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.

I can't find news or media sources that would help this subject pass WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. Even after its release, there are no reliable critical reviews available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DivitNation (talk • contribs) 09:03, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Fixed now--I have no opinion of my own at this time. @DivitNation: You have made multiple AfD nominations, and while they have been made in good faith, every one of them was malformed and/or did not follow proper procedure. Please read WP:AFDHOWTO, and please fully follow the instructions there for any future nominations so as not to make extra work for your fellow editors.

Promotional article about a journalist and activist, who received some passing mentions or trivial coverage in the news articles associated with his ex-wife Laxmi Agarwal and his associate Aseem Trivedi. He also received some mentions in the news articles related to " 'Anonymous' hackers to protest Indian Internet laws", but the subject fails WP:SIGCOV & WP:GNG.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. The article lacks significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Most of the references are limited to routine announcements, such as inclusion in a Forbes 30 Under 30 list, brief mentions in startup-focused outlets, and company-affiliated sources. There is no in-depth, independent coverage that demonstrates sustained notability or broader public interest. The article reads more like a promotional profile than an encyclopedic biography, and does not meet the threshold for a standalone article

I have searched for significant coverage of the subject in reliable, independent sources but could not find any that meet the requirements of WP:NBIO. The existing article relies primarily on primary sources, routine institutional mentions, or brief announcements, none of which provide the in-depth, secondary coverage necessary to establish encyclopedic notability.

- One source alone is not sufficient to establish notability under WP:GNG. Wikipedia requires multiple independent, reliable sources with significant coverage. Without additional such references, the subject still fails to meet the threshold for a standalone biography. Thilsebatti (talk) 13:30, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

This individual article fails in WP:GNG, and WP:SIGCOV. There is only passing mention in news articles from a single news organization.

An exact copy of declined draft at AFC. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. The subject appears to have limited, mostly routine coverage in local or community outlets. Coverage primarily focuses on her role as Miss India–Canada 2014 or yoga-related event mentions, but lacks significant independent, in-depth biographical coverage in reliable secondary sources. Much of the media used is either trivial, brief, or not about her in a substantial way. Notability is not inherited from participation in a beauty pageant or teaching yoga unless supported by significant coverage. Thilsebatti (talk) 04:19, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

- Comment – I did a WP:BEFORE and found nothing, I believe that if there is coverage, it is in Tamil. Svartner (talk) 21:59, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
- I understand that Wikipedia generally prefers articles/coverage in English to ascertain a person's notability. While there are only a few English news sources, the subject of the article is a fairly popular name among the regional audience. Beyond the existing references, she has been mentioned in and linked back from several other articles, which I urge to be considered valid enough to establish her notability. Aishu.m (talk) 05:21, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- Links from other articles have no bearing on notability, nor does English language sourcing if you can show the depth of sourcing in Tamil articles. The issue is that mentions and popularity are not significant enough for notability Star Mississippi 13:05, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

- Draftify. After conducting a thorough BEFORE search, I was able to find reliable, secondary and independent references to the subject which includes trivial information or routine coverage that doesn't meet the threshold criteria for general notability guidelines or demonstrate significant coverage. The article was created on 21st July 2025, which appears to be a fairly new. She has had some supporting roles in notable movie and TV shows i.e Maa (2025 film) and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 3 respectively. So, as per alternatives to deletion draftify will be applied here for further improvement. Fade258 (talk) 14:04, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

- Thank you for pointing this out Sources 4, 5, 6. To clarify:
- Source 4 is correctly cited for its coverage of the National Quantum Mission, which is a central theme in the book. It provides context and relevance for the material discussed, especially the government’s role and ecosystem development.
- Source 5, although published in 2022, is referenced in the wikipedia article in the context of India’s historical trajectory in the software industry. The book draws on earlier industry developments and analyses, making retrospective reference appropriate.
- Source 6 is included to support the section connecting quantum ideas with ancient Indian texts. While the book itself extends the interpretation, the source provides relevant cultural and philosophical context that enriches this discussion.
- That said, I welcome collaborative efforts to further refine the citations, as Quantum Nation presents original perspectives that have been positively received by readers and experts in India’s quantum and deep tech community.
- Regarding Source 10.
- Source 10 (WorldCat) is used here to verify the existence and library holdings of the book. While it's classified as a primary source in Wikipedia’s guidelines, the fact that the book is held by multiple independent university libraries does suggest curatorial interest and reinforces the book’s credibility.
- Regarding Sources 1, 3, 7 and 8
- I agree regarding 1 and 3 am removing them. But analyticsinsight.net and quantumcomputingreport.com—are widely cited in the quantum technology and tech journalism space and may be considered reliable.
- The book has been recommended as a “Must Read” in the Quantum Vibes Q4 2024 issue which is an official publication hosted at quantumindia.net, a government-supported platform for India’s National Quantum Mission. This adds institutional credibility and helps establish the book's relevance in the quantum ecosystem. I am adding this new source in the wikipedia article for this book.
- I agree that overall the article could benefit from further cleanup and improved sourcing, and I’m happy to work on that. However, I would not recommend deletion at this stage. The book Quantum Nation: India’s Leap into the Future has received significant attention and positive reception across quantum conferences and forums in India. Notably, it was listed as a “Must Read” in Quantum Vibes Q4 2024 — the official publication associated with India’s National Quantum Mission from the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. This helps establish both relevance and notability. PN2024 (talk) 09:49, 23 July 2025 (UTC) — PN2024 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- The source you added (page 9 of [1]) does not qualify under WP:BKCRIT, which specifically excludes "media re-prints of press releases" and "flap copy". This source does not add any commentary or opinion on the book; it is simply a verbatim reproduction of the publisher's marketing copy:
Imagine a universe where every star in the sky and every molecule in your coffee cup forms part of an immense quantum computer...
[2] This cannot be used to establish the book's notability. Astaire (talk) 15:00, 23 July 2025 (UTC)- I strongly disagree with the characterization that the Quantum Vibes mention should be dismissed from inclusion under WP:BKCRIT. While it includes a summary of the book, it is not a promotional reprint or publisher flap copy. Quantum Vibes is a quarterly publication by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, a neutral, third-party organization with strong ties to the national quantum community. The book was included in a “Must Read” recommendation list in its Q4 2024 issue (page 9), which clearly reflects recognition from within the domain.
- This inclusion demonstrates that Quantum Nation is part of serious discourse in India's quantum innovation landscape. Dismissing this as mere marketing (which the Quantum Vibes mention is clearly not) ignores its relevance as an indicator of community engagement and professional endorsement. PN2024 (talk) 16:09, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- In fact, after we began this discussion, I reviewed several issues of Quantum Vibes and did not come across a single instance of advertising or marketing. The content appears entirely editorial and carefully curated by subject matter experts, which adds to its credibility as an independent and authoritative source. PN2024 (talk) 16:22, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- It does not "include a summary of the book". It is a word-for-word reproduction of the publisher's marketing copy for the book, with no added commentary. Astaire (talk) 17:56, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- Indeed. It is laughably far from being an actual book review. Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction (talk) 02:35, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- While I understand the concern about the use of promotional text, I would like to state my observation that Quantum Vibes is not a promotional newsletter. I believe it’s important to view this in context:
- 1. The source is the official newsletter of C-DAC Centre for Development of Advanced Computing — India’s premier R&D institution for IT, electronics, and computing. This isn’t a random publication or a commercial flyer.
- 2. The content of the newsletter is editorial and expert-driven. I looked up several names on the editorial board listed at the end, and they are indeed established experts in computing. The rest of the newsletter, too, is written by top experts and maintains a serious, professional tone and there’s no evidence of promotional fluff or random reproductions of press releases.
- 3. Most importantly, the tone and framing of the mention clearly position the book as a “must-read” — not merely echoing marketing material but endorsing it through the authority of the institution and its contributors.
- 4. Sometimes a brief mention even if it includes book blurbs can function as a clear recommendation or signal of notability, particularly when it comes from a body like C-DAC. Not every review must be a multi-paragraph critical analysis to be meaningful in a notability discussion.
- 5. I believe this reference is best understood in spirit, not just word count and in that spirit, it qualifies as an endorsement from a leading national institution in the field. PN2024 (talk) 05:11, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- Indeed. It is laughably far from being an actual book review. Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction (talk) 02:35, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

I have added a new source from a national quantum mission led official publication.

- I think the point of the WorldCat entry may have been misunderstood. The intention was not to highlight the reviews quoted there, but rather to indicate that multiple top universities — including Washington University in St. Louis, University of Texas at Arlington, and Colorado School of Mines — have independently chosen to include the book in their library collections.
- This curatorial selection by academic institutions suggests credibility and notability. As we know, university libraries don’t casually add books — their acquisitions are typically based on faculty recommendations, relevance to academic programs, and librarian curation, all within limited budgets.
- To avoid further confusion, I’ll remove the WorldCat link and instead provide direct links to the individual university catalog entries. That should make the sourcing clearer. Apologies for any misunderstanding caused. PN2024 (talk) 05:18, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

- Note to Closer. Though nominator has withdrawn the AFD nomination, I would prefer this AFD review to continue. My reason behind this is, the page was created by an editor, 15 days old, who moved the draft to mainspace without letting it go through AFC review. I reviewed the page after looking at this AFD and found the subject to fail WP:GNG. The sources are poor to unreliable. Source Analysis.
- Source 1 is unreliable and very likely you will invite malware by clicking on this page.
- Source 2 by TOI has passing mention.
- Source 3 is unreliable WP:ICTFSOURCES.

Most coverage is company-focused, not about him individually. There are no reliable, independent biographical profiles with in-depth coverage.

- Keep — Passes both WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Multiple independent, reliable sources offer significant biographical coverage, not mere routine company mentions:
- D. Govardan, “They changed the way we watch movies”, The Times of India, 21 Nov 2022 – in‑depth career profile tracing Kumar’s innovations from Media Artists (1986) through Qube Wire (2018).
- M. Suganth, “Chennai‑based movie tech guru Senthil Kumar gets Academy invite”, The Times of India, 1 Jul 2020 – coverage of his AMPAS induction.

- These articles and award reports amply satisfy the “significant coverage” requirement of WP:GNG, while the AMPAS membership, IMAX Special Achievement Award, and NIT‑T Distinguished Alumni Award are all selective honours that meet WP-NBIO §1/§3/§8. Any COI or tone issues can be fixed through normal editing; they are not grounds for deletion. — SanjayMadhavan (talk) 07:56, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
- Disagree. The sources cited are either brief event-based mentions, interviews (primary), or trade/press-release style writeups. There is no in-depth, independent, reliably sourced biographical coverage of Senthil Kumar as required by WP:GNG. The AMPAS membership, IMAX Special Achievement Award, and NIT-T Distinguished Alumni Award are indeed selective recognitions. However, WP:NBIO requires that such awards be covered in-depth by reliable independent sources, which is lacking here. At present, the subject fails both WP:GNG and WP:NBIO due to absence of sustained, independent biographical coverage in reliable secondary sources. Most sources are limited to brief announcements or primary interviews. Thilsebatti (talk) 18:50, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

A promotional article for a non notable author, by using aggressive PR techniques, unverified claims, paid for advertising articles, with a high chances of COI & UPE involved. All the books by the subject seems to be non notable but still the editor created articles for all of them. The subject clearly fails wp:NAUTHOR.

- Strong keep: As I stated in the previous nomination, the subject clearly meets the requirements of WP:GNG by receiving significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. Notable examples include a detailed articles in DNA (300+ words), an article by Time of India (350+ words), Business Standard, NDTV, Hindustan Times, and MidDay, among others. These are independent, reliable secondary sources that provide substantial detail about her career, publications, and public influence, not mere name-drops or trivial mentions. As WP:GNG states:
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.
In this case, multiple substantial articles from mainstream publications combine to satisfy the notability criteria. Therefore, the subject meets both WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. GSS 💬 14:51, 19 July 2025 (UTC)- I can’t see your comment on the previous nomination. Did you participate in the last AFD?
- This DNA article you mentioned is non-bylined promotional article to advertise her personal training service.
- The Times of India article is also clearly advertorial piece with a disclaimer "Disclaimer: This article was produced on behalf of Life Health Foods by Times Internet’s Spotlight team."
- Business standard article is a book review without the name of the reviewer, clear promotion.
- NDTV article is more focused on the Book and Salman Khan, not the subject of the article.
- The Hindustan Times article is about the opinions of multiple people, and she got trivial coverage, fails Wp:SIGCOV.
- midday article is just a photo gallery, without any critical assessment of her career.
- This proves the article fails wp:GNG and Wp:SIGCOV both. Zuck28 (talk) 15:09, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
- Respectfully, I did participate in the previous AfD, but regardless, notability is determined based on policy and the quality of sources, not continuity of participants. Regarding the sources: while it's fair to assess for promotional tone or disclaimers, dismissing all coverage as non-notable misapplies WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. The DNA India article, which is over 300 words, discusses her career, influence, and clientele. The absence of an author byline does not disqualify its reliability or editorial status, as many editorial articles are unsigned unless marked as sponsored. As for the Business Standard article, it was written by journalist Asmita Aggarwal (credited by name), so the claim that it lacks one is factually incorrect. The article engages directly with her book and fitness philosophy, not simply as a product plug but in a substantive profile format. The NDTV piece, while it includes Salman Khan, is centered around Deanne Panday’s book launch and includes her quotes and ideas this qualifies as non-trivial coverage. Similarly, the Hindustan Times and Mid-Day articles offer independent mentions. Per WP:GNG, notability is assessed holistically. If depth in any one source is limited, multiple independent sources may be considered collectively. In addition to the previously mentioned sources, here are more in-depth, independent articles that further support her notability and provide substantial coverage suitable for expanding the article; Economic Times, India Today, HT, Indian Express, HT. In my view, these sources align with the requirements under WP:GNG and provide further opportunity to expand the article. GSS 💬 16:12, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
- I would add that the Salman Khan reference is not a counter argument but perhaps the opposite, as it would ultimately demonstrate her importance as celebrities' fitness/well-being coach (as claimed), and thus the importance of keeping the article. Metamentalist (talk) 13:14, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

- Delete:Agree with the nomination here. Notability is not established with significant professional sources. It is a gathering of mentions, routine coverage at best. Coldupnorth (talk) 18:04, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- Could you please clarify why you consider these sources to lack significant coverage or to be routine mentions? The articles I provided above including the one from The Economic Times are detailed, full-length features that focus specifically on Deanne Panday’s work as a fitness author. They include original quotes, biographical context, and discussion of her professional influence, which seems to go beyond routine coverage.
- I've also found additional in-depth coverage such as:
- Times of India: An editorial piece focused on her fitness career and early start as a wellness coach, not gossip or routine reporting.
- India.com: Another article with biographical depth highlighting her career journey, wellness philosophy, and professional associations.
- ABP Live: While partly visual, it still includes contextual details about her work as a fitness trainer and author.
- News18 Hindi: Offers background information in the context of her family, but also presents her personal achievements and fitness career.
- News24 Hindi: Mentions her appearance in a music video, but within a broader frame of her public presence.
- These sources provide in-depth coverage of her career and public contributions and not just passing mentions or celebrity gossip. Several include original reporting, and contextual depth. There appears to be enough to merit a broader look through WP:BEFORE if needed. Thank you, GSS 💬 05:09, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- India. Com article is primary source, written by the subject herself.
- MSN article is a syndicated feed from a TOI interview, again a primary source.
- News18: A photogallery with a tag of "agency", indicating a PR supply.
- And News24Hindi article link is not working. Zuck28 (talk) 05:20, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- Are you sure about that?
- The India.com article was written by their journalist Kritika Vaid, not by the subject herself, so it's not a self-published or primary source.
- The MSN article, I've already replaced it with the original from TOI. Also, it's not a direct interview it uses a few quotes, making it a secondary report rather than a primary one.
- As for News18, the article was authored by journalist Versha, not labeled as PR. News18India is a legitimate media outlet under the News18 group, not a pr agency.
- Lastly, here is the link to News24Hindi, edited by their journalist Nancy Tomar. You can't just simply dismiss every source just because you nominated the article for deletion. Each source should be evaluated on its own merits, not based on the outcome you’re hoping for. GSS 💬 05:53, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

- No, you did not add a source for the release date. There should be sections for the development and production of the film, its promotion and release -- was it played at Festivals? Did it have theatrical release, direct-to-video, or what? You need to add sources for all of this. What did the critical reviews say? What was the film's budget and total gross revenue? If there are no independent reviews and sources, then this film is not notable. This is still just a rambling stub. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:10, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Directing debut of a prominent film director (see https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2012/Jan/12/veteran-film-director-passes-away-329441.html). Added a source to the page about the director for the theatrical release (Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema p. 642; also see p. 549.) It is hard to believe that someone could ask if a 1959 film could have had a direct-to-video release but maybe that was a joke. The cast is also fairly notable. Please see WP:NFIC which states "The film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of their career. An article on the film should be created only if there is enough information on it that it would clutter up the biography page of that person if it was mentioned there." Seems to be the case. But if the cast and plot can be redirected and merged into the article about the director, feel free. Anyway, deletion does not seem necessary.- Eva Ux 22:54, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

- The event has received non-trivial, significant coverage in independent and reliable sources such as The Times of India, The Print, and Indian Express. Coverage is not routine or passing; it includes detailed reporting, investigation follow-up, and national relevance.

- Keep WP:NOTNEWS is misinterpreted here as it discourages day to day news and transient events and topics without ensuring relevance however the attack was a significant one as it was conducted in the territory of Myanmar.With the reference of historical significance, articles like the 2015 Indian counter-insurgency operation in Myanmar exists which initially started off as news based but later evolved to standalone historical events. A change in the article name might be a topic of discussion if needed
- Legion of Liberty (talk) 20:30, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hmmm the article name should be changed cause this isn’t Myanmar vs India.. But the fact that India didn't claim they attacked ULFA-I camps makes it difficult to keep the naming and harms neutrality. 2015 Indian counter-insurgency operation in Myanmar was a confirmed operation by India. Where as this one was clearly denied.
- But clearly I see this topic won't last longer than 3 days, irrelevent as days passes unless it leads to something big soon which is unlikely. WinKyaw (talk) 05:42, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- There are other examples of such cross border attacks like 2024 Iranian missile strikes in Pakistan , where Pakistan wasn't the target rather the baloch militants inside it so that might be a more accurate type of name that can be applied to this article and for the second point made , Operation Outside the Box this attack which was made by Isarel on Syria was denied by Israel until 2018 , so wikipedia doesn't require offical confirmation for the coverage of an well covered incident by sources of different medias , as WP:V and WP:NPV.
- An cross border strike by a nuclear armed state which is again seen after the last major strikes 10 years ago definitely hails notability and even if it vanishes from the headlines , in future the people who revisit the article for info and also as per WP:NEVENT if a event recieves non-insufficient coverage in multiple reliable sources , then it proves the notability as well.

- It is not necessary that different stories get mentioned in different medias however what is necessary is the coverage of the incident WP:SIGCOV.The incident is not a regular crime or Insurgency incident instead it involves a "not regular" cross border strike. India does not strike locations in Myanmar daily.The incident is not a spill over of the Myanmar civil war either and WP:SUMMARYSTYLE notes that a notable subtopic can be a article. This event has greater notability than 2025 Waziristan drone strike where such incidents are far more common than the ones here however they still survive on the notability of Wikipedia so I think this article can do the same with higher notability than them. Legion of Liberty (talk) 03:21, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Well on 14 May 2025 Indian troops entered Myanmar and killed some of Myanmar's soldiers according to local sources. Of course, India denies it and there isn't enough coverage to justify the specifics (only primary sources and geoanalysis of the video being on the Myanmar side of the border). [19] In addition, Myanmar does regularly strike Thailand without much coverage, so in my opinion this is a similar case to the other spillovers. In the case of the 14 May attack, that was also not necessarily because of the civil war either but it's also covered in Spillover.
- This specific strike is well covered for sigcov but it doesn't necessarily have enough to beat WP:NOTNEWS in my opinion. If more analysis rather than WP:ROUTINE coverage comes out this would obviously be notable enough. It's just toosoon. 21:30, 15 July 2025 (UTC) EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 21:30, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Indian TV news channels are a dime a dozen. There is no claim to notability in this article, and it's frighteningly close to an A7 speedy.

The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
(emphasis added). It is certain that he directed 2 movies (Chennai Ungalai Anbudan Varaverkirathu and Asuravadham) which is playing a major role in creating them, but are they significant or well-known works.

- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. The brand was "launched" in August 2023 and these sources are simply regurgitating the same information provided by the founder about herself and the new brand. Fails ORGIND and NCORP.

Causing deaths and being reported in the news do not confer notability, and high-casualty bus crashes are common. Fails WP:EVENT. Per WP:NOPAGE, this is better covered at List of traffic collisions (2000–present) or Dhumakot. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 19:08, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

Accident which caused 32 deaths is not something that always happen. It was also discussed throughout the nation well as indicated by the sources.Thilsebatti (talk) 03:38, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete – Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT – Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage of the event itself with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. The only mention of the crash that I could find post-June 2022 was a brief mention in October 2022 in a list of road accident in Uttarakhand from Al Jazeera. No lasting effects or long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks per the above.

Third, I would prefer to see the (unfortunately numerous) mass casualty events in Uttarakhand merged into a single page to avoid this kind of nom. I can't !vote for a merge as there isn't a page to merge them to as far as I can tell. Anyway, until that page exists, I'd say that the half-dozen mass casualty events are all notable.

Most sources are trivial mentions, event-based PR, or local coverage. Several sources are affiliated or self-published.
- The mere founding of a company (Planet Marathi) does not confer notability unless independent, sustained coverage exists about him—not just his projects. As it stands, he does not meet the threshold for WP:NPRODUCER. Thilsebatti (talk) 06:33, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep This organization is independently notable, having significant references which are from reliable sources. Evidences found to meet WP:NORG. Orbit578 (talk) 05:01, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep Page meets WP:NORG requirements through several independent sources providing significant coverage. Although, a few sources mentioned earlier may give an impression of being promotional in nature, I see that the organization has received substantial coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject across different time periods and contexts and aligns with WP:GNG. Sources [33], [34], and [35] are evidence of sustained media coverage rather than single-event coverage. Notice that sources span several months and cover distinct organizational activities, indicating ongoing newsworthiness beyond promotional events. Found more coverage from a few other established outlets including [36] and [37], written by journalists with credible editorial histories. [38] demonstrates international scope and engagement with global environmental issues. Though #11, #12, and #16 are from the same news org, they were published by three different experienced journalists known for producing news articles on varied topics of public interest. These sources are at par with other high quality coverage and appear to be legitimate news reporting rather than paid placement. To sum, the sources collectively show independent editorial judgment in covering the foundation's activities across multiple domains (animal welfare, environmental awareness, education, etc). The coverage pattern suggests genuine news value rather than promotional placement, with different journalists at various outlets finding the organization's work newsworthy enough to report on independently. While some sources may be of varying quality, the totality of coverage demonstrates the foundation has achieved sufficient independent notability to warrant a standalone article per WP:NORG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anshul81 (talk • contribs) 14:36, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep – Fravashi Academy is one of Nashik's oldest and most reputed private schools. It has been extensively covered in local and state news, demonstrated by the multiple news items in prominent and reputed news sources, like the Times of India, as you mentioned, on its results, toppers and school events. Further, in terms of notability under WP:GNG, the school has been recognised at the national level, having set a record acknowledged by a third-party institution, the India Book of Records: (https://indiabookofrecords.in/india-book-of-records-honours-the-largest-choir/). The presence of multiple independent, non-trivial sources indicates clear notability. Additionally, news about a potential buyout of the school also gained coverage from several national newspapers and news portals (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/education/kkr-backed-eurokids-in-talks-to-buy-nasik-based-farvashi-school-for-about-rs-227-cr/articleshow/76122944.cms?from=mdr). While the article may benefit from more inline citations and formatting cleanup, deletion is wholly unwarranted. The subject clearly merits inclusion. GoldenPhoenix123 (talk) 16:41, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
- Results, toppers and school events are routine coverage. Even if we consider the Economic Times source, we would still need two more. India Book of Records is neither reliable nor independent and the fact that the record isn’t covered by any other reliable news media shows how unimportant it is. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 13:34, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
- The school and its affiliated Trust have been covered in the news: (HC restrains govt from acting against Nashik school). Further, its alumni include a chess grandmaster and former Captain for the Indian chess team, Vidit Gujrathi, as well as several prominent Bollywood actors and directors— Sayali Bhagat, Shashank Khaitan and Saiyami Kher. GoldenPhoenix123 (talk) 16:43, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
- The coverage of a court case involving the school’s trust is a press release. As for alumni, even if they’re notable individuals, a school's notability requires reliable, independent and substantial coverage of the school, not just a list of who studied there. We'd still need at least two more solid, independent sources with significant coverage focused on the school itself to meet the guideline. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:00, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: While outlets like India TV, Business Today, and News18 are mentioned in the article, most of the coverage is either routine or promotional in nature. The sources provided by Taabii aren't in-depth, biographical sources. For someone to meet WP:GNG, we need significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources, not just passing mentions or PR-style writeups. Most of the article focuses on Mehta’s connection to Tribeca Developers, which seems to function mainly as a marketing or licensing partner for Trump-branded projects in India. That kind of association doesn't automatically establish notability, unless the individual himself has received consistent, independent media attention separate from the brand. A lot of the coverage cited feels promotional, some of it reads more like press releases than independent journalism. The sources focus more on the real estate projects than on Mehta as a notable figure, and they lack any real critical or analytical depth. Claiming this subject passes WP:NBIO seems like a stretch. There’s no clear evidence of any major impact on the real estate industry, no notable awards, and no leadership in globally recognized companies.Thilsebatti (talk) 09:45, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- The sources provided by me are not about the company, these are about the subject hence these are independent of the subject. And these articles shed light on Mehta's career path, business choices, and overall influence on the growth of real estate in India. He receive substantial coverage in numerous credible, independent publications, so these are not merely passing mentions. A legitimate claim to notability under WP:GNG and even WP:NBIO is supported by that type of industry influence as well as sustained media attention over time. Taabii (talk) 08:23, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: I have reviewed all the points presented by the editors mentioned above. I believe that the arguments in favor of keeping the content are more compelling. When examining the references cited in the article, it is evident that the topic is discussed in sources deemed reliable by Wikipedia (WP:RS), including Hindustan Times, LiveMint, Indian Express, and The Financial Express (India), all of which are respected newspapers. In my view, this meets the standards outlined in WP:GNG. Baqi:) (talk) 10:38, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

No. | Source | Publication | Type | Reliable? | Independent? | Significant Coverage? | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | "In The Name Of The Son" | Forbes India | Article | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Focuses on Trump Jr’s India strategy. Mehta is briefly named, not profiled. |
2 | "Kalpesh Mehta – Tribeca Developers…" | Bru Times News | Lifestyle blog | ❌🟥 | ❌ | ❌ | Likely self-published or promotional. Not reliable per WP:RS. |
3 | "Who are Kalpesh Mehta" | Moneycontrol | Article | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Surface-level write-up; no sustained biographical content. |
4 | "Trump Org eyes towers…" | Fortune India | Business news | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Project-focused. Mehta is not the subject. |
5 | "Godrej Group’s CEO…" | Forbes | Unrelated article | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Unrelated to Mehta; irrelevant to notability. |
6 | "Kalpesh Mehta – The Carlyle Group" | Moneycontrol | Company profile | ✅🟨 | ❌ | ❌ | Likely derived from company PR. Not independent. |
7 | "Proud to be the largest developer…" | Financial Express | Interview | ✅🟩 | ❌ | ❌ | Primary source. Fails independence. |
8 | "Kalpesh Mehta in US for inauguration" | Economic Times | News | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Brief event-based coverage. |
9 | "Meet Kalpesh Mehta..." | DNA India | Article | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Promotional in tone. Biographical info is shallow. |
10 | "Trump World Center to be built…" | Times of India | Event news | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Project mention; Mehta named in passing. |
11 | "Inside Trump Towers Gurugram…" | NDTV | Real estate article | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Focus is the property, not Mehta. |
12 | "Trump Residences sold out…" | Indian Express | Sales news | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Covers project success. Mehta not profiled. |

16 | "Who is Kalpesh Mehta?" | LiveMint | Article | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | “Who is”–style piece. Minimal depth. Mostly tied to Trump brand. |
17 | "Trump inauguration partners" | Hindustan Times | Event news | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Event-specific. Name-check only. |
18 | "Trump Indian partner in US…" | The Tribune | News | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Inauguration-related; Mehta only briefly cited. |
19 | "कल्पेश मेहता..." (Hindi) | News18 India | News (Hindi) | ✅🟩 | ✅ | ❌ | Sensationalized tone. No depth of coverage. |
Despite the large number of citations, none of the sources offer significant, sustained, and independent coverage required by WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. Nearly all are either project announcements, event mentions, or primary interviews lacking in-depth biographical focus. Promotional tone, "Who is" fluff, and passing name-checks dominate the coverage. There is no substantial profile in any high-quality source independent of Tribeca or the Trump brand.

- Keep - Subject absolutely does meet WP:GNG with current sourcing. The amount of AfD nominations this editor has done for soccer players in a short period indicates that they are not doing WP:BEFORE. If they had, they would have also found (all in English):
- This is in addition to the notable coverage already referenced in the article, as well as the likely additional coverage in the many local languages of places he has played.
- Rapid-fire nominations for deletion only makes Wikipedia worse. – Ike Lek (talk) 00:55, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- The article is about an Indian player who never even pursued a professional career and only has sources mentioning a call-up for an under-17 team.

Unnecessary as Wiktionary has Cat:ur:Family and Cat:hi:Family.

- Keep per WP:HEY. I have copy edited for translation problems, rescued deadlink citations, removed unsourced content or content that didn't seem to fit, and added info to expand the article. With regards to the AfD nomination, an article's content must be verifiable, but do not need to be online. Thus, we don't assume the content is wrong just because its source is not online. Also, MOS says to leave deadlink citations in place, so that is normal and not a problem. Thus, I don't believe the reasons behind the AfD are justifiable. Rublamb (talk) 03:41, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep per above historical church.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 14:37, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – Scholarly works (Anthropological Survey of India 2002; Bhattacharya 1981) together with a full-length 2016 Anandabazar Patrika feature and other independent historical sources provide reliable coverage, and hence the subject meets WP:GNG and WP:NBUILD. Aeon Sentinel (talk) 13:58, 17 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I am not sure that some of these new sources provide WP:SIGCOV:
- I can only see the Google Books preview, but Bhattacharya 1981 seems only to have a trivial mention and doesn't contain the word "Meherpur", which concerns me as it apparently supports
In the 19th century, Chapra, Nadia was the center of missionary works for the Meherpur subdivision of the undivided Bengal (now West Bengal, India
. - The "Christian fair" article makes up a plurality of the citations, but is only vaguely about the church -- it's really about the fair. I'm only working from a translation, but I also can't see that it supports, as claimed,
The four-day fair blends traditional Christian and Indian traditions and has some 20,000 participants each year
(though it does mention that the fair includes a specific Indian practice, singing kirtan). Even then, it seems to be local news, which isn't normally evidence of notability. - The High School history page isn't independent, as the school was founded by the church: in any case, it's WP:PRIMARY and WP:ABOUTSELF. Even then, the mention of the church is trivial.
- I can only see the Google Books preview, but Bhattacharya 1981 seems only to have a trivial mention and doesn't contain the word "Meherpur", which concerns me as it apparently supports
- The Sessional Papers source has a single trivial mention -- and is a document from the British parliament from 1904, which may fall under WP:PRIMARY.
- I can't access the Diocese of Barrackpore source, but it seems likely to be a trivial/administrative mention rather than a detailed discussion.
- That leaves only the Nadia District Gazetteer that I can fully vouch provides WP:SIGCOV (though even then it's not massive) within a source suitable for WP:GNG. If we only one good source provides significant coverage, the article should not be kept, but rather merged into an article about the town. I don't want to vote delete at this stage, as most of this is absence of evidence rather than secure evidence of a problem, but would be reassured if someone with access to the sources could overturn my impressions of their coverage. UndercoverClassicist T·C 07:39, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

- Weak keep I share UndercoverClassicist's concerns about the current sources. I have not been able to find a source which clearly gets this over a WP:GNG line. However a couple scholarly searches and book searches come up with at least mentions of the church including a 1904 sessional mention in British parliament. These might be mentions, but I'm confident someone with access could find something that would get this over the line. SportingFlyer T·C 20:40, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
