Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Maharashtra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Articles for deletion

[edit]
National Insurance Academy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I don't see any sources by which to judge the school to be notable, with WP:NCORP being applicable to this private business institution. The sole reference in the article seems to be lost, but based on its title ("NIA: 100% placement with highest package of Rs 10.5 lakh per annum") and what had been referenced to it, it seems to have been a PR-push. (I don't think independent media are going out on their own to examine insurance academy placement rates and report on them.) Largoplazo (talk) 00:11, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no identification of the notability of this article that was created by WALTHAM2 who created many Hoax articles using unreliable RAJ sources, unsourced, fails GNG and not enough coverage. 🦅Durjan Singh Jadon (talk) 14:04, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Entire article is unsourced. Doesn't appears to be notable as per GNG and SIGCOV. Fade258 (talk) 15:44, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on unreliable sources: see reference of Suresh Kumar is not reliable and not enough coverage. Durjan Singh Jadon (talk) 16:36, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. The sources provided in the article are mainly concerning the coverage which is about Ramakrishna Math. Ratnahastin (talk) 12:01, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I tried cleaning up the article by removing promotional non-encyclopedic details. However, more relevant details can be added - but a quick google news search didn't return many secondary sources. But seems as President of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, seems notable based on the sources - so think this is Keep. Asteramellus (talk) 00:06, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The article focuses excessively on routine activities, such as the subject's visits and organizational roles, without demonstrating significant impact or recognition from independent, reliable sources. It includes excessive details about minor events, such as trips to South Africa and Darjeeling, which lack sufficient importance. All in all, the article appears more as a celebratory homage than a dispassionate biography and falls short of demonstrating the subject's notability. Charlie (talk) 11:02, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — Swami Gautamananda fails GNG. The sources mentioned are not significant to pass GNG.Collegeboy12 (talk) 08:32, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. Article relies mostly on primary sources. No significant coverage in independent, reliable media. A few mentions here and there, but nothing in-depth or sustained. Can't see anything that clearly establishes notability. Junbeesh (talk) 14:12, 29 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. Rahmatula786 (talk) 14:41, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RESUME-like, where her notability is mainly inherited from OnlyFans and the positions she has held with the company. 30Four (talk) 07:27, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable manager and CEO. I don't see the sources to pass WP:Anybio. Cinder painter (talk) 08:06, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete: He heads not only a business but also an eighty year old charitable organisation running several educational, healthcare organisations which are doing good work for the benefit of society and underprevilaged. Further, references give from Times of India, Economic Times, ThePrint, ANI, BusinessWorld and Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers are quite reliable.

According to AfD guidelines, votes should be made by choosing one of these options, "Keep," "Delete," "Merge," "Redirect," or another relevant choice. Please avoid saying "Do not delete", Instead, use "Keep" to support keeping the article. Vikram S Pasari (talk) 10:37, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete: I have furtrher developed the article with additional reliable references. KhrushchevN (talk) 05:05, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – I have worked on improving the entire article by adding more relevant details and credible citations, have made sure it aligns well with WP's policies. The subject meets WP:ACADEMIC as he is the Chancellor of Somaiya Vidyavihar University and head of multiple educational institutions, which satisfies the guideline that states, "The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society." He also qualifies under WP:ANYBIO for receiving the Order of the Star of Italy, a major international honour. So, keep. --Vikram S Pasari (talk) 13:47, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
