Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Manipur

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

Only one professional appearance, fails in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 13:50, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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. I reiterate, the subject clearly fails in WP:GNG, including when compared to better articles/with more sources about footballers who only played at youth level that were also deleted.

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 10:23, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. The Scroll source looks OK, but not enough on its own. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 10:28, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – The sources from Khelnow and Scroll are enough to meet WP:BASIC, because those cover stories about the person himself. I feel the article should be expanded if this AfD ended up being kept. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 11:06, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Read Khelnow and Scroll carefully - one is just a rehash of the other. In other words, they count as 1 source. Geschichte (talk) 12:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not enough for a WP:YOUNGATH. The sources go on about U12, U14 etc which amount to nothing in the sports world. Geschichte (talk) 12:17, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per above. Youth international prospect with fully pro appearances and sources. Definitely also has Indian language sources besides the English ones already here. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 03:36, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:53, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Almost all of the sources fail WP:YOUNGATH, and he only made one appearance. I almost put draftify before realising his appearance was some years ago. SportingFlyer T·C 19:24, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
