Deletion Sorting
Project

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.

  • Delete per WP:TNT which is just an essay, not a policy or guideline but a good idea in this case. Reliability is a must for Wikipedia and LLMs are not reliable -- see WP:OR. Bad refs violate WP:V and may indicate potential bad faith (or cluelessness). I'll reconsider if someone will cut this article back to a notable, properly referenced stub -- ping me in that case. --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 03:28, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: the wholesale use of an LLM to create the article make it more pretty much useless in an encyclopedic sense. If a trusted user were to exhaustively go through every source, verify that its 100% accurate, and rewrite the whole article, I might change my vote, but at that point, it'd just be much better to start from scratch.

    @A. B. Hey, guess what I'm in the middle of doing? (Unless you saw my writing specifically and conclude that the chatbot was better, in that case IDK I think I'll have to WP:RTV from shame /joke) What can I say, I like leopards and wildlife conservation. I mean, the article isn't perfect yet (I'm pretty sure one of the Times of India references is a paid piece) but I've pretty much rewritten everything and already started to move to better references. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 04:01, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    OH also I suppose hi @Bgsu98 @Miniapolis @JesusisGreat7; I decided to take this on and did the TNT application and rewrite myself. I'm pretty sure references like [1][2][3][4] should be okay for notability. Indian sources contain a lot of healthy criticism and report on the less-flattering parts of the reserve's history, so I'm going to guess they're legit in this case. Only snag is that most sources focus mostly on the Jhalana forest, not really the conservation forest as a whole, but given that the two forests are joined and pretty much exclusively talked about together since Amagarh forest became a thing, I think that's an issue that could be solved by page moves and tweaks to article organization.

    Yep! Only thing left is the lead (heavily trimmed to just the ___location and the parks that make up the reserve, I'll rewrite it once I finish expanding the article) and the "see also" section. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 09:18, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Repost of previously deleted and salted material: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bahauddeen Nadwi, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bahauddeen Muhammed Nadwi, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bahauddeen Nadwi (2nd nomination). Created by a sockpuppet evading a block. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:04, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Darul Huda Islamic University has been kept after previous deletion nominations (see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Darul Huda Islamic University – result: speedy keep). The subject of this article, Bahauddeen Nadwi, is not just affiliated — he is the founder and long-serving VC, and his name appears in reliable sources including official institutional materials.

The only real issue here seems to be confusion over name spelling variants (e.g., "Bahauddeen" vs. "Bahahuddin"). That shouldn't be grounds for deletion — it can be corrected or merged rather than removed entirely. Hidaya Chemmad (talk) 15:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just to note that was speedy kept in 2013 because of WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, but SCHOOLOUTCOMES was changed in 2017 so that schools are no longer always notable. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 16:12, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A better reference would be the latest AfD, WP:Articles for deletion/Darul Huda Islamic University (4th nomination) were the result was keep -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 16:14, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's surprising to see that Darul Huda Islamic University has faced four AfD nominations, despite being an established institution with coverage in reliable sources. The repeated nominations of related topics like Bahauddeen Nadwi and the deletion of Al Jamia Al Islamiya raise important questions about consistency in how Wikipedia applies notability standards for educational and religious institutions.
If WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES no longer guarantees notability for all universities, then we need to rely even more on clear sourcing standards and community consistency. But in cases like DHIU repeated nominations seem excessive.
I understand the need to prevent spam or promotional content, but deletion should not become the default response to institutions or people outside mainstream Western academia, especially when reliable sources exist.
What is the goal of repeated deletions if notability is already reasonably established? Hidaya Chemmad (talk) 16:40, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This has nothing to do with "mainstream Western academia", all universitirs are judged by the same standards regardless of where they re in the world -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 21:30, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You’re right that standards are global, but enforcement feels inconsistent. Why different outcomes for similar Islamic institutions in Kerala?
  1. Rahmaniyya Arabic College – live  
  2. Jami'a Nooriyya Arabic College – live  
  3. Coordination of Islamic Colleges – live but tagged as promotional  
  4. Academy of Sharia and Advanced Studies – borderline  
  5. Darul Huda Islamic University – kept after 3 AfDs  
  6. Al Jamia Al Islamiya – deleted  
The founder VC, Bahauddeen Nadwi, shaped Darul Huda’s vision, curriculum, and global recognition. Under NPROF criterion 6 or WP:GNG, this kind of lasting institutional impact deserves weight.
This isn’t about automatic notability — it’s about consistency and recognizing non-Western academic leadership.
If the university is notable, the founding VC who built it over decades is likely notable too. Otherwise, both should be considered non-notable — but not selectively. ~~~~ Hidaya Chemmad (talk) 02:50, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. The "keep" AfD result at WP:Articles for deletion/Darul Huda Islamic University (4th nomination) is highly suspicious, especially given that 2 of the keep !voters were subsequently banned. The only thing that "deletion is the default response to" is the contempt for proper processes that has been shown here; block evasion, source falsification, inappropriate use of AI, conflict-of-interest editing, WP:GAMENAMEing, etc; my goal in nominating this page for deletion was to ensure that those antics don't prevail, and I would do the same for any subject regardless of whether or not it is outside mainstream Western acaemia. And while this is expressly my own opinion and contrary to policy which says that the content decision should not be influenced by other's behavior, I personally am totally fine with the consequences of resorting to such tactics being that articles on topics that would otherwise have survived be deleted. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:44, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In my personal opinion, the Vice Chancellor of a clearly notable university should also be considered notable — especially if they are the founding VC and have held that role over a long period. The position itself carries significant academic and public responsibility.
While I understand that notability must be supported by reliable, independent sources per WP:GNG, I believe that holding a top leadership role at an institution like Darul Huda Islamic University — which has been subject to multiple AfDs and kept — is a strong indicator of independent significance. Hidaya Chemmad (talk) 19:07, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Automatic notability for academics usually requires a named chair rather than being a vice principal, see WP:NPROF for the details. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 21:28, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Being vice chancellor would usually cut it... but there is no reliable source evidence this university counts as a major academic institution. Dclemens1971 (talk) 02:07, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If the university doesn't count as a major academic institution, then why has the article about it been kept after 4 AfDs?
You can’t disqualify the VC on one hand while reaffirming the institution’s notability on the other. Either both are non-notable, or the founder of a repeatedly-kept institution deserves a fair evaluation. Hidaya Chemmad (talk) 03:04, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
“Notable” for Wikipedia purposes does not equal “major”. Dclemens1971 (talk) 12:26, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Could 'Hidaya Chemmad' be the blocked users [7] and [8]? 'Hidaya Chemmad' is a recent account, has a very limited range of articles of interest, is being very insistent about these articles, these articles are the same ones which the blocked users were focused on.

The engagement in question was of limited significance, with minimal casualties and no participation of senior officials. The highest-ranking officer involved was a Major. Such localized insurgent encounters are relatively common in the Kashmir region, where mid-level officers typically lead the troops. The article lacks comprehensive sourcing; no independent or in-depth references have been provided. The majority of the citations are drawn from Indian-leaning sources, with none reflecting a neutral perspective. Additionally, two references consist solely of interviews or statements from a participant in the battle, which do not meet neutrality standards. As such, the article does not satisfy the requirements of WP:GNG, WP:V, WP:RS and WP:SIGCOV. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 12:05, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Two of the mentioned sources are Indian sources, the third one is only neutral but the book is certainly not available in the public ___domain. A book authored by Indian general is not a reliable reference for this case. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 14:16, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally the battle didn't have any significant outcome. There are literally hundreds of battle fought during a war, but we do not make an article on each one of them. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 14:17, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The sources I provided are published by reliable publications thus you cannot analyze reliability of these sources based on author's nationality. First book has 2 authors, one is a military official while another person is a teacher of history. Second book is written by Nitin Anant Gokhale who is totally an independent source and reliable enough as he does not make any exceptional claims. You already agree third one is reliable enough so I dont have to explain about that. I am also not going to argue that why dont you consider capturing of an altitude of approximately 21,000 feet to be significant enough. Orientls (talk) 14:24, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable youtuber and reality show contestant. Fails GNG. Thilsebatti (talk) 02:34, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The subject, Sunny Arya (popularly known as “Tehelka Bhai”), clearly meets WP:GNG as there is significant coverage in reliable, independent media.
For example, NDTV reported extensively on his eviction from Bigg Boss 17 (NDTV, 29 Nov 2023: https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/bigg-boss-17-sunny-aryaa-aka-tehelka-evicted-for-breaking-house-rule-4628952). The Times of India also carried a detailed interview and analysis of his role and controversy on the show (TOI, 2 Dec 2023: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/exclusive-bigg-boss-17s-sunny-arya-aka-tehelka-bhai-samarth-and-abhishek-kumar-were-also-aggressive-but-only-i-got-evicted-for-being-violent/photostory/105705228.cms). Furthermore, India Today provided in-depth coverage of his conflicts on Day 2 of the season (India Today, 18 Oct 2023: https://www.indiatoday.in/television/reality-tv/story/bigg-boss-17-day-2-abhishek-kumar-gets-physically-violent-with-sunny-arya-2450401-2023-10-18).
These sources are independent, reliable, and provide more than trivial coverage, which satisfies WP:GNG. Hence, the article should be retained.

  • Delete. Appears to be notable only for his controversial exit on reality TV show. Fails WP:BLP1E.4meter4 (talk) 04:14, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep – Respectfully disputing the WP:BLP1E rationale. While one comment suggests Sunny Arya is notable only for his eviction from Bigg Boss 17, reliable coverage shows otherwise. Arya has received significant, independent attention across multiple contexts beyond the show.
    He is a popular digital creator with millions of followers, and mainstream media has profiled his career, lifestyle, and public activities. For example, reports have covered his YouTube career, personal life, and assets.[1] He was also widely reported upon following a fire accident in July 2024, demonstrating continued coverage unrelated to the reality show.[2][3] In addition, mainstream entertainment outlets like Indian Express and Times of India have covered his activities in the public sphere, including celebrity collaborations and fan meets.[4][5]
    Such broad and sustained coverage demonstrates that Arya is not a WP:BLP1E case. His media presence is established through multiple independent sources over time, satisfying WP:GNG. Therefore, the article should be retained. NeerajRajkumar (talk) 14:13, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Keep – Sunny Arya’s coverage is not limited to his Bigg Boss 17 eviction. Multiple independent sources (Times of India, Pinkvilla, Indian Express, CarBike360) have covered his digital career, accident, and public events. This indicates broader notability beyond a single incident, satisfying WP:GNG. NeerajRajkumar (talk) 14:48, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sunny Arya’s coverage extends beyond his ''Bigg Boss 17'' eviction. Multiple independent and reliable sources such as Times of India, Pinkvilla, Indian Express, and CarBike360 have reported on his digital career, accident, and public appearances. This demonstrates that his notability is not limited to a single event and meets [[WP:GNG]] criteria. NeerajRajkumar (talk) 14:57, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • It probably is too early, but not by much. From a practical point of view having an article that is at least set up right might be an advantage – many of the other articles in the series are massively bloated and really not very encyclopaedic. An argument could be made that the details here could, with the exception of the auction itself, best be summaries on the individual team-season pages rather than being split in to a separate article, but that decision would probably be difficult to make and would involve some hard decisions and a massive amount of gate-keeping. We'd be better off doing that, but I doubt that happens. Ultimately, this article makes a reappearance in four to six weeks anyway, unless someone's going to play whackamole. So, purely from a practical point of view, there seems little point deleting it Blue Square Thing (talk) 04:29, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An article about a battle at an Indian village in 1971, that is lacking any WP:SIGCOV in third-party, reliable, secondary sources, despite there being a plethora books focusing on the parent Indo-Pakistani war of 1971. The article currently only cites the scarce works of the Pakistani junior commanders, who fought the battle at the time and wrote memoirs and articles in the Pakistani fora about it, and these are neither reliable nor suffice for establishing the noteworthiness of the subject for a standalone existence here. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 18:28, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The battle resulted in the awarding of several gallantry distinctions on both sides. From Pakistan, personnel received 5 Sitara-e-Jurat (the third-highest gallantry award), 6 Tamgha-e-Jurat (the fourth-highest gallantry award), and one Imtiazi Sanad (Mentioned in Dispatches). From India, awards included 8 Maha Vir Chakra (the second-highest gallantry award) and 18 Vir Chakra (the third-highest gallantry award).
This engagement holds considerable importance, equivalent to Battle of Shiromoni, Battle of point 5140, Battle of Point 4875, and others.
It is important to note that battles are typically fought and led at the level of junior officers; one would not expect a flag officer like three-star generals or brigadiers to personally lead them. (However, the battle was directly fought by a Brigadier, and a Maj Gen was directly involved in the battle). The examples cited below also demonstrate this pattern :
  1. Battle of point 5140 — Lt. Col. Yogesh Kumar Joshi
  2. Battle of Point 4875 — Lt. Col. Yogesh Kumar Joshi & Capt. Vikram Batra
  3. Battle of Shiromoni — Maj. Abul Manzur
  4. Battle of Boyra — Flt. Lt. Roy & Wg. Cdr. Afzal
  5. Battle of Kushtia — Maj. Shoeb

Tumblr is user generated. Bol news article is written by Pakistani military officials. Tribune is an opinion piece. Dawn article is about a review of a book written by a Pakistani military officer. These sources are not reliable for this battle. Shankargb (talk) 00:16, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The references of the four books mentioned above contains documented history, those can be used as reliable sources.
I'm currently reading the books, I'll add the citations today or tomorrow with cross checking the information with several sources.

@Lt.gen.zephyr, which reliable source says that this relatively obscure battle resulted in "8 Maha Vir Chakra and 18 Vir Chakra" for India, or are you making it all up by yourself? Additionally, getting a "third-highest gallantry award" or "Mentioned in Dispatches" may be a grounds for notability for the person getting the honour, but it is by no means a ground for notability of the battle itself. People fighting terrorists in Kashmir get these recognitions all the time but we don't go on writing about every other encounter.. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 07:36, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lt.gen.zephyr If you don't have sources for, hell your very premise for why you wish to keep this subject as a standalone article, you should desist from peddling these unverifiable details, which may mislead others into forming an inaccurate impression about the subject. Hundreds of battles are fought in a war, but, likewise, we don't indiscrimately write about every single one, only the notable ones. You wish to 'keep' this article because the battle allegedly resulted in gallantry awards and MiDs for soldiers and yet, that too you cannot attest with reliable sources. I don't see merit in your !keep. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 08:55, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have added the source for Pakistani awards. I'm presently working to improve the condition of the battle part, as I've already polished the article's ORBAT, casualties and aftermath version.

These sources you adduce are unfortunately exactly emblematic of what ails this article and why it is up for deletion here. Ahmed's The battle of Hussainiwala and Qaiser-i-Hind: the 1971 war is nothing but a memoir he wrote to relay his personal experiences from this very battle in which he claims to have commanded his Pakistani unit. For our purposes, this source is clearly unfit for statements of facts, much less interpretative or analytical claims concerning this subject. It may only be considered reliable for his own opinions, subject to our policies, period. While your second source seems to offer nothing more than a passing mention about this subject. The policy is clear that it requires WP:SIGCOV in "reliable sources independent of the subject", and we cannot have it go for a toss just to accommodate obscure subjects with no significance or claims to notability into our encyclopedia.

  • Comment : I have recently made a series of updates to improve the article, and for the sake of clarity and transparency I am outlining them below:
  1. Territorial changes were updated in line with WP:NPOV to ensure the section remains balanced and neutral.
  2. Strength and casualty figures were removed from the infobox as they were unsourced, fails verification under WP:V.
  3. Ranks of the officers who had taken part in the warfare have been corrected, with citations provided from reliable sources.
  4. ORBAT for both India and Pakistan has been revised using official military histories and neutral references such as An Atlas of the 1971 India–Pakistan War: The Creation of Bangladesh and others (with page numbers cited for transparency).
  5. Details of the 4 December operations have been expanded with references from both an Indian general and a Pakistani Air Force officer. Since both sources corroborate one another, I felt this was a valuable addition.
  6. Casualty figures have been updated with references from national news and the regimental history of 15 Punjab. I will try to source and add Pakistani casualty figures.
  7. Awards and decorations : Pakistani recipients have been cited from reliable sources, while unsourced information on Indian recipients was removed until proper references can be traced and used.


I have aimed throughout to maintain neutrality, improve sourcing, and enhance the article’s overall quality. If any of the sources I have used are considered unsuitable, please raise the concern here or on the talk page. I am open to replacing or improving them where needed.

I plan to continue working on the remaining sections in the coming days, and I welcome constructive input so we can collaboratively ensure the article reflects reliable, well-sourced, and balanced information. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 18:22, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:GNG. The draft is full of song release announcements yet there is nothing that has charted, no albums under major record labels, not touring, etc. For GNG, I find a lot of WP:NEWSORGINDIA such as this from Forbes India clearly marked as "branded content." CNMall41 (talk) 17:11, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The subject has released over 20 music videos, several under Zee Music Company, a major record label, which supports notability under WP:NMUSICIAN. Additionally, their participation in Yanchan Produced’s 2024 USA tour further establishes their industry presence. The Forbes India article, marked as branded content, is irrelevant here, as the subject’s notability is grounded in other verifiable, independent sources.

Largely trivial coverage in sources (RS or otherwise), fails WP:SIGCOV for notability esecially for a racial slur like this. The exact article (with the same sources) has been repeatedly created from a redirect by the singular WP:LTA sock network Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SheryOfficial ([19], [20], [21], [22]) whose intentions have been nothing more than racist trolling ([23], [24]). The article itself has only served as a racist troll magnet whenever it has been repeatedly created ([25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34]). Edit: And 17 more accounts have just been banned for disruption related to the article since this AfD has been up ([35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53] and 12 more).

Coming to the sources (currently/previously at the article/Talk):

We ultimately have very few RS which cover the term in any significant capacity, a standalone article as such cannot really be justified (nothing which can't be/isn't already covered at List of ethnic slurs). The slur is no different from more older ones (e.g. 1, e.g. 2) whose standalone articles we do not feature for similar reasons. Gotitbro (talk) 08:56, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The article has been considerably improved in good faith and as per @Ratnahastin WP:SIGCOV has been sufficiently addressed.
I must say, it is of interesting note that a user has just been blocked for vandalizing the article as we are actively discussing this.. Eulersidentity (talk) 15:22, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep - The term "Pajeet" is highly notable and has received in-depth coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources:
  • In a case study by Network Contagion Research Institute at Rutgers University, this term is covered extensively, with almost entire study revolving around it. 33 mentions of the slur , along with his history, usage, variants etc all are covered over several pages.[59]
  • In a report by Rohit Chopra, Professor in the Department of Communication at Santa Clara University and Visiting Scholar at the Center for South Asia at Stanford University, the term is covered extensively and it is published by the Centre of study of organized hate[60]
  • Non trivial coverage in a report by Institute for Strategic Dialogue [61]
  • Extensive coverage in DFRAC , an IFCN certified fact checker. This report covers the origin, and history of the term along with analysis of its usage on social media. [62]
  • Significant coverage in a Global Project Against Hate and Extremism  (GPAHE) study [63]

Enough to prove that this term is highly notable and has received scholarly attention. It has also been used as an insult against various public figures of Indian origin in the west as well and there is ample news coverage for that, but I won't be citing that. Ratnahastin (talk) 20:01, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The review of sources in the nomination is appalling. With your logic, we can reject any sources such as CNN ("they are favorable to Democrats"), Oxford University press ("they are situated in the mainland of colonial British empire") or any other source. Sikhpride38 (talk) 01:21, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, entirely apalling that we don't consider thecommunemag.com (samvadaworld.com), hindupost.in, hindutimescanada.ca, Know Your Meme, townpost.in, baaznews as RS nor trivial mentions of the term. None of the rationale that you cite has been given above. Interesting that an account, with only 11 edits, that hasn't edited in 3 years suddenly pops up at an AfD and then proceeds to revert SPA tags. Gotitbro (talk) 02:31, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody is defending unreliable sources like Hindupost ans Communemag. You are doubting credibility of even DFRAC, Online Hate Prevention Institute, The Daily Pennsylvanian and other reliable sources. According to your logic, there can be no reliable sources. Sikhpride38 (talk) 02:52, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For DFRAC, I could not find any independent coverage of it as a source beyond media reposts of its 'fact-checks', the Online Hate Prevention Institute lacks a byline and has a single-line mention of the term, The Daily Pennsylvanian is a student newspaper with barely anything to say about the term. Hence, under unsure reliability. These are not the sources that you want to be hedging notability on.
I will note that you have repeatedly reverted the SPA tag added by different editors, very COI. Gotitbro (talk) 04:30, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why should I refuse to defend myself against a mischaracterization? Looks like you don't understand what is a "COI". Back to the actual topic, you are just proving the point that every source would seem unreliable if we used your logic. The Daily Pennsylvanian is used in 100s of Wikipedia article.[64] Sikhpride38 (talk) 04:53, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Daily Pennsylvanian: Usage elsewhere at enwiki has no bearing on why student newspapers should be cited in the first place, lacks sigcov anyhow.
Conflict of interest is removing tags added by uninvolved editors in a contentious topic space. Does not help that a new user with barely a few edits is well versed with AfDs, SPA and COI. I further wonder why you think this is neutral, seemingly furthering racist tropes without any balance. Gotitbro (talk) 05:15, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG; sourcing insufficient and non-independent. EmilyR34 (talk) 06:42, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EmilyR34, Thank you for reviewing this article and sharing your concerns. I understand the importance of ensuring that biographies meet WP:GNG and are supported by independent, reliable sources. With that in mind, I’d like to point out some of the coverage that, in my view, establishes notability for the subject:
  • Keep – Respectfully disagree with the concern about insufficient sourcing. Multiple independent, reliable sources provide significant coverage:
    • The Tribune (24 April 2025) ran a feature profile on Marichi Ventures and Singh’s leadership philosophy, which goes beyond a passing mention.
    • The Economic Times (27 June 2024) covered his recognition at the ET Excellence Awards, establishing notability at a national level.
    • Express Pharma (5 June 2019) listed him as a featured speaker at a DIA India conference, showing industry recognition.
Together, these demonstrate WP:GNG is satisfied. Additional coverage from FTCCI and Kalkine Media further supports verifiability. AbhiTron143977 (talk) 08:10, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Tribune coverage is very thin and tells us very little about the subject. This is not significant coverage.
  • Economic Times clearly says the article is "advertorial" and is not independent.
  • Express Pharma is a short mention of the subject that does not meet the definition of significant coverage.

thank you for your feedback pacific depths, do you have any suggestions for me, i don't want this page to be deleted, i do acknowledge the fact that some of the existing sources are advertorial or limited in depth, i am currently searching for strong independent coverage such as national newspaper or business magazines to strengthen the article. can a redirect to Marichi Ventures be a better alternative if such coverage cannot be demonstrated, I'm open to any suggestions. AbhiTron143977 (talk) 11:38, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
hello pacific depths, I’ve been able to add stronger references from independent institutions, like PHUSE (the world’s largest healthcare data science non-profit) published Singh’s reflections on his work as Asia-Pacific Director, and the Indian Institute of Population Sciences reported in detail on a pre-placement talk he delivered as Novartis Head of Strategy & Operations and PHUSE board member. I understand that not every source will count as “significant coverage,” but I believe these additions show recognition by independent and credible bodies, not just company PR. I also want to be transparent:- I do have a connection here, but I’m trying to stick to verifiable, reliable sources so the article stands or falls on policy grounds, not promotion. If this is still not enough for a standalone page, then, I’m open to a redirect to Marichi Ventures, so the information is preserved in context. AbhiTron143977 (talk) 12:47, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Agree that this does not meet WP:GNG. The sources mentioned are of low quality. For example, the Economic Times article is actually marked as 'advertorial'; The Tribune feature reads like the information was provided by Marichi Ventures; and although I cannot read the Kalkine Media piece, its headline matches the Abluva Inc press release exactly, so it is most likely to be a reprint of that, rather than genuine reporting. Mark Gould (talk) 09:49, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for the feedback Mark Goud. I do agree that the article published in the Economic Times is advertorial in nature and not so independent, and i also with your apprehension that the article in the Tribune could sound promotional, and that the reprinting of the press release is most likely to be that of Kalkine Media. Still, some independent coverage is worth mentioning: e.g., that in June 2019, Singh was listed by "Express Pharma" as a featured speaker at the DIA India conference, and appears in the Leadership Development Program faculty of FTCCI. Although I know that these probably are not sufficient to meet the full requirements of WP:GNG, I am still searching more of them. AbhiTron143977 (talk) 11:43, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    hello mark, i've been able to add stronger references from independent institutions like PHUSE and Indian Institute of population Sciences reported in detail. please check the article and please tell me if its enough, if not, i'm open to any suggestions AbhiTron143977 (talk) 12:50, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I appreciate the hard work you are putting into this, Abhiram. However, the additional sources still don't persuade me that Singh is notable beyond being exceptionally good at his job. Nothing we have seen so far suggests that he meets any of the three criteria in WP:ANYBIO. Mark Gould (talk) 15:41, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG and WP:ENT. The article relies heavily on press releases, interviews, and routine announcements that do not provide significant independent coverage. Most sources are primary or about the movies which he produced. The available third-party mentions do not establish lasting encyclopedic notability. Thilsebatti (talk) 03:14, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Best Feature Film category is often awarded to the producer and is the prize recognizing the producer's work. Producers are considered the head of a film project above the director which is why this prize is typically designed to acknowledge them at film prize ceremonies. That's true of most film prizes with that category such as Academy Award for Best Picture which is the American equivalent of the award won by Garapati in India. Other times it goes to both producer and director such as the BAFTA Award for Best Film. I'd have to look deeper at the by-laws of this prize to determine what's true in this case. Regardless, even if you want to split hairs and say it is to the film; the award makes him pass criteria 4 of WP:FILMMAKER even if the award was given to the film and not the producer. Either way he passes an WP:SNG and is therefore notable.4meter4 (talk) 11:56, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking the time to explain your view. I see where you’re coming from, but I’m not fully convinced that WP:FILMMAKER #4 applies in this case. That criterion talks about someone who has created or co-created a significant work, and from what I understand, producing a film—even one that won a National Award—doesn’t always mean the person was directly involved in the creative side of making it. Unless we can show that his role went beyond financing and production management into actual creative contribution, I’m not sure it fits the intent of that guideline. I do agree the award itself is prestigious and worth noting, but for me it doesn’t seem like an automatic pass under FILMMAKER #4 without clearer evidence of his individual role. Thilsebatti (talk) 12:44, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Again, I think this is splitting hairs, and in a way that general scholarship on film doesn't do. I don't think you are going to find much support that a film with only one credited producer that won the top film prize at a national level isn't going to specifically pass criteria 4c at FILMMAKER.4meter4 (talk) 18:21, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The film he produced won the National Award, which Garapati rightfully holds it. For example, producer Dil Raju received the National Award (source) and (video). Similarly, producer Karan Johar has also been a recipient of two National Awards in 2023 and 2024, as confirmed by official press release by the government of India [65] and [66].
Hence, he is a National Award-winning producer, where he holds it for the film he produced. Viswajith105 (talk) 16:00, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did a simple Google search on this person and only found a few fan-promoted websites.

Multiple reliable secondary sources, including scholarly Islamic websites and books, document his influence as a qari, preacher, and founder of Madrasa Anwar-ul-Islam. His authored works, like Samajiyaat, further establish notability under WP:AUTHOR.
Sources 1 and 7 are not user-generated but reputable Islamic platforms; 8 and 9 are mischaracterized, as they provide context on his Barelvi contributions. Siddiqui’s cultural and religious impact in Sufism meets WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Zuck28 (talk) 14:07, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Zuck28: Do you have any idea what secondary sources are? If you do, please share at least one. The number 1 source is https://www.thesunniway.com and number 7 is https://alahazrat.net . How did you reach the conclusion that these are reputable historical websites? What is their editorial methodology? Their very names suggest that they are fandom-style blogs run by specific groups. According to WP:SELFSOURCE and WP:USERGENERATED, such fansites are generally not acceptable as sources. The only unverifiable primary source is (Ahmad Noori). According to WP:PSTS, Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and avoid novel interpretations of primary sources. All analyses and interpretive or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary or tertiary source and must not be an original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors. So, in that case, we have no secondary scholarly sources to verify the topic's notability.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 17:23, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This combination of high-profile roles, national awards, and sufficient press coverage makes him clearly notable as a public official. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yennavo (talk • contribs) 09:10, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Which of those sources discusses Singh in any depth? Cordless Larry (talk) 13:23, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, I checked the sources for the awards, and they weren't awarded to him personally but to the district of Changlang. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:40, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    While the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Public Administration is technically given in the name of a district, it is awarded at the same time to the District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner, who is in charge of the administration. This is why the Government of India records it on the officer’s official record sheet, rather than just at the district level. The Arunachal Pradesh State Gold Medal works similarly, acknowledging both the district administration and the officer leading it. Therefore, the awards go to Mr. Singh as the head of the district administration. Multiple reliable sources have reported this information. I can provide government references and archived copies of the award citations, if needed, to explain the nature of the conferment. Archivelens (talk) 14:37, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Wikipedia user @Yennavo’s view that Mr. Singh’s role as District Magistrate of New Delhi is important due to the administrative and political weight of this position. His time as Excise Commissioner occurred during a time of intense public attention and received coverage from several national media outlets.
    As mentioned earlier, the awards are formally given to the district, but they are also logged in the officer’s service profile by the Government of India. This shows that they acknowledge the officer’s leadership as well as the district’s administration.
    These key roles, national and state level awards, and ongoing coverage in trustworthy independent sources meet the criteria under WP:GNG for significant coverage and under WP:NPOL for public officials. Archivelens (talk) 14:41, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll ask you the same question as I asked Yennavo: which of the sources provides substantial coverage about Singh (as opposed to just mentioning him or quoting him)? Cordless Larry (talk) 16:15, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the question. The following sources provide substantial coverage of Singh.
    [Source 1] : full length article discussing Singh’s career, contributions, and background.
    [Source 2]: specifies multiple features focusing on his work and impact.
    Other sources such as [3] [4] [5] [6] mention him and are included for additional context. Archivelens (talk) 10:47, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    They're both pretty promotional and I doubt they'd qualify as reliable sources for Wikipedia's purposes. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:50, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for raising this. From what I can see, the Times of India piece and the Hindu article both go beyond just a passing mention. They include biographical details and career milestones that count as real coverage rather than just quotes. The Hindu article in particular gives more local context to his work. I’ve also added a couple of other sources that expand on his role. It would be great if other editors could also take a look and share their thoughts, so we can make sure the article is built on solid references. Archivelens (talk) 16:02, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The Times of India article does mention him, but only briefly as part of a larger bureaucratic reshuffle. This isn’t unusual though, indian media rarely goes deep into the actual work of IAS officers and tends to focus more on the drama and noise around politicians instead. While that single reference alone may not be strong enough to establish notability, it does show that he was significant enough to be included in coverage by one of India’s leading national newspapers. When this is read alongside more detailed reporting, such as in The Hindu and other sources that highlight his responsibilities and role, the subject’s importance becomes much clearer. The TOI piece works best as a supporting citation that adds weight to the overall picture of his prominence. Archivelens (talk) 17:06, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another article with paid-for WP:NEWSORGINDIA sources and other puff pieces. If all of them are excluded, easily fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. Moved out of draftspace by a new editor. Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 16:25, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The subject Kannada News Today meets the general notability guideline as it has received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Over the past months, the article has been consistently improved with verifiable references from established media, addressing concerns of reliability and neutrality.

The topic is a registered and notable news organization, and multiple third-party sources provide substantial coverage that goes beyond trivial mentions, satisfying the requirements of notability for organizations.

Any remaining issues regarding tone or sourcing can be addressed through normal editing rather than deletion, per WP:IMPROVEIT. Deletion would remove encyclopedic content that is verifiably notable and of relevance. Moulyags (talk) 17:13, 13 August 2025 (UTC) *Keep – The subject meets WP:GNG and WP:ORG as it has received significant, independent coverage in reliable news outlets including The Times of India, Free Press Journal, Mid-Day, and Ahmedabad Mirror.

    @Zuck28 Thank you for your feedback. May I kindly ask in which angle you are 100% sure that the majority of the sources are press releases? For example, one of the references is regarding an MLA candidate recently taking charge, which is cited from an official government link along with an NDTV election report, as well as an additional third-party source.
    I truly want to understand how you are identifying them as press releases, so that I can learn and contribute more accurately. As you mentioned, if the concern is mainly about the reliability of sources, I am open to improving the citations with stronger third-party coverage.
    From my understanding, the topic is not only based on press announcements. The recognition received as a journalist and the establishment of an organization were covered in independent reporting as well. If I have missed better references or failed to present them properly, I am more than willing to correct that.
    I genuinely appreciate guidance here, as my goal is to contribute in line with Wikipedia’s sourcing standards and not to create any issues. Moulyags (talk) 09:32, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Probably Delete - due to the well-known issues with Indian media, it is hard to know which are and which are not sources that just regurgitate press releases on topics like this. So ignoring the newspapers, it seems to me that the strongest source is an award by a press association/club. Which itself seems to be in a very small category in a region of India. I could be wrong but I think we'd need to see stronger sources to show that this is a wiki-notable media org. JMWt (talk) 20:07, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Passes criteria 3 of WP:PRODUCER. We have nine films with stand alone articles which the subject has produced. Those all have independent critical reviews supporting them, so the subject clearly meets the SNG guideline. In future reference to the nominator, producers/directors with multiple films that meet GNG on the encyclopedia are likely to meet our SNG criteria.

  • Delete per WP:MILL and WP:BLP. I'm not sure if the proponents understand how little nowadays most producers contribute creatively to films, nor now many thousands there are. We have also, due to pressure from the governments of both the United States and India, to be much more careful about biographies of living persons. Come back in 17 months, when either we can return to normal or we'll still be at war with Eastasia. Bearian (talk) 15:53, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As Berian mentions, movie producers are not necessarily creative contributors; they may be focused on business matters instead. Since he is described as the head of the studio, I would think the latter more likely unless there are sources indicating creative involvement. And if there were sources then we wouldn't be looking to the SNG for guidance anyway. --RL0919 (talk) 15:52, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
