Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Assam

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

Not a single SIRS is coming up on Google search. Fails WP:NBIO. Nomadwikiholic1 (talk) 11:03, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

• Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Authors, Poetry, and Assam. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 14:44, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

• Keep. A simple google search in assamese brings up a lot of sources talking about him. See and easily meets WP:NAUTHOR Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 15:45, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

  Note for closing admin that Flyingphoenixchips is the article originator, who is currently blocked from article space for overuse of WP:LLMS. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:44, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

2026 Upper Assam floods

2026 Upper Assam floods (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

I propose merging to 2026 Assam floods because the entire state of Assam has been affected with floods throughout the monsoon season, instead of just the Upper Assam region. A special section can be dedicated to highlight the adverse impact in the latter. DesiBoy101 (talk) 18:20, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

• Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Events and Assam. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:10, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Agree. Month-wise or region-wise sections can be made to make it more organized.

Merge per nomination and WP:NOPAGE. If in future the target page gets too large or the sub-subject too significant it can always be spun out again but right now this is the right answer. Samuelshraga (talk) 05:44, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

• Redirect to Dhubri#Colleges, where it's listed, as an ATD-R. Additional searches yielded some ROUTINE and TRIVIAL reportage but nothing with SIGCOV to warrant standalone notability. BhikhariInformer‬ 📮 ^{(Ping me or else I won't see it)} 02:29, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
• Keep It's an established college which has WP:SIGCOV it passes WP:GNG. Staticspector (talk) 13:45, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:20, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

• Merge to Gauhati University. Not enough SIGCOV for standalone article, but merging the information from the article into Gauhati University is the best. Sof1a510 (talk) 04:07, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Redirect with Dhubri#Colleges Not obscure enough for a deletion but doesn't have SIGCOV. An editor from Mars (talk) 06:27, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

• Redirect to Dhubri#Colleges. Or List of colleges affiliated to the Gauhati University#D but that article is a mess with dubious notability and terrible sourcing, so I prefer Dhubri#Colleges. –Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley$\lor$investigateᛅ} 15:42, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
