Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Gujarat

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

Fails to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for corporations, as explained in WP:NCORP and WP:ORGCRIT. WP:PROMO. Charlie (talk) 07:11, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies and India. Charlie (talk) 07:11, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep Coverage of listing on the stock market, including from major national newspapers, indicate notability. Per WP:LISTED "sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports." Examples include Fortune India, Economic Times newspaper, Business Today magazine including analyst comment, Mint business newspaper, another Economic Times article. These are just a handful of examples I found in a few minutes. The article is not irredeemably promotional. AusLondonder (talk) 08:08, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

  I am not sure if there are any reports from independent analysts available yet since the company was just listed recently (48 hours ago). Also, this company being listed alone might not meet the criteria set by Wikipedia for notability. When we examine the references provided, they appear to be same IPO news repeatedly published in multiple Indian media outlets; WP:CHURN, WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Charlie (talk) 05:26, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Food and drink and Gujarat. Skynxnex (talk) 13:05, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

• 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. In plain English, this means that references cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company - such as what seems to be the case here where most of the references are cut-and-paste jobs from the company's IPO prospectus and the rest is mere commentary on their stock market performance with no in-depth "Independent Content" *about the company*. Perhaps in the future some analysts might publish something as suggested above, but I cannot locate anything on this company that meets GNG/NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 18:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
• Delete per Highking lacks in depth coverage fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 19:45, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Local politician, does not meet the criteria at WP:NPOL. Sourcing (or lack of) is purely routine local media coverage. 𝔓^420°𝔓^Holla 14:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

• He is a state level representative, not local politician. MrMkG (talk) 14:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you MrMkG for your contribution. Could we please centre this discussion around how the available sources establish WP:BLP and WP:NPOL. Thank you, and may God bless you.𝔓^420°𝔓^Holla 14:57, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

• Keep I believe nom has misunderstood, he's not a local politician but a state politician. Per WP:NPOL members of state legislatures are notable. Here's a profile from the Indian Express AusLondonder (talk) 15:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep per AusLondonder. The source they link confirms that he's a district-level politician for Navsari district.— Moriwen (talk) 15:32, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@Moriwen: Thanks for that, just to clarify though he represents that district in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, the state parliament of Gujarat, so he's at an even higher level of government than district level. AusLondonder (talk) 15:41, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

You're quite right! I stand corrected, thanks.— Moriwen (talk) 15:43, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

• Keep -- the subject meets WP:NPOL as a member of a province-wide legislative body. JTtheOG (talk) 16:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep. Meets WP:NPOL. Simple search brings up many reliable media news sources that can be used to expand the page on this politician. RangersRus (talk) 20:24, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep: Subject passes WP:NPOL as an Indian state legislator. There appears to be sufficient coverage to surpass WP:NOPAGE. Curbon7 (talk) 00:28, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep: Meets WP:NPOL. Youknowwhoistheman (talk) 10:12, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep as legislators no doubt pass WP:NPOL. – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:18, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep. The article probably should be improved, but the state legislature is not a "local" office, state legislators automatically pass WP:NPOL in a way that municipal politicians do not, and better sourcing is available to expand this with. Nomination appears to be mere tit-for-tat retaliation for an article the nominator created about a smalltown mayor being listed for AFD, but smalltown mayors and state legislators are not equivalent topics.
