Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Assam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

I propose merging to Insurgency in Northeast India as per WP:MERGECLOSE and WP:STUB.maintaining this topic as a standalone article is not viable due to a permanent lack of reliable sourcing. Yeah things might change in the future and we can definitely revisit it then. However as it stands now there are not much sources to fully warrant an article. Most sources simply are just news about the group’s activities.Moreover readers would be far better served by a merge into the regional article. This consolidates fragmented information, provides essential context on the regional conflict (WP:CONTEXT), and ensures the content is actively maintained under a well-watched page (WP:PRESERVE).also there has been like 0 news on them since the past 4-5 years and the group itself is defunct.

All I can find is sources about the film Gorai Phakhri where she played a lead role. No significant coverage exists beyond routine coverage in these sources. Fails GNG and NACTOR. Thilsebatti (talk) 06:00, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

  • Note: this discussion has been included in the list of Assam-related AfD discussions. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 06:19, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete: The sources cited provide passing (or no) mentions, and therefore don't come even close to meeting GNG, and there is nothing in this to suggest NACTOR would be satisfied either. Note: given that this is the 2nd AfD, and this version of the article has been draftified already which the author objected to, I am specifically !voting 'delete' rather than 'draftify'. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:23, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
    with the recent update of the page with the subject's works and filmographies, I hope the page is meeting all the criteria to be a standalone and independent Wikipedia page as per the WP:NACTOR.
    I strongly feel and hope that all the issues regarding the subject's work and filmographies has been solved successfully now and if it is so then the Notice should be removed at the earliest. Thank You. Laogaa45 (talk) 02:51, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep: as a regional artist the subject has limited published sources that's the reason why her other works have been ommitted initially. However, now I have updated with her works and filmographies (music videos excluded) and I feel that now the page is meeting the Wikipedia criteria and the notice should be removed at the earliest. Laogaa45 (talk) 03:26, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
  • KEEP: Helina Daimary's contributions to the Bodo-language cinema and the regional music and film industries are what make her worthy of a standalone independent Wikipedia page rather than a redirect or deletion. She is highly celebrated in the region and has a solid fan following. Her work in the film Gorai Phakhri (Wild Swans), where she was praised internationally for her performance in the film, is another reason why the page should be kept. She starred in a music label produced by and sung by the national playback singing icons Papon and Shreya Ghoshal, respectively, again, proving why she needs such credibility.
Her decade-long career in the entertainment industry with international acclaim must be an inspiration rather than an ignorance or a deletion just because of the limited published sources, this might be a case of WP:BIAS/WP:SBEXT. I am literally voting for a KEEP of the page. The notice looks like nothing less than bullying and an attempt to neglect the regional talent. Girii101 (talk) 04:14, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
  • With respect, WP:NACTOR does not say "any actor who has played a lead role in a notable film", but rather "has had significant roles in multiple notable films, notable television shows, stage performances, or other notable productions"; note esp. the word "multiple", which is germane here. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:33, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Please do not use LLM or other AI-based tools to generate your comments (or anything else for Wikipedia, for that matter). We are interested to hear your views, not what some algorithm thinks we should hear.
    You only get to !vote once. Please strike or delete your second 'keep' !vote.
    As for notability, the onus is on you as the author clearly to demonstrate that, and by and large it would be better to do so before publishing rather than after. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:04, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
    I sincerely apologize for the repeated errors I previously committed. I have now updated her filmographies (excluding her music videos), as her appearances in various regional commercial films support her eligibility for an independent Wikipedia page. The fact that initial omission of her filmographies was due to the limited reliability of sources available for those regional films and movies. Thank you for your understanding. Laogaa45 (talk) 11:18, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
I would like to inform you that the text has been updated to include her filmographies (excluding music videos) previously omitted due to concerns regarding the reliability of sources for those regional films. I apologize for any inconvenience and confusion this may have caused.
With the recent additions to her filmographies, I believe the page now meets all the necessary criteria for a Wikipedia entry. I kindly request that the deletion message be reconsidered and removed. Thank you for your attention to this matter.Laogaa45 (talk) 11:48, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Wild Swans (2023 film)#Cast, a very notable film in which she plays the lead role and this, until or unless the notability of various other films/productions in which she plays lead/significant roles is established. WP:ATD-R applies. (But regarding the notability of the said films and even coverage about her, as we are here talking of Bodo cinema, this might be a case of WP:BIAS/WP:SBEXT, which is one more reason I favour a redirect)--~2026-34615-72 (talk) 12:01, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

This is a routine nomination for this topic area. Aviation accidents are often created before their notability is established. Of the recent high number of aviation accidents, this one appears to be the least notable. Very little reliable SIGCOV and appears to be quite routine. 11WB (talk) 08:50, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

  • Delete - It's unlikely that this crash will still be notable in the future (Wikipedia:10YT) and as you said this all seems like routine coverage. ~2026-35256-96 (talk) 09:21, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete. While some might argue that this nomination is WP:RAPID, all the signs are that this is a totally routine accident, covered by WP:EVENTCRIT#4. Precedent from similar military crashes tells us that there is close to zero likelihood of continued in-depth coverage or lasting effects. Rosbif73 (talk) 09:56, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

    Yeahǃ that would make sense. I wasn’t able to figure out how to do a branch nomination either. I also wanted to bring up the user at ANI since a lot of pages created by them have been redirected or deleted, and many seem to be soapboxes or promotional brochure-like content...there may be more such articles, but I haven’t fully looked or gone through all of them.

Fails WP:NSCHOOL, which requires educational institutions to meet WP:GNG. Present sourcing is a directory site (iCBSE), a BCI affiliation list (primary, a mere directory), a dead link to The Telegraph, and the college's own website.

Sources consist primarily of listicles, career profiles, and brief news mentions, none of which provide sustained independent coverage of the subject herself. Holding an IGP rank and conducting counter-insurgency operations are routine for officers at that level and do not establish notability under WP:NBIO. The 2017 Bhopal-Ujjain train blast investigation is mentioned but unsupported by coverage focusing significantly on her specifically. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 02:54, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Per WP:NOTCATALOG, Wikipedia articles should not serve as exhaustive directories or catalogs. An overly detailed list of colleges and every program offered gives undue weight to routine institutional information and is better suited to the institution's own publications.

  • Keep The notability of this as a standalone list was determined when it was decided to merge the affiliated colleges into a single consolidated list rather than have a disparate articles for many non-notable ones ergo WP:NOTDIRECTORY does not apply. Further, the "collegiate" university itself derives notability and its system functions based on these colleges ergo a valid and notable list even otherwise.
