Removal of Proposed Deletion

Hi @Bearian,

I have removed the Proposed Deletion warning because there are references online that mention this person. There simply needs to be more editing efforts to add that information to the article.

I have added 'Needs additional sources' warning. I hope this is acceptable. Cheers! Kingsacrificer (talk) 21:37, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

That's fine. Thank you for the notice, Kingsacrificer. Bearian (talk) 21:59, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

Mahadev Ranade

@Jonathansammy

Thanks for reverting my edit. It is certainly a strange one.

I checked the library's About Us page (https://punenagarvachan.org/index.php/history/) and even there they mention this.

In establishing the library, eminent personalities namely Justice Mahadeo Govind Ranade, Lokhitvadi Gopalrao Hari Deshmukh, Krishnashatri Chiploonkar, Prof.Kero Laxman Chhatre, Daji Neelkanth Nagarkar, Vishnu Parshuram Ranade, Sonya Bapu Mande, Vishnu Moreshwar Bhide & others took wholehearted efforts with toil & money.

It's so strange. What do we trust? Kingsacrificer (talk) 19:43, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Since we know that a six year child (Ranade) couldn't have been a founder then we have to use our judgement and not include his name.Also the library page is not acceptable as source per wikipedia policy, a source always has to be third party.Thanks.

No, I meant the actual source - Hindustan Times - used it. Should we be reporting that source somewhere? Kingsacrificer (talk) 20:59, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

These days I wouldn't trust newspaper articles for their accuracy. For historical persons and places I start with Google scholar. Also I stop my search at year 2008 because after that even some lazy academics started using Wikipedia as their source. This is what is called "circular referencing". My two cents.
