Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India

Shortcuts

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:

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|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.

I can't find any reliable secondary source that mentions this professor. Sources that backed up his achievements are mostly links to Wikipedia pages, and only one source shows that he is a professor in Karnatak University. Also, the article is poorly edited.

Delete per WP:TNT. His citation record could potentially make a case for WP:NPROF#C1, although I think it's borderline at best. But the article as it stands is an AI-generated mess that's almost entirely uncited or cited only to Wikipedia. If someone wants to clean this up it's not impossible that he might meet NPROF, but I'm having trouble finding sources that would allow us to write an adequate BLP in any case. The article as it stands is pretty much entirely unsalvageable. MCE89 (talk) 15:30, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:V and TNT. All sources except the irins link (which is generic and not about the subject) are either WP:CIRCULAR references to Wikipedia itself, or tagged as via chatgpt. Nothing here can be verified and even if it could we would need TNT to eradicate any chatgpt-generated content. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:39, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Self-published material on YouTube is usually not a reliable source, but a newscast from a television station that is normally considered a reliable source does not stop being reliable just because it is uploaded to YouTube. I have not viewed or analyzed the newscasts cited as references, but I think it is likely that at least some of them are reliable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:09, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indian physicist

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I feel like a list of Indian physicists might make sense, but not an article defining an "Indian physicist". This feels more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. BuySomeApples (talk) 10:08, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete We don't even have articles like Physics in (country); I can't see any justification for a "definition" of a physicist who "is connected to Indian origin" – ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 10:23, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @ClaudineChionh, With a good faith, may I know why you can't see any justification for a "definition" of a physicist who "is connected to Indian origin"- Sntshkumar750 (talk) 10:54, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sntshkumar750: § Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Someone who is interested in Indian physicists can browse Category:Indian physicists and maybe add the category to anyone who is missing. Someone who is interested in the history of physics in India can read (and maybe improve) History of science and technology on the Indian subcontinent. Why would we have an article on any combination of country + profession, unless a specific combination is particularly notable? — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 11:12, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear@ClaudineChionh, may I know why do you feel that Indian physicists are not notable. When Boson is coined on the name of Satyendra Nath Bose, a light scattering known as Raman effect is name named after Indian physicist C V Raman, etc. Sntshkumar750 (talk) 11:23, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sntshkumar750: Of course those individual scientists are notable, that's why there are articles about them here. You haven't given any reason for this very broad and vague Indian physicist description to exist as its own article. That is what is being debated here. — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 11:27, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @ClaudineChionh, when those individual Indian physicists are notable, then why not an encyclopedia should be created to give the full description of the Indian physicists in a single page, so that the readers will read about Indian physicists, its histories and contributions in a single article. Sntshkumar750 (talk) 11:37, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sntshkumar750: I feel that we are talking at cross purposes and I welcome feedback from other editors. — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 11:41, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. We already have List of Indian scientists, which includes physicists along with other scientists. Dirac66 (talk) 11:46, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I agree fully with the nominator, but I think repurposing this into a list of Indian physicists with a bit of prose at the start on the history of physics in India would be an easy alternative to deletion. We have articles like List of German physicists, List of Russian physicists and List of Jewish American physicists, and I'm sure there are enough sources about Indian physicists as a group or set to satisfy WP:NLIST. So if the article creator wants to add a new section with a bulleted list of the entries in Category:Indian physicists and move this page to the new title following this AfD, I'm fine with a keep. Otherwise delete per nom. MCE89 (talk) 11:56, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. List of Indian Physicists, maybe OK, but this isn't it. Athel cb (talk) 13:50, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The original page creator has just created List of Indian physicists. This could redirect to that page but it doesn't seem like a likely search term. BuySomeApples (talk) 20:55, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The title on this is very strange, and I believe that List of Indian scientists is just fine. PickleG13 (talk) 21:25, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Perhaps an article like Physics by country would be more essential before we create country specific articles like this one. Ratnahastin (talk) 22:29, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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)

Point 4 of WP:EVENTCRITERIA - Routine kinds of news events (including most .. accidents ..) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable. XYZ1233212 (talk) 15:44, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Sports, and India. XYZ1233212 (talk) 15:44, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – The 2025 Bengaluru stampede clearly meets WP:EVENTCRITERIA for notability. This was not a routine accident but a major crowd disaster that occurred during a significant public event—the IPL victory parade of Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The incident resulted in at least 11 deaths and over 50 injuries, which surpasses the threshold for routine or localized incidents. It has received wide coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources, including Reuters, NDTV, The Times of India, and Al Jazeera. Furthermore, high-level responses from the Prime Minister and President of India underscore the national significance of the tragedy. The combination of scale, media coverage, and public impact justifies retaining this article as a standalone entry. Behappyyar (talk) 15:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Behappyyar, a secondary source is one that takes previous sources and combines them for synthesis and analysis. Breaking news coverage is a primary source that introduces original information. Also noting that neither death count nor the opinions of politicians are part of our notability standards. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 17:51, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Thebiguglyalien. Agreed that breaking news is primary, but there is already contextual and analytical coverage from sources like The Hindu and India Today that meet the definition of secondary sources. The event has prompted broader discussion on crowd control and public safety, including official reviews, which supports notability per WP:EVENTCRITERIA. The coverage goes beyond routine reporting and reflects lasting significance. Behappyyar (talk) 18:01, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

STRONG Keep I am shocked and disturbed at the DELETIONISTS among our editors both Novice and Very Experienced. It is one of the reasons that kept me out... from not editing for years... This is not a Viral phenomena or a Water Cooler accident or a Gas Cylinder blast, accidents that happen frequently in India and get good coverage that appear to be notable. This is a major tragedy that is likely to impact and change the policies and laws of the land that govern security and safety of any major gathering places like stadiums and temple/mosque events. Hence, this article does not come in WP:EVENTCRITERIA at all, is my personal feeling. I have great respect for new editors, as anyone can see from my history of editing here, but unfortunately only yesterday I thought of quitting Wikipedia due to such trends and today I see this. I apoligise to the nominator and request SPEEDY removal of AfD tag! Davidindia (talk) 17:19, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

===Comment. I wanted to refrain from commenting... but I did not get what you mean by only sourcing is media coverage? Kindly read the wiki policies. This in NOT a routine event and for creating Wiki articles, NO historical treatment is needed. Davidindia (talk) 18:38, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Davidindia, WP:GNG says that only secondary sources count toward notability. WP:SUSTAINED says that Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability. WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE says that a burst or spike of news reports does not automatically make an incident notable. Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article. And these are good rules, because it would be absolutely insane if everything that was ever documented in the news necessitated its own standalone article. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 23:01, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to see how this is not a routine event or a local event. For starters, the crowd at the parade was higher than nearly any other parade in world history. 2) 11 deaths and over 50 injuries with the context of taking place at a major event with major media coverage only heightens its significance. RCB literally won their first trophy in 18 years and everybody stopped talking about it to pray for the victims. It took 20 minutes for the Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka to defend himself. I was watching the live reactions on YouTube news and even upto an hour after the stampede took place, people could not believe that what they were watching was real, needing to be constantly confirmed by others that it is.

Keep - Keep AND NOT MERGE – The 2025 Bengaluru stampede is undeniably notable and meets Wikipedia's general notability guidelines as well as those for current events and disasters. It resulted in the deaths of at least 11 people and injuries to dozens more during a high-profile public celebration related to the Indian Premier League (IPL), one of the world’s most-watched sporting events. The event received extensive national and international media coverage from reliable sources including Reuters, Associated Press, The Indian Express, NDTV, and The Times of India. It is a specific distinct event which happened, not related to the cricket final.

Keep: This is an event with a significant number of casualties (11). Many (if not most) recent tragic incidents, including accidental casualties, have their own Wikipedia article. This event is not insignificant. It should have an article.
Wikipedia is meant to be a reference for significant events, places, people, etc. It is a trusted website for information.

As it stands, 2025 Indian Premier League final#Celebrations is the most appropriate target. That places this event in context, gives it visibility, and allows the coverage to grow and be spun out should it achieve the significance of some other incidents that have been mentioned (that are shown to be notable by later investigations and coverage in secondary sources).

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]

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]

Filming has begun but there is nothing notable about the production and since unreleased or upcoming films are seldom considered notable we could also move to draft as an WP:ATD until such time this one is.

Thanks for re-engaging, albeit at AfD. Notability is not inferred based on "filming significantly progressed" or the fact it is part of a notable series. NFF clearly states, "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." Can you point out what is notable about the production? --CNMall41 (talk) 02:22, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Drafty – The film's release date is not yet confirmed, and the page mentions 2026, meaning at least six months remain. It feels like promotion until then. Since it does not pass WP:NFF, the article should be moved to draft until the film is released. -SachinSwami (talk) 16:26, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Chattha Dynasty

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Most of the sources give information about a clan by the name of the Chatthas but nothing about any sort of dynasty. There's already a separate article for the clan any under Chattha (clan) anyway.

Given that it is hard to find any substantive information from a reliable source about a "Chattha dynasty", I feel the article should be deleted and any relevant sources or info can be moved to the article relating to the clan. Ixudi (talk) 15:42, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, Pakistan, and India. Ixudi (talk) 15:42, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are Multiple sources of a Chattha principality/state.

E.g 1. http://archive.org/details/TheEncyclopediaOfSikhism-VolumeIA-d

2.

https://books.google.com/books?id=rKkPEAAAQBAJ&dq=Chattha+rule&pg=PA83

3.

https://books.google.co.uk/books?redir_esc=y&id=lD9uAAAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=Pir

As I explained while removing the deletion template. The name of this page is chosen as "Chattha Dynasty" because all of the ruling chieftains were from the same family.

The order being Nur Muhammad and his son Pir and Ahmad Chathha then Pir's son Ghualm Chattha and then Ghulams son Jan Chattha. So that is why "Dynasty" is an appropriate term.

If the name is the issue that can be discussed separately.

The article should stay on wikipedia space because it highlights a significant regional power in 18th-century Punjab and a less known prospect of punjabi history. Jatwadia (talk) 23:01, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

These sources all refer to a Chhatha clan. Not a dynasty. Ixudi (talk) 15:21, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source 1 clearly mentions a Chattha state on page 449 if you read carefully.

Source 2 "Occupants of areas such as Rasulnagar on the border between the Punjab and afghan lands" this source proves they were independent rulers and not tributary to Afghans and had thier own teritories such as Rasulnagar.

Source 3 clearly mentions Pir Muhammad Chattha succeding a "principality" from his father.

Again the "dynasty" bit is not the issue the point being is that an independant Chattha state/principality existed which was ruled over by the same family that is why it is called a dynasty. Jatwadia (talk) 23:59, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep :In the previous AFD, User:Churn and change provided two sources: The World Health Organization , which is peer-reviewed and offers a factual, neutral, and analytical description of eHealthPoint’s services (telemedicine, clean water, diagnostics, medicines)[22]. The MIT Technology Review Review provides detailed, neutral, and factual information about eHealthPoint’s telemedicine model, service structure, and progress, further establishing its credibility[23]. Additionally, I found other sources: IJCMR is a peer-reviewed journal, but its information is primarily based on eHealthPoint’s perspective, lacking third-party verification or critical analysis, making the article somewhat promotional[24]. The Daily Excelsior article is similar to The Economic Times article, as both provide identical information about the eHealthPoint and Max Healthcare partnership (e.g., covering 400 villages in Bathinda, ₹30 per consultation, and expansion plans)[25][26]. The Newswire source mentions the Genpact-NASSCOM award but is otherwise entirely promotional[27]. The HBS case study on eHealthPoint analyzes its business model, challenges, and social impact, offering valuable insights, though its proprietary nature limits publicly available information[28]. Given the two reliable sources (World Health Organization and MIT Technology Review), the page should be retained on Wikipedia. SachinSwami (talk) 11:18, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop immediately supporting "Keep" just because someone else backs it—use your own judgment as well. SachinSwami (talk) 06:33, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I have reviewed each article you provided. I am steadfast in my position. The articles you gave are significant and trustworthy. CresiaBilli (talk) 03:05, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I retracted my stance due to my mistakes and because the sources are 12 years old, as no current source confirms the company’s present existence. Now, you need to analyze the reliability of the HBS case study, explain why it is reliable, and specify what points are covered in it, as the study is 19 pages long and not visible to me. The MIT Technology Review page, due to the primary sources tag, doesn’t seem fully notable. If there has been any discussion about the MIT source in the context of reliable sources (RS), that should be shown. Most importantly, you need to provide evidence that I retracted my stance because of you. SachinSwami (talk) 07:55, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:I am withdrawing my previous comment. All the sources are from 12 years ago, and no recent reviews can be found on Google. Therefore, there are no current sources about the company, so supporting "Keep" does not seem appropriate. SachinSwami (talk) 06:22, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question please. If a news article about a person's death includes substantial coverage of their early life, career, and accomplishments essentially providing in-depth information directly about the subject, does that count toward meeting the General Notability Guideline (GNG)? Or is such a source discounted just because it's related to their death?Afstromen (talk) 17:45, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reflecting on someone's life is exactly what an obituary does. If they were notable prior to the death, there would be significant coverage about their life during that time.

The subject matter doesn't meet notability according to WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT. It has not received enough coverage in reliable secondary sources; primarily, the content is original and speculative. There is also significant overlap with existing articles on Aulikaras and the Alchon Huns, making the entry a copy. The Red Archive (talk) 18:40, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ambrosia Organic Farm

Coverage on this company is limited to recycled press releases and advertorials (notice the article titles containing terms like "motivating story", "heartening story" and "intriguing story" as well as the lack of a byline).

Keep: The article has more significant coverage demonstrating notability than actual content, hence, deletion is not warranted at this time. Additionally this is an old company established 32 years ago. Passes WP:NCORP. B-Factor 16:50, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Found three more citations; one from The Hindu (a sponsored post), Zee News (Churn), and the third one is from Times of India (a trivial mention). The majority of its media coverage falls under WP:CHURN and WP:RSNOI. Charlie (talk) 03:48, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I concur with the above assessment. While a few sources appear to be promotional or possibly paid placements, publications such as Financial Express, Businessworld, and The New Indian Express are independent and reliable. Their in-depth and substantive coverage is sufficient to establish notability under the criteria for companies. Found coverage in local languages too such as this Jitendra indulkar (talk) 09:22, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is clearly PR-driven churnalism, which ran from mid-2022 to mid-2023. All the articles even the ones I shared, repeat the same narrative, using identical phrases like "David handed over Ambrosia to Janardan Khorate","10 lakhs to 40–50 crore", and "offers rice cakes, pickles, and flavoured peanut butter." Charlie (talk) 10:34, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I’ve read the arguments presented by the other editors above. While there’s no doubt that companies often engage in PR, it’s important to note that all the previously included sponsored content and unreliable sources have already been removed from the current version of the article. The present article now relies solely on genuine and reliable sources (WP:RS), such as The Better India, Financial Express, The Print, and The Statesman, which clearly meet the standards set by WP:NCORP. Therefore, I believe the article meets notability criteria and should be retained. Baqi:) (talk) 07:33, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, they're not. Financial Express is a press release from the FE Lifestyle section, while The Better India is not a reliable source as it is known to publish advertisements disguised as news stories. The article does not contain any citation from The Print or The Statesman, so I strongly suggest you stop relying on WP:LLM tools to generate your comments. Yuvaank (talk) 08:11, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTADVERTISING. The claim that all sponsored content has already been removed appears to be false given that all of the cited sources still appear to be PR puff pieces, and, in a faithful reproduction of the sources, as does the article itself. I suggest if editors advocating for retention find it so difficult to remove such puff pieces, that they start without any of the puff pieces currently included. After learning to exclude such puff pieces when looking for sources, of course. (It is also quite a mystery to me when this removal is alleged to have happened given that there have been two edits to the article since it was nominated) Alpha3031 (t • c) 09:40, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Syed Shah Israil

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article fails to meet the notability guidelines as outlined in WP:N. The subject is not the focus of any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The few mentions that do exist are passing and do not provide the depth of material necessary to support a standalone article. Most of the sources cited are either not about the subject or use it only as a brief example without substantial analysis or dedicated discussion. Given the lack of notability and meaningful coverage, the article does not justify its own space. Deletion or merging into a broader, more relevant topic (if applicable) would be more appropriate. Retaining it in its current state risks violating Wikipedia’s standards. Jaunpurzada (talk) 21:15, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Sylhetis#Other languages. The deepest source is a single paragraph, half of which is about who he was descended from, about his uncle, and about one of his sons. The remainder is just two sentences: "[Syed Israil] was a sufi saint well known for his high proficiency in Arabic and Persian. He was also known as the Malek-ul-Ulama, well-versed in both Arabic and Persian: he wrote Madanul Fauaed in Persian in 914 Hijri." The other sources manage to cover the same ground in one sentence each. Because of the absence of significant coverage, this shouldn't be a stand alone article. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:32, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NAUTHOR and WP:NOTINHERITED. First off, we need an analysis of the reviews, if any, of his books in reliable sources. Next, his tenuous relationship with a famous foundation is not explained. Finally, it's too promotional in tone. Ping me if you can fix this mess of a page. Bearian (talk) 01:51, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is a long list of references but hardly relevant. He has written books but are they notable, Hard to find news about his books. I even couldn’t find any reliable book reviews to understand more about the subject. Neither there are coverage on subject in independent sources. He clearly fails WP:NAUTHOR. Above all article is promoting the individual by language and contents as well. Rahmatula786 (talk) 05:43, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – The article clearly meets both WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR. The article contains citations from:
Times of India – National daily; easily passes “newspaper of record” bar for reliability.^[1]
The Daily Star – Independent, third-party literary criticism → satisfies NAUTHOR #3.^[2]
Indiablooms – National digital news-wire, independent.^[3]
The Telegraph – Independent national daily (mostly popular in West Bengal and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands).^[4]
Trans World Features – in-depth author interview.^[5]

Each of these pieces is non-PR and non-paid. Together they comfortably exceed the two-source threshold of WP:GNG. Publishing credentials:

ISBN citations include works from Rupa Publications – one of India’s oldest mainstream publishers.
N.E. Publishers and Smriti Publishers – both commercial, audited presses (not vanity).

This, plus multiple in-depth reviews (at least on two books), means Victor Ghoshe meets WP:NAUTHOR outright. Additional evidence of lasting impact:

Library holdings: Tomb of God is catalogued in the Kerala State Central Library – the country’s second-oldest public library.^[6]
International distribution: The novel is stocked by Waterstones UK (brick-and-mortar chain).^[7]
Cultural cross-overs: Launches were headlined by National Film-Award legend Soumitra Chatterjee (for Tomb of God) and Sahitya Akademi winner Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay (for Paranormal 2).^[3]

These points strengthen the “enduring, not temporary” aspect of notability per WP:N.

On the Gates Foundation mention: The caption of the image is the only evidence for that collaboration. If this single citation is insufficient, we can remove the claim without affecting notability.

Addressing the objections:

Mentions are not trivial: Coverage comes from mainstream dailies.
No independent book reviews: Daily Star piece is a 1 000-word critique; TOI article devotes its entire feature to dissecting plot and historical backdrop.
Tone is promotional: Agreed. The solution is copy-editing, not deletion.

Second ladies of India

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A niche term at best, a made-up term at worse to promote an Indian counterpart to the American second lady. None of the existing citations mentions the term "second lady" and are only used to support claims that certain persons are wives of the Indian vice president. A search on Google does not yield any evidence of established endonymic usage of the term second lady of India (which is not merely a substitute for vice president wife). Searching "Uprashtrapati Bhawan hostess" also does not yield any quality sources. The role of Second Lady of India (as hostess of the Uparashtrapati Bhavan may not even exist even in unofficial capacity. Or if they do, they don't use the term).

He does not pass WP:NPROF#6 based on his appointment at a private University as he does not have a "highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society."

Religions-Congress.org emphasizes his positive contributions and promotes the organization’s goals, rendering it somewhat promotional[54].

Chinimandi.com focuses on an award with a neutral tone but lacks details on Samir Somaiya’s specific contributions[59]. iiche.org.in, tied to the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE), an authoritative body, mentions Samir Somaiya’s 2023 Platinum Jubilee Award but lacks in-depth analysis[60].

Indian Express focuses on Amruta Somaiya but mentions Samir Somaiya in the context of Kitab Khana’s establishment, with a positive and neutral tone[65].Some sources (e.g., Indian Sugar Mills Association, IIChE) are neutral but raise questions about website reliability. Others (e.g., The Times of India with minimal mention, Economic Times with limited scope, New Woman, ANI, Somaiya Vidyavihar, KAICIID) feel promotional due to their positive tone. The Free Press Journal is neutral but lacks contribution details. Scroll.in and Indian Express are similar sources and among the most neutral, balancing achievements and challenges. Other websites appearing in red are not reliable. Among these, one source is reliable.
