Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Karnataka

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

Procedural keep – Per last AfD. Svartner (talk) 17:04, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep — per Svartner. The previous AfD was withdrawn recently, so this feels like a premature re-nomination. EmilyR34 (talk) 10:19, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I agree with user:EmilyR34, premature re-nomination. Mysecretgarden (talk) 17:32, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep too early, possibly not an intentional nomination (the reasoning of the nomination is the same in many afd started by the nominator). Never-ending string (talk) 13:26, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – The subject does not have enough news coverage except press releases. Mysecretgarden (talk) 17:52, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article can and will be improved in areas where concerns have been raised, and deletion should not be considered the primary solution. Efforts should instead focus on addressing the identified issues by adding reliable sources, improving structure and clarity, and ensuring compliance with Wikipedia’s content and notability guidelines. Constructive editing and collaboration would be more appropriate than removal. ChronoWriter (talk) 06:46, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been updated with reliable news sources as references wherever required. Continuous efforts will be made to improve the article. ChronoWriter (talk) 06:26, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable company as per WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. Almost all sources are lifestyle or promotional type, mostly Indian media repeating company story and product launch. That is WP:ROUTINE and WP:RSNOI type coverage, not deep independent analysis. All articles just talk about their watches, founders and collections, like free publicity. No real independent study or big international coverage to show lasting importance. Fail WP:GNG also, because there is no significant or in-depth secondary coverage. This looks more like marketing or company profile, not encyclopedic subject. LexyNight (talk) 17:12, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
