This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Nepal. 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:
- 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.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Nepal|~~~~}} 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 Nepal. 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.

Since this article was created in 2011, it has been based almost entirely on citations to sources either from the ICOR itself or from its affiliate members. Attempts to find coverage in reliable secondary source turned up very little. Neither of the cited secondary sources in this article provide significant coverage, only giving the ICOR a passing reference in the wider context of another subject. A cursory Google Scholar search brought up a few self-published Marxist word documents, and one book about German political parties that only mentions the ICOR in passing.
As I have been unable to find significant coverage of this international organisation in reliable sources, and as notability is not inherited from any of its affiliated organisations, I do not think this meets the notability criteria for organisations and am nominating it for deletion.

- Comment. I believe there may be a language / coverage issue, as this is English Wikipedia, and there are two or three English-speaking organizations within ICOR. I will look into it this week. Castroonthemoon (talk) 21:43, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Most online sources I found were either non-independent or were not in-depth. The one book cited in the article was written by Stefan Engel, former chairman of the MLPD, a member organization of ICOR. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 08:19, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not looking good for significant coverage. Bearian (talk) 02:20, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I have looked into international reports on the organization. There's a surprising amount of information surrounding the group's involvement in Syria, and the hospital that the group built. Castroonthemoon (talk) 05:29, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm leaning towards Keep Castroonthemoon (talk) 05:30, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Unless Castroonthemoon can cite specific sources with significant coverage, I'm leaning delete. The only mention in Swiss media is [1]. Toadspike [Talk] 08:55, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Causing deaths and being reported in the news do not confer notability, and high-casualty bus crashes are common. Fails WP:EVENT. Unable to find sustained significant coverage. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 20:15, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

- Delete This version of this article, which contains no edits by users other than Alirana24, scores as AI-generated by: ZeroGPT (69%), Sapling (97%), and CopyLeaks (100%). Of the six sources cited, only one link leads to a source matching the bibliographic data Alirana24 supplied, and it doesn't support the text where they have cited it. WP:TNT applies. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:11, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete LLM-generated text including hallucinations. Vague topic, because of this dubious notability. WP:TNT. Sjö (talk) 20:12, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: per above. It's high time we amend CSD to be able to speedy articles made by AI, and including LLM hallucinations. Ravenswing 22:46, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
