the medievals might have called allegorico-anagogical: I shall consider this text of the past in the context of the present. I shall not make this paper heavy with footnotes or with hermeneutical 'praenotanda' to justify this interpretation." Scholarly recognition that Panikkar's article is WP:PSEUDOSCIENCE includes the 2017 book chapter "Panikkar's Quest for an Alternative Way of Thinking and Acting," which frames that 1984 article as a fringe attempt to treat technology as a Western advancement that poses future danger.

Generally, this article has an awkward title that would be better changed to "Robots in Indian culture" if kept as no other article begins with "Automata in ..." and "Indian cultural imagination" is needlessly wordy. For now, deletion seems warranted over focusing on appropriate inclusions like the 2010 movie Enthiran because until sources are presented to show reliable sources recognizing the robots in Indian culture as a distinct topic, such entries would be better covered by Robots in literature and Science fiction film#Robots.

Comment not voting here, but sharing these to look at, [17], [18], [19], [20], interviews can also be used to pick up some points as this seems to be questioning in detail [21], [22], They have bagged several project including a few notable ones [23], [24], sponsored/partnered but tells us about Scania project [25], notable court related project case [26], [27].

    Hi @CNMall41,
    Firstly, thank you for reviewing the page. Every notice is a new learning experience for me, and I have carefully gone through your comments.
    • Please forgive me if I have not used the correct Wikipedia technical terms. I usually use generic terminology to convey points, though I do try to follow Wikipedia guidelines as best as I can.
    Regarding the Devdutta article: I won't claim he is notable without basis, and though I wrote the article, I’m not approaching it with bias. I would like to present a logical, reference-based defense for my work. Beyond that, you all are the experts, and I trust your decision.
    Let me address the points one by one:
    1. WP:NEWSORGINDIA
    Since I don’t know the subject personally, I cannot confirm whether he or his production houses paid for the articles referenced. I used sources that I found available online. Therefore, I have no comment on their promotional nature. If you have any suggestions or tools to help identify whether a link is paid/promotional, that would be really helpful for my future articles.
    2. Removal of Unsourced Data
    Yes, he is also a singer. I found his name listed on the music apps I use, and also in Wikipedia film tables where he is credited for singing. However, I remember a previous admin mentioning that a Wikipedia article cannot be used as a reference for another Wikipedia article. So, I didn’t cite them. And since platforms like Spotify or JioSaavn are not accepted as references, I couldn’t use those either. Thank you for cleaning up the unsourced information. It would be great if you could guide me on how to properly cite chartbusters or music credits.
    ----
    Defense Based on WP:NMUSICIAN
    I’ve reviewed the WP:NMUSICIAN guidelines, and I believe the subject meets the criteria for notability for the following reasons:
    a) WP:MUSICIAN - Point 2
    This mentions having a single or album on a national chart. His song “Raja Ala” from Pawankhind was a chartbuster. I’m slightly confused because, in India, songs are mostly part of film soundtracks, unlike in Hollywood where albums and movies are more separate. Still, this subject has composed music for high-budget Marathi films, and several of his songs have been popular.
    b) WP:MUSICIAN - Point 3
    This point seems a bit biased, as it references RIAA certification and Yahoo Music ratings. Indian music directors typically aren't evaluated through such systems. How, then, can Indian subjects qualify under this criterion?
    c) WP:MUSICIAN - Point 4
    Again, this seems tilted toward Western norms. Indian music directors primarily work in film, and their recognition usually comes through movie soundtracks, not necessarily through concerts. Concerts are secondary.
    d) WP:MUSICIAN - Point 5
    I believe the subject qualifies here. His music albums have been released under Zee Music, a reputed label with over 10 years in the industry. Zee itself is a well-established brand.
    e) WP:MUSICIAN - Awards (e.g., Grammy, Academy)
    This also feels biased, as these awards are region-specific. In India, we have our own recognized awards like Filmfare and state-level honors such as Nandi Awards. The subject has received several regional awards and was also nominated for Filmfare Marathi, which I’ve mentioned in the article. Therefore, I believe he satisfies this condition too.
    Finally, I’d like to share that I’m just a movie buff. With the rise of OTT platforms, language barriers have started to fade, and I’ve found myself exploring cinema beyond my native language. I initially began writing about Telugu movies, but then I found inspiration in my mentor and brother @Jayanthkumar123, who was actively contributing articles for Telugu cinema. Later, I saw @DareshMohan bro contributing valuable content for Kannada films.
    That’s when I realized there’s a real need to work on communities like Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, and Bengaliwhere even native-language contributors are very few. I wanted to help bridge that gap and bring more visibility to regional cinema and artists who truly deserve recognition.
    Regarding the issue of paid articles: it’s evident that well-established personalities or large production houses can easily pay to get featured in newspapers and portals—eventually leading to the creation of a Wikipedia article even before the film’s release.
    On the other hand, subjects who lack financial resources and media exposure often have their pages deleted for “lack of citations.” This feels like an unfortunate imbalance, and I hope we can find fairer ways to address it.
    My final input regarding this article is that the subject is notable. He has composed quality music and has several popular songs that have performed well on music apps within the Marathi industry. He is regarded as one of the top music directors in that space.
    My suggestion would be to remove any unsourced content and improve the article in alignment with Wikipedia guidelines. Beyond that, I leave the final decision to the experienced editors—admins, rollbackers @Ab207, and others in the community hierarchy.
    Thank you for this opportunity to learn and grow. Every review is a valuable learning experience for me. - Herodyswaroop (talk) 18:35, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    >His song “Raja Ala” from Pawankhind was a chartbuster
    Please give reliable sources for this statement, as it helps to prove notability. Review WP:CHARTS. "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart" is part of WP:NMUSICBIO — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 14:58, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi @Itzcuauhtli11
    Respecting your opinion and also defending mine — I was a bit shocked by the second statement:
    "His films don't seem notable."
    Sir, I’m sharing with you Wikipedia's own lists — List of highest-grossing Marathi films. I am neither an editor nor do I know anyone associated with editing that page. The data is clearly visible there.
    • Pawankhind – This is the 3rd highest-grossing film ever in the Marathi industry. It also appears under the highest-grossing opening weekend list.
    • Subhedar – It is listed under worldwide highest-grossing films by month.
    • Firastya – This film won multiple awards, including recognition in Sweden and Pune.
    So, we can conclude from Wikipedia itself that two of his films were among the highest grossers in the Marathi film industry.
    Coming to the song "Raja Ala":
    I searched under WP:Charts, but unfortunately couldn’t find any official music chart specifically for India. However, I’m sharing a few links which I believe may help:
    1. https://www.jiosaavn.com/featured/chartbusters-2022-marathi/CAvDksWm1rKvz,QNANKgeg__ "Raja Ala" is listed in the Top 3.
    2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMgVnhNpcFc 55 million views on YouTube.
    3. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movies/news/pawankhind-new-song-raja-aala-this-foot-tapping-number-featuring-santosh-juvekar-and-chinmay-mandlekar-is-definitely-a-chartbuster/articleshow/89432249.cms Again, you may argue this is paid media — but I’m sharing it for reference.
      I hope I have answered your queries. - Herodyswaroop (talk) 17:36, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Herodyswaroop:, please stop with the AI-generated WP:WALLOFTEXT information you keep posting. It is not helpful, especially since these are not policy-based arguments and the sources you are providing are not reliable. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:45, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@CNMall41 Sorry sir, As my English is bit bad, I am using grammarly to correct the sentence. I would avoid that.
But I am actually going through each and every point in the Wikipedia guidelines and answering them, with utmost care. You asked for chartbuster I have provided the same. You asked for films notability, I have given the same.
Again bit surprising. if List of highest-grossing Marathi films this itself isn't reliable source, then which is ? - Herodyswaroop (talk) 17:53, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Itzcuauhtli11
Wikipedia: Notability (music)
  • "The recording was performed in a medium that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc."
Response: I have mentioned notable films where the recordings were featured.
  • You did not comment on the following criterion: "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)."
Response: Zee5 Music is a notable music company with over 10 years of establishment and a significant presence in the industry.
Please guide me if I am not adhering to the Wikipedia guidelines. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies for not properly betting all of the subject's movies as notable or not.
About the 3 movies you mentioned: Firastya didn't earn major awards and Subhedar only earned ₹18 crore worldwide, which may be notable enough on a regional level, but not on a national or international ones.
Pawankhind may be notable enough on a national or international level, but I'm still not sure. That could probe notability, but it doesn't mean he deserves an article. He also needs significant coverage on independent, reliable sources.
As a singer or musician, he doesn't meet WP:NMUSIC.
As a composer, he doesn't meet any of the criteria for WP:COMPOSER.
About Zee5 Music: What's its "roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable"? — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 18:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Itzcuauhtli11 @CNMall41 Sir, I am in a big confusion now. If i reply. @CNMall41 accuse me of paid editing. if I don't reply, I am getting lot of confusion. Taking the bet.
  1. Sir, Marathi films are regional films and obviously,they will be highest grossers in same na sir?. How can we expect it should be highest grosser in international level.
Like Sairat movie the top-1 in marathi list, is blockbuster in Marathi,but the same is flop in telugu. And definitely not a international hit. But still it's a top movie for marathi people right?
If that is the case 98% all regional film articles would get rejected in Wiki. Because any country Or region may give a massive hit globally once Or twice.
2. Again,you claimed no awards for Firatsya. But ref clearly shows that,then why the claim of no awards.
Finally respecting @CNMall41sir advice,not dragging the context. It would be great help if sir itself goes through Zee5 label list of independently notable, as the list may go long.
