Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging 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 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and neither does removing an AfD from this page remove it from the main page at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. 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:deletion sorting|India|sig=~~~~}} 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.

Fails WP:GNG. The cited sources are predominantly routine, event-based coverage of protests involving the subject, rather than significant, sustained independent coverage of Neha Bora herself.

Nominating this article for AfD on the behalf of ~2026-53254-19. THEZDRX _{(User) | (Contact)} 12:04, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

Their reasoning is:

I am nominating this article for deletion because I believe the subject's notability as an academic has not been adequately established under Wikipedia's relevant notability guidelines.

The article currently has a notability concern, and I have not found sufficient significant, independent coverage demonstrating that the subject meets the applicable criteria.

I also believe the article should be reviewed under Wikipedia's policies concerning biographies of living persons, particularly where claims are contentious or insufficiently supported by reliable independent sources.

I have no personal involvement in creating the article and am making this request based on Wikipedia's inclusion and sourcing policies. ~2026-53254-19 (talk) 11:34, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

Redirect for now I agree with alot of the "keep votes" but we need to wait untill that happens, a person is not notable at a current point in time just because they might get a medal in the future. shane (talk to me if you want!) 13:14, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for saying you agree with a lot of the keep commenters, predicated upon receipt of future awards and honours.

  Sullenberger has tons of SIGCOV (like literally a blockbuster Hollywood movie where Tom Hanks plays him) that is not directly news coverage of the actual event. As of now, this is not the case for Machchhar. Mausfield (talk) 16:59, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

  Thanks for your keep commentary, Ftrhi, and indeed I've seen multiple media sources discussing popular culture television shows and films to be made about the individual and the incident since your keep comment. One of which was the aviation TV show which taught the passenger how to pull back on the plane controls to increase its altitude. I'll do more research on this as well. Princessa Unicorn (talk) 20:26, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

• Redirect as above, BLP1E applies. GiantSnowman 17:32, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
• Redirect This person is notable to an extent, but I think that for now just having him in a section of the main article makes sense. If he ends up doing more things in the future that increase his notability on his own, like writing a autobiography, that would more justify a stand alone article. Cocoaguy (talk) 18:19, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

• Redirect per WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS (namely point 3 "Who's who", which is very similar to BLP1E). News may cover his background but politicians and heads of state praising him as a "hero" does not change the fact that he is only notable for this single event, and there is ultimately not much additional notable information from the main article, most of it about the incident itself; any relevant career history and the status of his recovery can be added there.

I believe it is too soon for him to receive a separate article under the assumption of further coverage and post-crash fame like Al Haynes, and the earlier referenced pilots/passengers of US Airways Flight 1549 and the 9/11 hijackings which themselves are much more significant incidents that continue to be referenced to this day. Plus, his role in the incident itself is actually not as significant as these examples since he was incapacitated after fighting against the first officer and opening the cockpit door, and it was other passengers and off-duty pilots who regained control of the plane. –Sonicwave ^talk 18:40, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

  @Tvx1 - yes, but WP:BLP1E applies when three criteria are met: notable for one event (true); person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual (see Wikipedia:Who is a low-profile individual; this condition is no longer met); and that event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented (absolutely not true). So the Wikipedia policy no longer applies. Guettarda (talk) 18:29, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

Well, than maybe his article should also be deleted. Also see WP:OTHERSTUFF.Tvx1 22:29, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

• Redirect. Clear case of WP:BLP1E and also WP:CFORK. The point of discussion is not whether this person should be covered on Wikipedia in any way but whether a standalone article for him is warranted. And the answer to that is a clearly no. There is no significant information regarding this person that cannot be adequatly covered in the article on the event. And that is something none of the keep !voters have adressed.Tvx1 22:29, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

  Per WP:CFORK: "Most types of content forks are acceptable". This is neither a POV fork nor a "page of the same type on the same subject", so I'm not sure how that's relevant.

  Plenty of votes, including my own, have addressed WP:BLP1E. All three conditions must be met, and there is a decent argument that the third one is not met in this case.

  ~50% of the article in its current form contains information that would not be suitable for the article on the event, including his early life and career. This has also been addressed by a plenty of votes, again including my own. KikiFur (talk) 01:12, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

  But the early life and career sections are largely trivial and seem to be full of fluff to try and pad out the article. Anything noteworthy can be covered in the main article. Cubnorth (talk) 10:18, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

  It is hurtful to hear this bad faith comment about the early life and career of this living person. Certainly, I'm attempting to carry out research and find information in cited sources in good faith. I agree with KikiFur that there is good information here that should remain in this article and would be overweighted if duplicated in the article about the air incident, itself. Thank you, Princessa Unicorn (talk) 12:10, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

  An observation and opinion is not a bad faith comment. I appreciate the work that you're doing, but in my opinion, it feels like there's a view of more = better in this article, which is not necessarily the case when it comes to notability. A lot of the information does not appear relevant, and relies heavily on trivia and excessive quotations. Cubnorth (talk) 12:18, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

  Respectfully and strongly disagree. But I also thank you for your appreciation of the good faith work I am doing to improve this article with referenced sources. Thank you. Princessa Unicorn (talk) 12:22, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep. First, I think he already passes per WP:GNG based on the coverage. Secondly, he passes even per WP:BLP1E. According to WP:BLP1E, 3 conditions should be satisfied to avoid having the page about the person. 3rd condition: The event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented. But this is exactly such a case here. The role of this pilot was central and well-documented in the event: while being badly injured, he unlocked the cockpit door, which saved all the passengers and the crew. My very best wishes (talk) 00:25, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

  Agree with your keep comments with regards to significant amount of coverage, as well as the central role in the story, and the continued coverage about him that continues to increase. Princessa Unicorn (talk) 22:24, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

• Keep Although the pilot may now be famous for a one-off incident of this nature, its his heroic act to save the pilots in the Flydubai Flight 1073 that warrants him becoming a notable personality in aviation fraternity. Hence I believe this subject passes WP:GNG. There are numerous examples on pilots having their own mainspace Wikipedia article including the likes of Abhinandan Varthaman, and Indian pilot who was captured by Pakistan during the 2019 Jammu and Kashmir airstrikes. Abishe (talk) 00:31, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

There is also the case of Patrick Argüello and Leila Khaled and the attempted hijacking during the Dawson's Field hijackings; the identity of the Omani attacker is gradually coming to light, so I believe Smit Machchhar is becoming a significant figure two days after the incident. ~2026-53150-74 (talk) 01:44, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

• Delete A pretty clear WP:BLP1E. Hemiauchenia (talk) 18:26, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Keep. This biography should be assessed under WP:GNG and should not be conflated with the 2021 deletion of the separate event article "Rashmi Samant racism row", which was deleted pursuant to WP:EVENTCRIT. Whether a particular event merits a standalone article and whether a person is independently notable are distinct questions.

The subject has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources spanning several years. Coverage predates the controversy and includes standalone reporting on her election as the first Indian woman president of the Oxford University Student Union in February 2021 (The Times of India,"Oxford University Student Union gets first Indian female president". The Times of India. 13 February 2021. Mint,"Meet Rashmi Samant, first Indian female president of Oxford University Student Union". Mint. 13 February 2021. and Deccan Herald"Karnataka girl first Indian woman to become president of Oxford Student Union". Deccan Herald. 12 February 2021.).

Substantial coverage also extends beyond the Oxford SU episode. ThePrint published a standalone profile by Unnati Sharma in October 2023Sharma, Unnati (10 October 2023). "Rashmi Samant's life changed after Oxford row. She's an author, runs a company & is feted in BJP circles". ThePrint. examining the subject's subsequent activities, professional work and authorship. Additional coverage exists regarding her later public activities and published work, including coverage of her book A Hindu in OxfordSoni, Mallika (27 September 2023). "'We're treated badly': 1st Indian to head Oxford's student body in tell-all book". Hindustan Times..

This pattern of coverage is not limited to a single event. WP:BLP1E requires all three of its conditions to be met, and they are not: (1) sources do not cover her only in the context of a single event, as the 2023 ThePrint profile addresses her subsequent career and authorship; (2) she does not remain a low-profile individual, having since published two books and worked as a public commentator; and (3) the event was not insignificant, as the 2021 episode drew international coverage and was raised in the Indian Parliament by the External Affairs Minister. The continuing coverage years after the original controversy therefore weighs against a WP:BLP1E characterization.

Any overlap with content at Oxford University Student Union § Rashmi Samant is a question of article organization and editorial scope, not evidence of non-notability. Per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE and WP:PAGEDECIDE, duplication concerns can be addressed through editorial restructuring rather than deletion. NomadBaba (talk) 12:46, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

This SPA registered a few hours ago and has no edits outside this subject. Accesscrawl (talk) 14:20, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

• Delete. The relevant issue is not the number of citations but whether the sources provide significant independent coverage of Samant as a subject. The 2021 Times of India, Mint, Deccan Herald, ThePrint and Indian Express articles largely concern the same Oxford Student Union election/resignation controversy. The 2021 HinduPost article appears less useful for establishing independent coverage because of its close connection to the campaign supporting Samant.

The later 2023 sources are more relevant to the GNG question, particularly ThePrint's profile, although substantial portions of those articles still concern the Oxford episode and her account of it. The key question is therefore whether this later coverage constitutes sufficient significant independent coverage of Samant beyond the original event. In my view, it does not establish sufficient coverage to overcome the GNG/BLP1E concerns.

The fact that she has published books does not, by itself, establish notability under WP:GNG. The existence of the books is distinct from significant independent secondary-source coverage of Samant, and the relevant question remains whether the independent coverage of her as a subject is substantial and extends beyond the Oxford Student Union episode.

Likewise, the fact that Samant was mentioned in the Indian Parliament does not, by itself, establish that she meets WP:GNG. Parliamentary mention may demonstrate that the Oxford episode received political attention, but it is not equivalent to significant independent secondary-source coverage of Samant as a subject. Notability should therefore be assessed from the quality, independence and significance of the available coverage rather than from the fact that the matter was raised in Parliament. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-53265-09 (talk) 20:59, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

This article centers around the subject and his campaign against noise pollution, which I do not believe is a reason for notability and does not meet WP:GNG. There are several articles, however, they all center around his campaign and one incident where he was assaulted. This reads more like a resume of his campaign rather than an encyclopedia article about a truly notable person. FiddleheadLady (talk) 00:53, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

Keep - reading like a resume is not a reason for deletion per WP:Deletion is not cleanup. His campaign against noise pollution is basically his occupation and he's received a lot of coverage (in-article) from WP:RSs on it, plus a bit about him being assaulted also from reliable sources. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 23:01, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

Keep - Bapat has made several arguments beyond the concerns about the noise pollution and encroachment of public spaces for religious festivals. For example, he has criticized religion as a right to do wrong , and also recommended against participating in the Pandharpur Vari. This has attracted police complaints against him for hurting religious sentiments . His peculiar vocabulary has created a cultural impact in form of contrasting his standard Marathi against the degrading quality of colloquial Marathi , and hundreds of independent social media influencers have produced viral videos mimicking his style. His activism against noise pollution has also left a political fallout in form of forcing various leaders in taking sides on the issue. The Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has taken cognizance of his demands . He has become a major flashpoint for state-wide socio-political debate on noise pollution laws , drawing reactions from prominent legal figures and civil rights organizations . The coverage is sustained and analytical, rather than a transient routine crime report. Per WP:ATD (Alternative to Deletion) and WP:CLEANUP, editing and rewriting should always be preferred over deletion. The underlying subject matter is thoroughly notable, and any issues with tone can be easily resolved through standard editing. Doctor joshi (talk) 15:16, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

• @Thilsebatti The sources cited also include independent coverage. The fact that the subject is quoted in a few places as part of a wider article about his career does not make those articles interviews or promotional pieces. These comments r only a small part of the overall coverage and do not make the article promotional. If there is any evidence that the sources are sponsored, please point out which specific source you are referring to.Guy from Kashmir (talk)

Here is analysis of the sources:

• 1. Rising Kashmir is Credible daily English newspaper printed and published online.

You can check their website: https://risingkashmir.com/

I checked the Author is genuine and there are thousands of news articles covered by him.

• 2. Khel now India's leading digital sports news platform covering football, kabaddi, cricket, hockey.

Their website https://khelnow.com . Author has hundreds of sports related articles on his name.

3. Kashmir Images is also a daily newspaper publishing agency. Website: https://thekashmirimages.com/

I don't think there is any chances of these sources being unreliable. Guy from Kashmir (talk)

• Comment: Found a couple sources , , and . Although I doubt they consititute SIGCOV. Dz5t 8O12 (talk) 15:37, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

@Dz5t 8O12: The standard of SIGCOV depends on how much commentary each source makes about the subject. From WP:SIGCOV: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." So if the source only has a single sentence about the school, that is not SIGCOV. If it has two paragraphs about the school, that is SIGCOV.

• In "4-yr-old boy ‘locked in dark room, tortured’. Delhi kindergarten horror in French embassy premises" I don't see an extended discussion on the Lycee itself, so I don't think it counts as SIGCOV.
• "French International School now open for Indian students" does have SIGCOV as the main topic of the article is about how it now has space for Indian students. If The Asian Age is a reliable source (if it has proper fact-checking processes) that would be great!
• "French International School in Delhi now open for Indian students" is also SIGCOV as the LFID is the main topic of that article. While The Economic Times is not listed in Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources my understanding is that it should be a reliable source.

So far two of the three sources have SIGCOV. If The Asian Age is an RS, I will make a keep vote.

You can look for coverage in French newspapers and magazines, including those about French expatriates, for additional coverage.

Appears to fail WP:NFILM. Nothing found in a BEFORE to support notability.

PROD removed because there is “Contemporary reviews are scarce for Bhojpuri films of the 1960s–1990s”. That is exactly the reason why it fails WP:NFILM, because that policy states it needs at least 2 critical reviews to be considered notable. That argument could be used as rationale to keep any film. For example, "Film Name should be kept because it is made by a bunch of college kids and released only on VHS, which those types of films rarely gets any critical reviews...therefore we must keep."

The other rationale for removing the PROD was because it "was the only film in which Sujit Kumar was co-directed by a female filmmaker, Meeni Thakur." and it should pass WP:NFIC because of that. But just because an actor was directed by a certain person is not a reason for a Keep. That rationale could be used for any film, "Actor 1 was directed by Director 1 for the only time in their careers, therefore we should keep that article." There needs to be more of a reason for that to make a film notable. DonaldD23 talk to me 00:08, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

• Author’s Comments: KEEP. I recommend keeping Thakurayeen because conventional evidence of film notability—especially contemporary mainstream reviews—is unusually scarce for Bhojpuri films of the 1960s–1990s. Film scholar Ratnakar Tripathy writes that such films “are as a matter of rule not reviewed in newspapers or websites except for promotional commentaries and insertions” and notes “a near absence of textual analysis of Bhojpuri cinema either in the press or academic circles” (full citation in the article). This is a documented sourcing gap affecting older Bhojpuri cinema, consistent with the systemic-bias concern described at WP:BIAS: “lack of sources and therefore notability causes articles to go through the deletion process of Wikipedia.” This does not mean that the absence of reviews alone establishes notability, nor that every poorly documented Bhojpuri film should have a stand-alone article. Accordingly, I have used the alternative notability route recognized by WP:NFILM / WP:NFIC, under which a film may be presumed notable if it has significant involvement by a notable person and is a major part of their career. The article provides inline reliable sources establishing the notability of the lead actor Sujit Kumar. Thakurayeen was also the first film to be co-directed by a female director, but I do not contend that alone establishes the film’s notability. Rather, I ask that editors assess the available evidence of the film’s notability in light of: (1) the documented limitations of coverage of Bhojpuri cinema during the last century; (2) the film had a significant involvement by a notable person (Sujit Kumar); and finally (3)Thakurayeen was a major part of Kumar's career because it was the first film in which he was co-directed by a female director.Scholar165 (talk) 19:01, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

• Delete. The limited coverage of Bhojpuri cinema in the 1980s does not support keeping the article; articles are kept based on the reliable sources that they have, not based on what they don't have. Furthermore, merely asserting that "Thakurayeen was a major part of Kumar's career because it was the first film in which he was co-directed by a female director" is not enough; I would need to see a reliable source that says that this was a major part of his career. As far as I can tell, most of the sources cited in this article do not actually mention the film Thakurayeen. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:49, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

Subject is a short film released in 2011 that does not have enough sources with significant coverage to meet WP:NFSOURCES. The reception section does not contain two or more full-length reviews and the film was not widely distributed. Many of the other sources merely mention the film in passing as part of the director's debut work. The only potentially usable source I could identify is this Indian Express article, which provides brief coverage of the film and could potentially be considered a capsule review. The other reviews are by non-notable individuals and were published on blogs, making them unsuitable for establishing notability.

Keep. Disclosure first: I have a professional connection with YourStory and work with Shradha Sharma on commissioned projects, so please weigh my comments accordingly.

The nominator has kindly asked for three in-depth SIRS, so I have tried to answer that directly and have left out anything published by YourStory, interviews, and routine announcements.

Forbes India, "2018 W-Power Trailblazers: Meet Shradha Sharma, the chronicler of young startups" (8 March 2018) . A bylined editorial feature about Sharma herself, covering her upbringing in Patna, her education at St Stephen's College, her journalism career at CNBC TV18, and how she founded and self funded YourStory before it raised outside capital. The Hindu, "High above the glass ceiling" [URL]. A feature profile of Sharma covering her background in Bihar and her career in media before founding YourStory. The Tribune, "Internet schools YourStory founder Shradha Sharma after viral 'sit properly' rant at Delhi's Taj Mahal hotel" (October 2025) , with separate IANS coverage in which she was interviewed about the incident. This is independent national coverage centred on Sharma rather than her company, and it postdates the earlier discussions.

Taken together, these show independent coverage of Shradha Sharma as a subject in her own right across several years, which I believe meets WP:BASIC. I'm happy to help trim promotional material from the article if editors feel it needs tightening. ~~~~ CovidBubble (talk) 18:17, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

The forbes article is I can condiser as SIRS, I am not able to see any links of CNBC TV18, I am not able to verify journalists name of The Tribune so this is not a SIRS. Add 2 more sirs, if I feel those 2 are sirs then I am willing to withdraw the Afd. Nomadwikiholic1 (talk) 20:53, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, {{u|Nomadwikiholic1}}, for reviewing these carefully. On CNBC TV18, the ''Forbes India'' piece you accepted [https://www.forbesindia.com/article/2018-wpower-trailblazers/2018-wpower-trailblazers-meet-shradha-sharma-the-chronicler-of-young-startups/49623/1] covers her career there, so I'll leave that point.

The further sources I'd put forward as SIRS are:

• ''Prabhat Khabar'', Shambhavi Shivani (24 October 2025) [https://www.prabhatkhabar.com/education/success-story/shradha-sharma-success-story-sits-crossed-legged-in-taj-hotel-bihar-female-entrepreneur]. A bylined Hindi feature from a major Bihar daily focused on who Sharma is, covering her upbringing and schooling in Patna, her education at St Stephen's College, her earlier media career, and her founding of YourStory in 2008.
• ''The Hindu'', "High above the glass ceiling" [https://www.thehindu.com/society/high-above-the-glass-ceiling/article16658022.ece]. A feature profile of Sharma in a national newspaper, published well before the recent news coverage.

The following may also be considered as SIRS individually as together they show that independent outlets in English and Hindi have covered Shradha Sharma as a person across a decade:

• ''IBC24'' (23 October 2025) [https://www.ibc24.in/country/the-yourstory-founder-went-to-eat-at-the-5-star-taj-mahal-hotel-the-manager-objected-to-her-seating-arrangements-shraddha-sharma-shared-a-video-and-made-the-allegations-3305370.html]
• ''The Tribune'' (24 October 2025) [https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/trending/internet-schools-yourstory-founder-shradha-sharma-after-viral-sit-properly-rant-at-delhis-taj-mahal-hotel/]
• ''Business Standard'' (18 August 2015) [https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/ratan-tata-invests-in-yourstory-115081700158_1.html]

If you feel this still falls short, I'd respectfully suggest draftification rather than deletion, so the article can be strengthened and resubmitted through AfC as further coverage appears. ~~~~ CovidBubble (talk) 03:08, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

I propose merging to 2026 Telangana local elections because, not enough WP:SIGCOV specific to this council, other than the general Telangana elections coverage.. No need for a separate standalone article. Vestrian24Bio 13:52, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

• Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Politics, India, and Telangana. Vestrian24Bio 13:52, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

There are many UK councils with far fewer voters and minimal media coverage, the sources being mostly government websites. Yet

they still have their own election pages.

2024 Runnymede Borough Council election

2023 Runnymede Borough Council election

2023 Ribble Valley Borough Council election

2023 Rutland County Council election

2023 Oadby and Wigston Borough Council election

In fact these go even further in detail by showing the number of votes for all the candidates in each ward, not just the top 2. They have similar or fewer voters in each ward.

These towns are also far less prominent in England than Sangareddy is in Telangana. It is a district capital. Ok123l (talk) 16:24, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

@Ok123l: see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Vestrian24Bio 16:31, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Per WP:OTHERSTUFFGENERAL, comparing articles of the exact same nature is valid when establishing global consistency. I quote:

"In consideration of precedent and consistency, though, identifying articles of the same nature that have been established and continue to exist on Wikipedia may provide extremely important insight into the general concept of notability, levels of notability (what's notable: international, national, regional, state, provincial?), and whether or not a level and type of article should be on Wikipedia."

Ok123l (talk) 16:37, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

@Ok123l: Notability is not decided based on the number of voters or a place's significance. Instead it's decided based on the amount of in-depth coverage on independent reliable sources. The elections that you yourself listed above all have such coverage from media such as BBC. But, for Sangareddy, all of the sources are general sources about the Telangana elections and not specific to Sangareddy elections. Thus, it fails Wikipedia's inclusion criteria to have a standalone article. Vestrian24Bio 13:39, 15 September 2026 (UTC)

• Merge per nom. On other examples shown above, it is my opinion that these would not meet WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, WP:LASTING, WP:SUSTAINED to constitute their own stand-alone articles either (on OTHERSTUFFGENERAL, that would more likely be a case of "Therefore, just pointing out that an article on a similar subject exists does not prove that the article in question should also exist; it is quite possible that the other article should also be deleted but nobody has noticed it", but that is a larger problem of UK local election coverage in the en.wiki (as these articles seem to be created almost automatically by users without actual considerations on SIGCOV) that cannot be properly addressed individually.

This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least three 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 Takeover news is routine business news and doesn't pass WP:CORPTRIV. Announcements of company sales and insolvencies are considered routine news that fail both WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:CORPTRIV and WP:SIRS.

Nathannah • 📮 16:14, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

  The way these Indian national networks work, they have local presenters in each city. (The list of Radio Jockeys on their website shows this; each city has between one and five of their own.) A national network in India requires substantial variation in language and music content, unlike a monolingual or monocultural country where you can have the same music log in each market. And yes, they are almost all on 92.7, per I&B's list of operational private FM stations, which shows 58 Big FM stations. The sole exception listed is Lucknow, where it is on 94.3.
