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.

Llm-generated page including llm-generated sourcing. The sources bear minimal relationship to the text they are citing. For example, the first source in the lead supports essentially nothing in the lead, and similarly does not support its use in the Women's Contributions and Gender Disparities section/paragraph. That most are abstract pages that link onwards to a proper source is a further indication of an llm trying to find something vaguely related to the article title.

• Delete per WP:ESSAY. The topic could conceivably be notable, but the article is just a roundabout listing of general issues related to informal economies, with practically nothing specifically said about the informal economy in South Asia. Nicely-arranged but informationless LLM drivel. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 10:59, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I am the original creator of this article. I would like to clarify that "Informal economy of South Asia" was written entirely by me without the use of any large language model (LLM) or AI tool. At the time of writing, I had no knowledge of ChatGPT or LLMs — I only learned about them later during a Wikipedia discussion, which is visible on my user talk page.

This article was written using basic tools like voice typing, grammar correction, and manual research using Google and YouTube. My goal was to contribute meaningful, regionally relevant content. I am from Pakistan; my native language is Urdu, but I studied English literature, which may explain why my writing appears formal or academic — but it is entirely my own.

I want to address the sourcing issue directly. Contrary to concerns raised, the sources used in this article are real, relevant, and were selected manually by me. They reflect authentic research on the informal economy, with references from organizations like the ILO, World Bank, UNDP, academic journals, and regional institutions. These are not hallucinated or AI-suggested sources — they were chosen carefully through topic searches on Google Scholar and official websites. If any citation format is incorrect or a link is too abstract, I am willing to revise and improve the formatting. But the content is valid and based on serious research.

I also wish to clarify a comment about my “sudden replies” possibly being AI-generated. Actually, I use voice typing and grammar correction tools (like Google Keyboard), which allow me to respond quickly and clearly — this does not mean I used a chatbot. In fact, AI-generated responses take time to write, review, and copy. My communication style is shaped by my education and tools, not by AI.

I have openly admitted that I used AI assistance in **other projects**, such as the article "Prevention of World War III" (for referencing help), and for Urdu translations (because my Urdu writing is weak). But this article — “Informal economy of South Asia” — is my own, and it reflects a more personal, manual writing style.

Finally, the article was accepted, remained stable for more than 7 days, and can be further improved if needed. I respectfully request that it be retained and improved, not deleted.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

  Thank you for your input. I’d like to provide clarification and context on Syed Mosharaf Hossain’s notability, especially beyond the surface-level view of awards and basic sourcing.

  🔬 1. Invention & Innovation: Safety Shoe for Farmers

  While it may appear modest at first glance, the safety shoe innovation was recognized by grassroots technology networks and national-level education-focused NGOs, including National Innovation Foundation–India and the India Science Wire. His work has been demonstrated at regional science exhibitions (e.g., Paschim Banga Bigyan Mela) and reported in regional media as a functional solution adopted by small-scale agricultural communities in rural Bengal. It goes beyond a one-off idea—it’s an application-driven invention with social utility and adoption, which is a key indicator of applied innovation notability in developing contexts.

  🏅 2. Awards and Recognitions – Not Trivial

  The awards may seem local in nature, but several (like those from Asia Book of Records, Positive Barta, and Grassroot Innovator Forums) are curated via peer review and field validation, particularly in the education and rural development sector. These recognitions are third-party validations of social impact, not just self-nomination trophies. He was also selected as Principal of the Year (2024) by a consortium of skill-development organizations under the Directorate of Technical Education in West Bengal.

  📚 3. Reliable Secondary Sources

  Though not abundant in Google Scholar due to the nature of his work (not academic), his profile and work have been:

  • Covered by leading Bengali newspapers such as Anandabazar Patrika and Ei Samay in regional editions.
  • Highlighted by Bangla-language educational YouTube channels, regional digital portals, and field reporting platforms covering Bardhaman and Nadia districts.
  • Listed as a featured speaker and delegate in two district-level government innovation workshops (verified by district administration websites).

  🛠️ 4. Scope of Impact

  Syed Mosharaf Hossain is not just an inventor but a grassroots education reformer, having led multiple campaigns for inclusive skill education for rural girls, ITI modernization, and anti-dropout programs for economically marginalized students. These initiatives have been independently referenced by local government circulars and panchayat reports, and his role as Principal of a Government ITI has seen him directly involved in state-level technical outreach.

The 2023 version of these awards was closed as a result of an AfD last year as a redirect (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zee Marathi Utsav Natyancha Awards 2023). CNMall41 and at least one other editor have redirected this as per that afd's result, but they keep getting reverted by ip editors, who never improve the article. CNMall41's rationale for the other year also applies here: "Fails WP:GNG.

Issues from previous AfDs have not been resolved in this recent recreation of the article. Namely, the sources still do not meet WP:CORPDEPTH and thus fail to establish notability. Also, the third AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Winzo was mistakenly closed as "soft delete", as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WinZO and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WinZO (2nd nomination) already previously existed. GTrang (talk) 04:34, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The current version of the article shows clear evidence of notability per WP:CORPDEPTH. Unlike the earlier drafts, it now includes substantial independent coverage from major, reliable news sources such as Reuters, Economic Times, Forbes India, and Inc42. These sources discuss not just funding or product launches, but significant developments like legal disputes with Hike, an antitrust complaint against Google being investigated by the Competition Commission of India, and real-world policy engagement around platform regulations.

The company has also shown measurable financial success. It reported over ₹1,000 crore in revenue in FY 2023–24 and a profit of over ₹300 crore, which is independently reported and verifiable. The platform is expanding internationally, including a $25 million investment to launch in Brazil, again covered by independent sources.

The article now meets notability criteria because it documents more than routine coverage, it includes sustained, in-depth reporting on conflicts, legal challenges, and its role in shaping digital policy. This is a notable player in India's online gaming and digital economy space. Previous concerns about PR-heavy content or lack of depth no longer apply. Recommend retaining the article.

@Falcon Kirtaran I don't see any press releases. Several citations are actually down, so I cannot say if they are press releases, but besides those we have a few that are not press release, such as Financial Express, EconomicTimes, and Inc24. Which do you refer to as a press release? Press release should clearly state that it is a press release and often has company info such as the ABOUT section and contact info on the bottom. Maybe you are mistaking articles that were written based on announcements, but in my opinion an article written based on company announcement as long as not copied word by word is considered a legit coverage. If that was not the case, majority of of wiki articles should be deleted. For example if Apple announced a new OS, should all the articles written about it be considered a press release, hence we should not have such articles used as a citation? I see that I may be in the minority opinion here, but if I am wrong, please point me out the proper Wiki policy regarding what is considered a press release. Darkm777 (talk) 01:37, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Press releases often do not directly state that they are a press release, but they generally present single-source un-analyzed factual information that is ultimately sourced from the company's own announcement. Often times, news outlets will republish press releases verbatim or nearly verbatim; this does not amount to notability.

There are a great, great many Wikipedia articles about companies that should be deleted, because for some reason many people view it as important that their company have a Wikipedia article. This, as decided before so many times, is one of them. It is for this that salt is the right answer.

The Financial Express article you post is a perfect example of a dependent reference published by a media outlet. It does not go to notability because it would need to be an independent source. A dependent source is one that relies primarily on the subject itself as a source for information; that article is mostly literal quotes from the subject. The second article I cannot read. The third, from Inc24, is different; it is a dependent source of WinZo and Hike together, and describes only the lawsuit; the single event does not make for significance. In general there should be many sources about many different topics. That is part of why this article is so commonly deleted. I am amending my !vote to include salt.

Sources are primarily press releases, passing mentions and non-independent sources. Devdiscourse.com has no byline, newsrelease.in is a press release site and the articles published on June 16th and 19th are also press releases. Similarly, Amazon’s announcements on March 19th and 20th are promotional materials about their lineup.

  @Jeraxmoira Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to review the Uppu Kappurambu article again. I understand the concerns regarding the initial batch of sources being primarily promotional in nature. To address that, I’ve now added new references from reliable, independent, and well-established publications, including, Filmfare, Deccan Chronicle, The New Indian Express,The Times of India. These updated sources provide independent editorial coverage of the film and go beyond simple announcements or press releases. They discuss the film’s premise, cast, production details, and streaming release, contributing significantly to establishing notability under Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines. Kindly requesting a fresh look at the article in light of these improved sources. If there's anything specific that still needs to be addressed, Please do let me know, I'm open to work on it!

  Cheers! Thesazh (talk) 12:03, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The two latest sources you added do not have a byline. The article from newindianexpress.com was provided by Press Trust of India, indicating that it is a press release. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 15:17, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Jeraxmoira the coverage does not appear to be promotional in tone but rather provides factual reporting on the film’s release, plot, cast, and context within the industry, which I believe contributes to demonstrating notability, That said, I am continuing to look for more independent reviews or interviews that provide deeper coverage. I’d be grateful for any further guidance or specific types of sources you’d recommend in strengthening the article’s standing.

Sources from chessbase.in are WP:SPS, and thesportzplanet.com, perlenvombodensee.de, and fountainink.in are more like blogs with little or no editorial oversight. To clarify, ChessBase has existed since 1986 and the Indian version was only co-founded by him. Claiming that “they founded the most successful chess journalism/media company ever, and are one of the most well-known media figures in chess” reflects your bias and is not policy based.

No, Perlen vom Bodensee is not just a blog, [13], it is a very reliable source, also trusted by de-wp, for what it's worth. - Squasher (talk) 13:18, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please double check? Because from what I see, the only author who consistently writes on Perlen vom Bodensee is Conrad Schormann, who is also the founder. Six articles were written by Stefan Löffler and a few by Roland Neumeier. The translated DE wiki article states that "The site's editor is Conrad Schormann, who is supported by a team of 18 authors.", which I believe is misleading based on what I’ve seen so far and the fact that the article has very few edits also doesn’t help its reliability. In any case, having a page on DE wiki doesn’t automatically make the source reliable, especially since the standards on EN wiki are significantly higher, which I believe you already know. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 15:34, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to add or to check. I saw the article this afternoon by chance and also the the AfD, with a comment I did not completely agree and just wanted to leave a note that might help. The source is viewed as reliable in de-wp by the chess portal, if you do not agree, that is fine for me. Sagar Shah is at least in my eyes a relevant topic for someone like me, who follows chess purely from an interested viewer point of view. He is very well known in the chess eco system, in de-wp he is notable already just by having reached the IM title. If he doesn't meet the criteria here, because no sources can be found, that are seen as sufficient, so be it. - Squasher (talk) 20:19, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Their initiative, Micro Premier League, had its last Facebook post in 2018.

Profiles and inclusions on lists are generally no good for showing notability; a company has to become socially significant and therefore will receive in-depth, contextualized coverage in multiple WP:RS before a Wikipedia article is appropriate. FalconK (talk) 03:17, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Hi FalconK

  I can research and look for more reference links. I am not sure why Ref 1 is deemed 'obviously not independent', because I don't see a disclaimer or a similar suggestion there. What I am understanding is that profile-based articles should be ignored. Please correct me if I am wrong and also share guidance. Supriya.jain2511 (talk) 05:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's more nuanced than that, but it's quite rare for profiles in the business press to be useful in establishing notability because the business press is notorious for doing these profiles in exchange for cash or access, rather than as a result of genuine public interest in the subject. The source, Prime Insights Magazine, does not have a discernable editorial policy; we can't even tell if or how they fact-check; this makes the source unreliable. It does not have an ISSN. No databases seem to index it. The article has no byline. This all makes it seem somehow even less reliable than the sources mentioned as being suspect in WP:RSNOI. The article appears to rely, for all its information, on the subject itself and quotes from people closely associated with it (such as its founders); this makes it a dependent source. It describes the company in glowing superlatives, while doing little to contextualize the company, so it does little to establish notability. FalconK (talk) 06:54, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi FalconK

    Thank you for the explanation. It was helpful. I also checked the ISSN and found that it doesn't exist. This is a new learning for me.

    I have removed this citation. Hope this helps. I am keen on retaining the page because of the credibility and authenticity of the business. I believe that 1200 stores across India is a significant and notable feat. Supriya.jain2511 (talk) 16:29, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:SERIESA, WP:NOTWEBHOST, and WP:RS. The page reads like a franchise agreement, not an encyclopedia article. We are not a web host. The sources are not reliable; trade magazines tend to publish verbatim information that is handed over to them. Again, the more of this type of page is further ammunition for the richest man in the world to persuade his on/off patron to destroy our business model. Bearian (talk) 22:41, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Hi Bearian

  This page is not a franchise agreement or being developed with ulterior motives. There is base for notability which lies in multiple facts, including:

  1. The business has attempted to organize the laundry operations segment in India. No other company has done that before Tumbledry.
  2. They have over 1200 franchisees in India.
  3. Their business model is unique and has helped entrepreneurs across India through its franchisee model.
  4. They have never raised external funding and have already reached breakeven point in revenue terms. A lot of startups end up taking funding for the sake of it. Also, it is unfair to claim that all content published by trade magazines is paid content. This is entirely baseless. I do not treat Wikipedia as a webhost. This is a grave misinterpretation that you are making and I would request you to refrain from making such suggestions. While I am happy to edit the article to ensure that it meets Wikipedia's guidelines, I would request you to share pointed suggestions for improvement.

  Supriya.jain2511 (talk) 10:05, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The fundamental issue here is that you are treating the existence of a Wikipedia article about this company as a reward that the company is entitled to for success, whereas a Wikipedia article comes subsequently to significant independent coverage in reliable third-party secondary sources, which generally happens as a result of social significance. Consider the difference between the best possible article that could ever be written about this company, and then contrast that with the articles that are already written about Nortel, Microsoft, or Ford Motor Company. FalconK (talk) 11:32, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Hi FalconK

  Thank you for the references. I checked the content and they are well written and sourced well. While I understand the difference, I would also like to share that Tumbledry is a much smaller company as compared to the likes of Nortel, Microsoft and others.

  Also, when I stated the points in my previous message, I wasn't suggesting that the page be created because the company is successful, but because it has significance. Some of the references like The Hindu, The Economic Times, SMEStreet Edit Desk, and CINET are valid and credible third-party platforms. I also referred to their ISSNs and WP:RSPSOURCES to crosscheck the authenticity. Supriya.jain2511 (talk) 09:14, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Initially even I thought that this article should be redirected, but when I looked at similar such articles of NFL and NHL, I realised that when the league will grow in years, broadcasters will change and there will be too much information to keep on the main IPL article. So we can put it all here and only summarise there. Also we can include various broadcasting/viewership records and stats here.

So I support in keeping this article here, as said above by other users aswell. Editking100 (talk) 21:26, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Editking100: see WP:OSE, Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Vestrian24Bio 03:04, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at WP:OSE as per you said, and my vote may not have followed the counterargument clause there, but my sole objective was to give information on the context (relevant here) wrt to other leagues doing the same and nothing else so I mentioned them here as a base example. I will not repeat it again, thanks for noting it to me. Editking100 (talk)

Your argument when the league will grow in years, broadcasters will change and there will be too much information to keep on the main IPL article is WP:CRYSTAL-based speculation. When and if the league grows and there becomes too much information to keep on the main IPL article, adding a spin-off article can be considered. But certainly not now. Frank Anchor 14:46, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can verify yourself, there is currently 4x or 5x more information on broadcasting here in this article as compared to the main IPL wikipage (broadcasting section). So this was my reason above when I said, I am in support for Keep here, considering we already have more information to fill a spinoff article currently citing 48 sources, which isn't included in the main page.

• Strongly Oppose:

The Article is part of a wider Naxalite-Maoist insurgency in india which have been ongoing for decades, its a low-level insurgency for past many years so mass casuality events are rare.

Only two articles represent a mass casuality event in the insurgency in the whole year of 2024 one is above mentioned and the other being 2024 Abujhmarh clash, so it not just a regular news and the event have been reported by Foreign media outlets, which is rare.

From a wider perspective, articles that represent mass casualities of the maoist rebels have been targeted for deletion recently. Eg:-

• 2024 Kanker clash
• 2025 Bijapur clash
• 2025 Abujhmarh clash

It is part of a larger operation ongoing since 2024 to end the insurgency by March 2026.

While articles which portray Government casualities have been left out from deletion even though they are underdeveloped and represent less casuality events like

• 2021 Sukma-Bijapur attack
• 2017 Sukma attack
• 2018 Sukma attack
• 2023 Dantewada bombing
• 2025 Bijapur Naxal attack

Deleting this article and leaving out the others will shift the neutrality of the Insurgency, with possible downplaying rebel casualities and highlighting government casualities observed for wikipedia viewers. Golem469 (talk) 08:47, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  KEEP or MERGE with the other clashes. The incident itself is notable due to press coverage by RS. Dualpendel (talk) 19:48, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Stong Oppose: The Above mentioned 2025 Bijapur clash is part of a wider Naxalite-Maoist Insurgency in india, which have been ongoing for decades. As of 17 June 2025,the above mentioned incident was the single event causing most casualities for the rebels in 2025. The incident was reported by foreign media which is rare and would not occur if it was a regular clash. Only Four articles exist in 2025 linked to incidents in Insurgency, the other three being 2025 Abujhmarh clash, 2025 Bijapur Naxal attack, Operation Black Forest.

As in a wider perspective, articles that portray mass rebel casualities have been targeted recently for deletion. For example:-

• 2024 Kanker clash
• 2024 Abujhmarh clash
• 2025 Bijapur clash

While articles that portray Government casualities or articles that are poorly written or portray less notable events and casualties are kept in wikipedia like:-

• 2021 Sukma-Bijapur attack
• 2017 Sukma attack
• 2018 Sukma attack
• 2023 Dantewada bombing
• 2025 Bijapur Naxal attack

The above mentioned articles are of the same insurgency as the 2025 Bijapur clash, many are less notable event than this. Deleting the article will automatically shift the neutrality of wikipedia, with possible portrayal of only Government casualities events and downplaying rebel casualities by deleting those articles.

• Keep:

According to WP:NOTNEWS, it discourages documenting every routine or transient news event, this is not one. The article does not summarize daily news, but rather a major event.

Presents lasting consequences, such as shifts in the decades long insurgency, since the leader of Maoists Nambala Keshava Rao was killed in the event, who leaded the group for many years and regarded as tye most wanted maoist in india.

WP:EVENT says that a military or political event may be notable if it has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and has broader implications.

The 2025 Abujhmarh clash involves organized armed conflict in a geopolitically sensitive region indicating lasting socio-political relevance beyond simple news reporting.

The clash reflects a pattern of ongoing Maoist insurgency, which is widely documented and considered a national security concern. This establishes enduring encyclopedic interest.

The event also even got analysis from post-event sources establishing that the event has had a sustained impact.

Many military clashes or terror-related events (even with limited source dates) are maintained on Wikipedia because they are part of wider historical and conflict narratives (eg: minor battles in Iraq War, Naxalite incidents in past decades).

Deleting such an article would be inconsistent with established treatment of similar entries like:

2010 Dantewada ambush

2021 Sukma-Bijapur ambush

2013 Naxalite attack in Darbha valley

Artiicles like this exists which may not have a broader implications on the insurgency but the 2025 Abhujmarh Clash, truly have a impact on the insurgency.

It should stay in draft because it does not meet WP:NFF. Nothing in notability guidelines that says it receives inherent notability for having good sources or top Indian stars. If you are comparing to War 2, that draft has way better sourcing and at this point could be argued that meets WP:GNG. So the question is why should that stay in draft if this one is live?

Thanks for your interest in this article, Anish Shah qualifies under WP:GNG, as he's the CEO of Mahindra group which is in India's top 25 companies. And he has significant coverage in reliable, independent sources as far as I researched after founding this article via Special:Random/Draft.

@IVickyChoudhary: Being connected to a notable entity does not grant notability per WP:INHERIT. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:06, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree that notability is not inherited by association per Wikipedia:INHERIT. However, the argument for keeping this article is not based solely on Anish Shah’s role at Mahindra Group, but on his own notability, which is independently established through. Multiple reliable and independent sources that provide significant coverage of his leadership, strategic decisions, and business vision as Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Group. Kindly search on Google about him. iVickyChoudhary (talk) 06:31, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

References say he's a businessperson doing business things. That's not SIGCOV. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:11, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your review. While I understand the concern that "businessperson doing business things" doesn't automatically imply notability, I respectfully argue that Anish Shah meets the WP:SIGCOV, and WP:GNG.

He has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources such as Forbes India, Economic Times, and Business Today, which profile his leadership, strategic direction, and impact at Mahindra Group. This coverage goes beyond routine job announcements, it reflects independent journalistic interest in Shah as an individual business leader, not merely in the company he leads. His coverage is not trivial, routine, or tied to a single event. I will continue to improve the article by adding more sources that fulfill WP:SIGCOV and will restructure the article to reflect their depth and focus. iVickyChoudhary (talk) 07:58, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-advertorialized article about a not yet released film, not properly sourced as the subject of sufficient production coverage to pass WP:NFF in advance of release. As always, the rule is not that every film is automatically entitled to an article the moment it enters the production pipeline -- generally speaking, a film is not notable until it has been released and been reviewed by professional film critics, and has to show a significant volume and depth of production coverage to claim notability in advance of release.
But this is referenced entirely to three short blurbs about the release of its promotional poster, and all three of those short blurbs are worded virtually identically despite coming from three supposedly different sources -- meaning that either one publication originated the piece and the other two just reprinted it, hence adding up to one GNG-worthy source, or all three publications essentially just published the producer's own self-created press release, hence adding up to zero GNG-worthy sources.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation after the film has been released, if it garners enough critical attention to pass GNG on proper third-party coverage -- but three virtually identical articles about the release of a film poster is not enough to get an as yet unreleased film over the notability bar all by itself.

S0091 (talk) 15:12, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  His role in Padakkalam is clearly significant and can be considered a "starring role" and is certainly not "toward bottom of (the) cast list". Please see this article in The Hindu; he's on 3 of the 4 film stills in the article. Can we redirect to the Cast section of that film (at least for now)?

  @Artus Sauerfog Dark-Eon cite that Hindu source in the article so it is at least there as part of the history if it ends up either being deleted (which can be restored) or redirected. You might be right about Padakkalam...maybe not starring but at least a significant role. The only issue I have with it being redirected is he is part the cast in other works and if redirected a reader will only get pointed to one them.

Why is a random thing in Kolkata promoting a film festival named after a man whose estate certainly would not approve of their namesake being part of an 'exposure only' film festival, again ran out of an overcrowded apartment complex?

• Delete – Of the references for DestaGlobal, Startup Success Stories India, Techcircle, Business Standard India, The Hindu Business Line (partially neutral), InterCon Dubai (YouTube), EVENTFAQS Media, Rural Marketing, and Digital Empowerment Foundation are focused on DestaGlobal’s success, awards, and positive impact. Most of these are based on the company’s claims without independent verification. The National and The Hindu are references that adhere to journalistic standards, providing neutral information about DestaGlobal’s work, but they lack detailed information. Hence, they are not sufficient to strongly support the claims. Some people may have different opinions about these two sources.-SachinSwami (talk) 7:01, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Fails WP:NFF. Attempted redirect as an WP:ATD but that was objected to. Filming has begun but there is nothing notable about the production, sources are all promotional announcements, WP:NEWSORGINDIA, or otherwise unreliable. Fails WP:NFF which says " films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." Release date is a year away as well. CNMall41 (talk) 15:06, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and India. CNMall41 (talk) 15:07, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The same article Wikipedia:NFF says "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date. The assumption should also not be made that because a film is likely to be a high-profile release it will be immune to setbacks—there is no "sure thing" production. Until the start of principal photography, information on the film might be included in articles about its subject material, if available. Sources must be used to confirm the start of principal photography after shooting has begun."

  3 schedules (Mumbai, Goa, Uttarakhand) are confirmed to be complete per reliable sources and 4th one (UK) is almost complete (started towards end of April). So majority of the film has been shot. It satisfies the principal photography condition.

  "Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines."

  This is over-ridden by the above as I mentioned. Plus its not that film has just begun shooting. Shooting is almost close to completion Computeracct (talk) 04:56, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Not the proper reading of WP:NFF. Outcomes of deletion discussions have found that. 1 - If filming has not begun, it should NOT have its own page and if filming has begun then information can be put in related pages such as list, etc. as long as there are reliable sources to support. 2 - Until the film is released, it should NOT have its own page UNLESS there is something notable about the production.--CNMall41 (talk) 05:10, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't read about previous deletion discussions. But I am not sure how I misread the principal photography section. I'm fine with keeping this in draft mode till it becomes notable. See below. Computeracct (talk) 17:16, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Drafty – The film, scheduled for release on 10 April 2026, does not currently meet WP:NFF as it has not been released and lacks significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Placing it on Wikipedia now could be considered promotional, as per WP:PROMO. The article will likely become notable after release through reviews and coverage. Therefore, it should remain in draft space, as it does not yet pass WP:NFF. Over the next 10 months, the frequency of attempts to move this page to mainspace and the number of editors involved will indicate whether the page is promotional in nature. I propose keeping it in draft until it meets notability criteria. -SachinSwami (talk) 16:08, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If the main space title is protected then no problem, but OP has already objected to an WP:ATD. I have seen too many times where users use this as a way to circumvent the AfD process. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:18, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any sources by which to judge the school to be notable, with WP:NCORP being applicable to this private business institution. The sole reference in the article seems to be lost, but based on its title ("NIA: 100% placement with highest package of Rs 10.5 lakh per annum") and what had been referenced to it, it seems to have been a PR-push.
