Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

This article appears to have escaped a CSD G4 on the technicality that the CSD tag was removed not by the page creator but the by editor who moved this page into mainspace. That said, it's previously been deleted under an alternate name (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mohamadadil Asif Malkani) and has been repeatedly deleted.

Since we are now forced into a second AfD, here's the rationale and source analysis. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Appearing on Shark Tank India does not generate notability. It is also WP:ADMASQ, with WP:PROMO language like Qadri's journey into the world of fragrances began at an early age, driven by his passion for fine aromas and an interest in traditional perfume-making techniques and As a self-made entrepreneur, his journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring business owners looking to break into niche markets.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article lacks reliable sources to verify the information presented. With no citations or references to reputable historical sources, the content cannot be verified for accuracy. Additionally, the battle appears to have limited historical significance and is not widely covered in notable sources, making the article's notability questionable. Article clearly failing WP:GNG and WP:V . Mr.Hanes Talk 18:38, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - not sure if the battle ever occurred. In a past version of the article, there were six references, the first two seem unreliable (one mentions the battle was 22 Sikh versus 2,200 Mughals, hardly a major battle) and searching within the Google Books of the last four finds zero mentions of "Wan" as a location (only one total mention of "Wan" in a person's name). Searching Google Scholar and Google News for "battle of Wan" "1726" turns up nothing. Google Books produces false positives or offline books. I will note that Wan, Pakistan is similarly unsourced and only claims to be a village. starship.paint (talk / cont) 03:01, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ALS, no evidence of notability. The beauty pageant organization existed from 1968 to 1975 (lacks factual evidence), with 5 representatives sent to Miss World, two of whom were semi-finalists and one placed as 4th runner-up. While this might be covered in offline sources, given India's success in Miss World, the coverage to support the organization's credibility for Wikipedia is questionable.

Appin closed in 2013. The article is facing a string of changes where there may be a WP:SOCK (see latest changes). Delete according to WP:ATTACK which summarizes that the article has a denigrating purpose, rather than an informational one. WP:NPOV and WP:LBL, because the article is only about calmony even if it is quoted by notable media sources. Dmitry Bobriakov (talk) 15:17, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This also appears to breach WP: Illegal Conduct which states that “It is possible that an organization that is not itself generally notable will have a number of significant sources discussing its (alleged) illegal conduct. Sources that primarily discuss purely such conduct cannot be used to establish an organization's notability under this guideline”. The company would have zero notability if the sources arising from the alleged hacking operation are taken out. I will change my vote if sources that demonstrate that the company meets WP:GNG or WP:NBASIC without the use of the sources from the single event of the court case.

  • WP:ONEEVENT applies to people, not organizations. Regarding WP:ILLCON, you are omitting the last part of that paragraph which says However, the organization may still be notable, in whole or in part due to such sources, under different guidelines, e.g., WP:CRIME. Taking a look at WP:CRIME, we find that the perpetrators of a crime are eligible for a Wikipedia article if The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities. This clearly applies in this case. According to this Reuters article, the targets of Appin included internationally prominent entities such as Boris Berezovsky, Mohamed Azmin Ali, Leonel Fernández, and the Pakistani and Chinese militaries.

  • Keep This appears to be a bad-faith nomination based on policy abuse. This is the second time this page has been nominated for deletion by someone with a handful of edits. This page has been the target of malicious edits, including the intentional removal of vital information in the guise of policy enforcement, sometimes by blocked sockpuppets (see the talk page for details). Recently, an Indian court ruled in favor of Reuters, reinstating the article [32] that Appin tried to bury by misrepresenting the facts. The court explicitly stated that Appin has no right to interfere with the journalistic process [33]. There seems to be a pattern here, with many articles exposing how Rajat Khare and Appin use heavy-handed tactics against publishers to suppress the truth—a few of which are cited on this article's page. The EFF has documented a campaign of intimidation and censorship by Rajat Khare and Appin, aimed at erasing stories about their mercenary hacking operations [34]. Furthermore, a recent investigation by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) reveals a coordinated global effort by Rajat Khare and Appin to bully media outlets into removing their stories. [35], as well as coverage on their YouTube channel [36]. HARRISONSST (talk) 11:40, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Checking the history of this editor, I realized that all its changes are only for Appin and all of them have been reverted. And the way he edits the article shows an interest in the article and a possible WP:SOCK.--Dmitry Bobriakov (talk) 12:29, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You have nothing to say about what I wrote? You have nothing to say about the dozens and dozens of news organizations that called out Rajat Khare and Appin's antics? I realize that they generously provide employment opportunities to aspiring Wikipedia editors who misrepresent facts that are easy to verify, but the problem is they usually get caught in their own web of lies—the person who nominated this article for deletion the first time User:Metroick was blocked for sock puppetry. As I said, these things follow a pattern. I wouldn't be surprised if you're the same person who has been desperately trying to whitewash this article for the past year.

  • Comment This message is exclusively for the editor who will close this nomination! The controversy of this article doesn't end there, because as far as I've checked, a number of editors have an obvious interest in the article because of this and I've notified that there is a risk for a WP:SOCK. This edit with comment we are so back, baby, is made by a UK editor, and another editor interested in UK politics (who has a few edits and has never participated in the deletion discussion). Another editor who miraculously after a while got activated and participated in the deletion discussion. Including this editor who is only interested in this article and his changes have all been canceled. I want to believe it's a coincidence, but I'm not sure in this. More recently the discussion has been labeled not a ballot, which certainly has place in this discussion (since it is trying in any way to keep the article and mass voting), without seeing the real problem of the article. Dmitry Bobriakov (talk) 16:59, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I guess the question the editor should be asking is why you, with a 2.5-month-old account and about 100 edits, are so desperate to delete this page—after the Reuters article came back up—that you would cast doubt on those participating in good faith, specially given the extensive history of Rajat Khare and Appin in burying the truth, as well as the fact that this deletion request is basically a bad-faith nomination rooted in policy abuse. Since you keep on mentioning sockpuppets, the editor should also consider the fact that the person who first nominated this article for deletion User:Metroick was blocked for sock puppetry, as well as the sockpuppets who have been attempting to remove vital information from the article for the past year. HARRISONSST (talk) 17:43, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I find it very telling that you are focused on denigrating the contributions of other editors by calling people sockpuppets sans evidence, but you have made no effort whatsoever to address the Wikipedia policy issues that editors have raised in response to your AfD request. Please address the policy issues in question, rather than indulging in ad hominem comments in an attempt to discount input with which you disagree. Espatie (talk) 23:23, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - if the article seems to be too denigrating in its tone, then it is only a matter of its proper edition. Neither this issue nor the existence of the described company is a factor of the informative character, as long as it describes fact and also - as some people above noted - the controversy, in which Appin had been involved, has not ended. --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 18:02, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as there are plenty of reliable sources that establish notability. I’m actually baffled as to shy someone would nominate this. The article reads as pretty neutral and well-written to me, though it would benefit from expanding it to add detail of what they actually did, rather than just their litigious activities (are there possibly additional non-English language sources that would assist?). Either way, we do not delete articles with NPOV issues; we fix them. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 20:09, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sources you call notable only describe their litigious activities. Then I wonder how they vote so actively en masse (copy-paste) without anyone verifying the information. As you say other information needs to be added about the company (which generally doesn't exist), and all the sources and information are about their litigious activities!

  • Delete, not on the basis of nomination reason because articles are not deleted for WP:NPOV, they are edited and cleaned. And for the proposal that this article constitute libel and should be deleted, that reasoning does not apply because if anyone should sue for libel it should be the news organisations that published the story not Wikipedia that cited those sources. Before search showed that this was an obscure company pre Reuters publication and had nothing that could be used to prove its existence. It is the subsequent litigation which followed that brought it to public attention. I support the argument by Runmastery that if WP:ILLCON is applied to this article, it would not stand. Most of the sources are to the Reuters reporting and the continuing ligation. The alleged victims of the hacking are notable as listed in the Reuters reporting, but the report did not give details of how they were hacked, it is only passing mentions. None of the alleged victims made public complaints of being hacked or filed any lawsuit against the company and no other news organisations reported the hacking other than Reuters. WP:ILLCON is applicable here because the alleged victims were not widely reported by other news organisations. And I see that none of the victim is listed or discussed in this article. There is no wide coverage of the hacking and its victims in multiple sources other than Reuters reporting. There are tons of civil cases out there and this is one of such. Nothing special in this. Seminita (talk) 11:50, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Your argument is based on misinformation.
    --
    1. User: Runmastery's argument misrepresents WP:ILLCON, as the comments have pointed out [37]. Specifically, it omits the part that states: However, the organization may still be notable, in whole or in part due to such sources, under different guidelines, e.g., WP:CRIME.
    --
    2. Regarding your notability claim that there is no wide coverage beyond the Reuters [38] report, A LOT OF reputable sources have documented Rajat Khare and Appin's mercenary hacking operations: The New Yorker [39], Wired [40], Reporters Without Borders (RSF) [41], RSF's YouTube channel [42], EFF [43], Dark Reading Archived [44], Freedom of the Press [45], Columbia Journalism Review [46], The Wire Archived [47], The Daily Beast [48], The Times [49], Lawfare [50], and many, many more.
    --
    3. Not that it makes the slightest different to whether the Appin page should stay or not, there are articles that provide details of how Rajat Khare and Appin's mercenary hacking operations operated. Here is one from Security Week that I found with a casual Internet search [51]. SentinelOne also published an article [52]. It's been temporarily removed due to heavy-handed intimidation tactics, but is still available on archive.org [53].
    --
    4. Your statement that none of Rajat Khare and Appin's victims made complaints of being hacked, and that none are listed or discussed in the article, is both false and irrelevant to this discussion. I don't think you've even read the Reuter's article and you are just throwing a bunch of random issues at the page, hoping something sticks. The Reuters article [54] explicitly mentions a father-and-son duo—Peter and Stevie Hargitay—who detected a cyber intrusion and filed a criminal complaint with Swiss authorities. Their hired expert traced the hack to a server near Zurich, with billing records identifying Rajat Khare as the client. They claimed that their personal and business data had been compromised as part of a targeted hacking campaign. Other articles also document Rajat Khare and Appin's victims, but I've wasted enough time on this reply. HARRISONSST (talk) 14:47, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He got the attention in news media when he was allegedly shot by notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi gang and he was also a president of state level organisation i.e., Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena. But we do not create pages for presidents of caste based state organisations like Rajasthan Jat Mahasabha or Rajput Karni Sena of Rajasthan. If you see the sources then in almost all sources it is about “he shot by bishnoi gang”.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article on Harshada Pathare fails to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for authors and filmmakers. The references cited are primarily from non-independent or low-quality sources, such as News24, Yahoo Finance, and promotional platforms like the Tagore International Film Festival’s own website. These sources lack the depth and reliability required to establish significant coverage or independent notability. Additionally, the article has a promotional tone, which violates Unambiguous Advertising or Promotion. The subject's notable achievements, including awards and books, are not adequately supported by independent, verifiable sources.

There is also a possible Conflict of Interest, as this subject has a significant creation and deletion history dating back to 2018, with five drafts and one main space article being deleted under G11. It is unlikely that this repeated effort to create the article is coincidental, especially considering the subject's limited notability as evidenced by their sparse Google presence. This raises questions about why multiple attempts have been made to establish this page, despite a lack of substantial independent coverage.

Upon further investigation, the creator of this page appears to have a pattern of creating articles with extensive personal data, often citing only one or two references. This raises concerns about verifiability and how the creator is obtaining such detailed information when it is not publicly available. These issues, combined with the lack of reliable, independent sources and a promotional tone, warrant deletion of this article for failing to meet Wikipedia’s standards for notability, neutrality, and verifiability.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article on Rudraneil Sengupta does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for biographies, as it lacks adequate independent and reliable sources to substantiate the subject's significance. While the article attempts to document his career and achievements, it is insufficiently supported by verifiable evidence from secondary sources providing substantial coverage of his life and work.

Of the references cited in the article, only the first citation meets the criteria for a reliable source. The rest of the references merely mention Sengupta in passing, failing to offer independent or in-depth analysis of his contributions. This is not enough to establish notability under Wikipedia's standards, which require significant, independent coverage from credible sources.

A quick Google search further confirms the lack of independent coverage. Most search results are either related to Sengupta's published works or are affiliated with organizations he has worked for. There is no significant independent recognition or detailed media coverage, which is essential to meet notability guidelines.

The article also claims that Sengupta has received awards such as the Ramnath Goenka Award and the SOPA Award, but these claims are not supported by verifiable sources within the article or by any independent third-party confirmation. Without proper citations, such assertions cannot be deemed reliable or sufficient to demonstrate his notability.

Much of the content appears to be derived from primary sources or editorialized interpretations of his career. Wikipedia's verifiability and neutrality policies require that biographical content rely on independent, third-party sources to ensure reliability.

In conclusion, this article fails to meet Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines and standards for Reliable Sources. As a result, I am nominating this article for deletion. Kriji Sehamati (talk) 15:13, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines as it lacks significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Many references cited in the article are either promotional or lack credibility. Citations 13, 14, and 15 are press releases, which are inherently self-promotional and do not establish notability. Additionally, citations 16 and 17 are from Amazon, a platform unsuitable for verifying the significance of an individual's achievements. The article also appears promotional in tone, emphasizing awards and achievements without adequate independent verification. A neutral point of view is essential on Wikipedia, and the content here violates this principle. Furthermore, a preliminary Google search fails to uncover substantial, independent coverage of Pawan Reley, further undermining claims of notability. Without credible, independent sources to substantiate the subject's achievements and influence, this article fails to demonstrate that the individual meets the notability requirements for inclusion on Wikipedia.

Non notable political party. The leader of this party gained some notoriety for filing a false affidavit. Has never won an election (never even come close), is not a recognised party with a permanent symbol and therefore should not remain. Fails WP:GNG Jupitus Smart 02:51, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jupitus Smart: Yeah, I guess you might be right... I'm not from India, so I'm not really familiar with India's political system, but I'm trying to do my best to figure things out. (e.g. I have now realized that I should probably link "unrecognized" to Politics of India § Registered Unrecognized Political Party (RUPP)) I have now done some mostly-thorough searching through various public and licensed resources that I have access to, and here are the statistics of what I found (though keep in mind that my criteria for what to list and what to merge vs keep separate have been a bit inconsistent):
  • 83 articles/books/documents total
    • 12 were about Nellai R. Jebamani in the Janata Party
    • 25 were just lists of election candidates or results or similar
    • 37 were just about Mohanraj, the party leader
    • 9 actually have information about the party beyond Mohanraj and election participation and performance:

Meet Mohanraj Jebamani, a retired police inspector and son of former MLA and freedom fighter Jebamani. [...] Mohanraj's father Jebamani was an MLA from the Sathankulam constituency in 1976, the election held immediately after the emergency was lifted. His father Jebamani was one of the detainees under the MISA during the emergency and was part of Morarji Desai's Janata party then. "I got voluntary retirement from the police service, because of corruption." He has named his party as Jebamani Janata Party after his father.
The sources about Nellai R. Jebamani are not directly relevant. The lists and election results are routine coverage, if that doctrine applies to this kind of article. The sources about Mohanraj clearly do not have significant coverage of the party if their only mention is something like '[...] Mohanraj of the Jebamani Janata Party [...]'. These last nine sources have some coverage of the party, but I'm not sure if it rises to the level of being Significant Coverage... #1-4 are still routine coverage, and #5-9 have only very small amounts of information about the party. However, there are still some unexplored avenues for finding sources: in particular, I have not exhausted the Google Search or Internet Archive results, and I have not really tried searching in Devanagari script, just Latin script...
However, given how much I found about Mohanraj / Mohan Raj, do you think would might be notable enough? If so, I might try to pivot this article into an article about him? The sources I've found are mostly about various litigation he's filed, the false affidavits you mentioned, and a little bit of biographical information. The article I cited from The Week gives the impression of being a short biography of him.

The Wikipedia page for IIMUN (India's International Movement to Unite Nations) does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria as outlined in the General Notability Guidelines (GNG). While the organization claims widespread activity and recognition, the sources cited are primarily self-published or lack significant, reliable secondary coverage in independent publications. The majority of the references either originate from IIMUN itself, social media posts, or promotional material, which are insufficient to establish notability. Furthermore, the achievements mentioned, such as organizing large-scale conferences and initiatives like "Find a Bed," fail to receive substantial and consistent coverage from reputable third-party sources over a significant period. Without verifiable, independent, and non-trivial coverage, the subject cannot be deemed notable under Wikipedia's policies. Therefore, the article does not merit inclusion and should be considered for deletion. Likehumansdo (talk) 09:29, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The existence of this port is questionable due to a serious lack of sources. A Google search yields no results for the so-called "Farakka Port". The cited sources in the article refer instead to a Farakka inland waterway, used for transporting coal to the Farakka Super Thermal Power Station near the Farakka Barrage. It seems it is actually referring to a floating terminal listed here. In any case, the topic fails to meet WP:GNG. The Doom Patrol (talk) 09:01, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Since we cannot enforce NFF to movies which have reliable sources confirming the start of principal photography/production after filming began, deletion is not warranted.--MimsMENTOR talk 13:14, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I see people bringing up NFF as far as production goes. I want to explain a bit about the requirements for an unreleased film establishing notability. To put it bluntly, production starting is not a sign of notability. The guideline is basically that people should not even consider creating articles for unreleased films unless production has begun. If production has begun then an article might be doable, however the article creator(s) would still need to establish how the production is notable in and of itself. In other words, if the film were to be cancelled today and production ground to a complete and total halt, would the current amount and quality of sourcing be enough to establish notability in the here and now?
The reason this came about is because for a while there Wikipedia has a rather big issue with people creating pages for announced films. No production is guaranteed, so there were quite a few films that were stuck in development hell. Names and companies might be attached or some other level of pre-production done, but it never led to any actual production.
As far as coverage goes, keep in mind that there has to be quite a bit and it has to be in depth. This is where it gets tricky, because marketing companies will flood media outlets with what is essentially the same content over and over again. They may announce a single name or change, but ultimately it's all coming from the same press release or statement. Right now the article's production section is non-existent and the current sourcing in the article is pretty paltry. I'm not saying that the film is absolutely non-notable, just that right now it's not really super convincing that this passes NFILM. I'm just concerned that the arguments for keep here are arguing that production has commenced but aren't really backing it up with sourcing to show where the production is notable. I'll see what I can do to expand this, but this really needs more/better sourcing than what is in the article. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 16:33, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've expanded it but I'm still a bit uneasy saying that this passes NFILM. Production is completed, but there really wasn't a lot of coverage of the actual production. Most of it was either pre-production announcements or a rehash of pre-production announcements, stating that filming had started. Nobody really talked about the production. Everyone was pretty close mouthed about this. If this were to be an indefinitely shelved film (meaning the actual film was never released and it was used as a tax write-off), then I'm not certain that the current amount of coverage is really enough to establish notability for the movie.
I'm not against the film having an article, so it's not like I'm saying all of this because I'm a deletionist. (I lean more towards inclusion.) It's just that I don't think that the current coverage puts this comfortably out of reach of deletion, if you look at this from the perspective of "if this never releases or gets more coverage".

  • Weak delete. I agree with Reader's analysis above. Completing production doesn't in and of itself show notability, it's just a reasonable indicator that information showing notability likely exists. Here, though, no one has been able to show that is the case, so deletion is warranted. I'm at weak delete since the article certainly is doing no harm; it's not excessively promotional and the essentials of the article clearly are accurate. But it's unreleased, and there's no objective basis to say whether it ever will be, and it's standalone notability is wanting.

  • Comment. When I created the article, this movie was in the news regularly. However, the release dates have been postponed several times and now there has been no update about the movie for several months. As per the coverage it received, I believe it's notable but not sure about the policy about films which don't have release date confirmations. Charsaddian (talk) 18:48, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
