The notable alumni section is WP:IINFO and WP:NOTDIRECTORY, listing dozens of routine state-level MLAs whose NEHU affiliation is unsourced (WP:V) and whose individual notability is unestablished per WP:ALUMNI. The department roster is a prospectus-style directory. The library prose is WP:PEACOCK sourced entirely to the university itself.

Keep: The notability isn't at question here....I checked for the sources, good enough are there to have an article. But the issues regarding the non-NPOV bound writing style, is better addressed by editing. This isn't beyond redemption, so TNT shouldn't be applied.

Stub unsourced since creation in 2010.

Joy dol

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

Sourcing in the article is thin and what's there doesn't really hold up. The Biswas Sibsagar book is cited three times but with no publisher, ISBN, or page context beyond "p. 48" and "pp. 48-49", and the Gogoi Geography of Medieval Assam citation is similarly bare. The other two refs are travel sites (Tour My India, Native Planet) and Vikaspedia, none of which establish notability. A BEFORE turns up mostly tourism listings and blog posts, plus passing mentions in coverage of the broader Joysagar tank and temples group. Nothing I can find treats Joy dol as a standalone subject in depth. Merge to Rudra Singha (or to a Joysagar group article if one exists or is created), otherwise delete. Yes the king who build it is extremely notable but notability is not inherited. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 21:46, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment Also just to make participants aware, the current article is copyright violation almost verbatim from: "Sibsagar" by S. S. Biswas, published in 2011 by the Archaeological Survey of India Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 21:53, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Keep: Here are some of the best ones I found:

(ASI) - "The temple is popularly known as the Kesavanarayan or Jaidol Temple. It was built during the reign of Ahom king Rudra Singha (CE 1696-14) and dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It stands on the eastern extremity of the northern bank of the Joysagar tank. It was excavated in memory of his mother Joymati. The temple proper has an octagonal Garbhagriha or sanctum sanctorum topped by a dome like structure and adorned with honey- comb designs and lotus medallions. The external walls of the main temple are also beautifully decorated with stone plaques richly carved with figures of various Brahmanical divinities including incarnation of Vishnu. On the western side, a square mandapa is provided. It is connected with the main sanctum through an antarala or vestibule. A small brick structure meant for kitchen house or bhog-ghar lies adjacent to the main sanctum. There are two small temples lying behind the main shines and are known as Surya and Ganesha temple respectively."
(IJFMR) - "Built by King Rudra Singha (r. 1696–1714 CE), Joydol is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and stands on the northern bank of Joysagar Tank, also constructed by Rudra Singha. The temple is circular in shape and features a garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). Notable for its height of approximately 30.48 meters, the temple showcases depictions of Lord Vishnu's incarnations. Traditional plaster made from lime, jaggery (gur), black lentils, fish (borali), and egg was used in its construction. Two nearby shrines are dedicated to Surya and Ganesha. The temple follows the Nilachala style, resembling the Kamakhya Temple in structure."
- Pg. 103
- "The Joydol, also known as the Kesavanarayana Temple, stands out as the most exquisite. Renowned for its elegant proportions and intricate external decorations, it is considered the finest example of Ahom temple architecture. Architecturally, the Joydol is built in the Nilachal style with a Pancaratha plan, and its shikhara features a distinctive dome shape."
and - Has some information.

That's good enough SIGCOV to meet WP:NCHURCH. Many more are there with little little infos, which can be used to expand the article. BhikhariInformer (talk) 04:31, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, @BhikhariInformer I am still leading towards a delete, for this specific case. The references are extremely sparse and no significant coverage exist. The best source is definitely the ASI one but I am hesitant on taking others as a reliable source. IJFMR (International Journal for Multidisciplinary Research) is a well-documented predatory publisher. It basically publishes anything and the editorial board is sketchy to say the least. See this thread on research gate as well. I had also written an essay on identifying predatory outlets at WP:Fools Gold which you might find helpful. Then, StudyIQ (studyiq.net) is a commercial exam-prep platform (UPSC coaching material). It's a tertiary aggregator at best, not an independent reliable source. Page 103 of a slideshow deck establishes nothing about notability to be honest.

SKIREC (skirec.org) SKIREC is another low-credibility academic body associated with predatory conference/journal publishing. The excerpt itself reads like it may itself be sourced from the same ASI material. This journal is also included in the Beall's List , so I will not say the source is reliable enough to establish notability.

The archive page is noteworthy but it doesn't really go into much detail either to warrant an independent article as its just in passing.

Then finally the 2017 tourism listicle from Outlook Traveller... the travel magazine is basically an equivalent of a blog post. It mentions the Vishnu Dol in literally just two sentences as a side note to the Shiva Dol, gets the builder wrong by attributing it to Queen Ambika rather than Rudra Singha, and exists solely to tell tourists where to eat and sleep in Sivasagar. It establishes nothing about the temple's notability as an independent subject. So this won't be enough either.

But as I suggested, a redirect to Rudra Singha or mentioning a few lines about it in that article should work. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 05:04, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Honestly, I hadn't dug deep regarding the quality of the journals. Thanks for decoding them. But you know......for religious sites of these sort, which is more of a tourist spot than a place for worship, SIGCOV in news articles is usually not available and here's the same. I think I would prefer not to discard the sources in this case because in every case, best quality journals aren't available, but that shouldn't undermine the significance of the SIGCOV available in the existing journals, which have documented a significant historical site. But yeah, at worst, I don't mind merging a few lines to Rudra Singha. So......I don't have much to argue though; I'll just WP:DTS and let the consensus to decide. Regards! 🙂 BhikhariInformer (talk) 05:36, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

yea I get that, unfortunately I think as much sad it is its the case for almost all things in northeast even state universities with what I came across 😔. yes Let the discussion play out.... but at the same time as an academic myself, I am strongly against inclusion of predatory journal content as they might misrepresent the place and people a lot. Unreviewed claims about architectural style, dimensions, historical attribution especially on wikipedia get picked up, recycled, and suddenly you have misinformation baked into multiple articles. So it's not just about meeting Wikipedia's sourcing bar, it's that those journals can actively introduce bad/fake information. For places, communities that are already underrepresented, and a Northeastern myself to me personally that's arguably worse than having no coverage at all. Anyway, the ASI source stands on its own and is solid. If consensus goes toward a merge, a few well-sourced lines in Rudra Singha is probably the most defensible outcome for now.

Sibsagar University

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

Article has just one citation, and it's to the predecessor college's own website for a journal page. Everything else is unsourced. A BEFORE search only turns up routine UGC and AIU recognition announcements (Sentinel Assam), which fail WP:ORGDEPTH, plus the usual admission aggregators and the text of the Act itself. Nothing qualifies as significant independent coverage of the university. Half the prose is about the 17th-century Joysagar Tank and Ahom king Rudra Singha, not the university. The rest leans on words like "historic", "prominent", "picturesque", and "culturally rich" The current version is unsalvageable.

On WP:NACADEMIC, nothing in the article demonstrates the named criteria which is no evidence of a highly cited research record, named chair, major academic award, fellowship of a major scholarly society, or impact in the discipline. serving as VC of a state university can satisfy C6, but ARGUCOM was dissolved in December 2023 and merged into Sibsagar University, and the parent institution itself is at AfD with marginal sourcing Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 21:38, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

The sourcing is sparse and doesn't establish notability. Ref 1 is a UGC state universities list. ef 4 is a Muslim Mirror piece on the World Education Summit where the focus is "minority education" generally; ARGUCOM's award is at best a passing mention, not significant coverage of the university. That leaves ref 2, a 2013 Economic Times announcement that this was India's first cooperative management university... which is routine. A WP:BEFORE turns up little beyond UGC listings and reposts of the same 2013 announcement. The institution itself was dissolved in December 2023 and merged into Sibsagar University, and there is no sustained independent secondary coverage across its 13-year existence to support a standalone article.

The article rests on just two citations, neither of which establishes notability.

Did some cleanup to salvage this article as its a central university and one of the only few in Arunachal. However I do not think the sourcing doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Refs 1, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 15 are all RGU's own materials (profile page, annual report, brochure, NAAC self-study, affiliated colleges list, alumni page) and don't count toward GNG. Refs 7 and 13 cover Prof. Tamo Mibang's retirement and death, not the institution itself, while ref 3 is about Arunachal statehood and ref 6 is a Sonia Gandhi speech with only a passing mention. Ref 2 is a routine NAAC accreditation announcement (WP:ROUTINE), and refs 9 and 14 are directory/database entries (Collegedunia, NIRF table) that fail WP:ORGDEPTH. That leaves refs 4 and 5, both Arunachal Times features pegged to Statehood Day anniversaries, same local outlet, commemorative framing, and content closely tracking the university's own narrative. With nothing substantive beyond one local paper and the university's own publications, I don't see GNG cleared.

The two news refs are a routine Times of India notice about IMU CET results and a Hindu report on litigation involving the parent Indian Maritime University, neither of which is significant coverage of this campus specifically. The remaining references are the university's own website and a Directorate General of Shipping page, both primary. Historical material about T.S. Dufferin and T.S. Rajendra is largely uncited or single-sourced and in any case concerns predecessor training ships rather than this campus. Per WP:NOPAGE, whatever verifiable content remains belongs in Indian Maritime University rather than as a standalone article Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 14:26, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

The prose reads as a curated résumé rather than encyclopedic biography, and the source selection reflects this: heavy reliance on the subject's own foundation site, speaker-bio pages from venues she paid to appear at or was hosted by (Milken, Greenwich Economic Forum), and South Asian diaspora outlets (South Asian Herald, New India Abroad, American Bazaar) that function more as community-PR than independent secondary coverage. The "founding stakeholder in Google" framing, repeated in the lead, is a promotional gloss that originates from her own bios and is not how independent reliable sources describe her late husband's role. Claims like "backed more than 100 startups" and the PayPal/Pinterest/Meraki list trace back to the same self-supplied biographical material recycled across venues. Independent coverage that does exist is largely event-driven (the MAGA Inc. donation disclosures) and would more appropriately be a sentence or two in a list of major political donors than a standalone biography. Also no significant coverage exist Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 14:19, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. A WP:BEFORE search turned up nothing beyond what's already cited, no in-depth independent profiles, no significant scholarly coverage, nothing that would establish notability. The existing sourcing is almost entirely WP:ROUTINE news mentions of individual RTI filings rather than significant coverage of the subject himself, and refs 3 and 4 are the same Hindustan Times article double-cited. Claims of "hundreds of patents" and "hundreds of research papers" are sourced to a generic IP Australia disclaimer page and a dead link labeled "Unknown," failing WP:V and WP:NACADEMIC. The article is also saturated with WP:PEACOCK language ("eminent," "prominent," "expert") flagged by the promotional-tone banner, raising WP:AUTOBIO / WP:UPE concerns, and WP:TNT would apply even if a notable core could be salvaged.

BEFORE turns up only directory listings, the school's own site/socials, accreditation database entries, and one India Today piece (double-cited in the article as refs 3 and 4). Per WP:NSCHOOL, schools must meet GNG or NORG, no inherent notability since the 2017 RfC. Per WP:CORPDEPTH / WP:ORGIND, directories and the subject's own materials don't count, and per WP:NEWSORGINDIA a single Indian-media article warrants heightened scrutiny and can't satisfy SIRS regardless. Article has carried primary-source, promo, and COI tags since 2015–16; WP:TNT applies if anyone proposes keep-and-cleanup. No prejudice against recreation if SIGCOV emerges.

Arunachal Pradesh University

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

Coverage is limited to routine announcements and primary/legal documentation. The cited Arunachal Pradesh University Act, 2012 is a primary source, which does not establish notability per WP:PRIMARY. The remaining sources (e.g., The Arunachal Times, Eastern Sentinel) are routine, local coverage announcing establishment and basic activities, lacking the significant, independent, in-depth coverage required by WP:GNG. Per WP:ORGCRIT, mere existence as a state university or inclusion under UGC recognition does not confer notability.

All seven citations are either the university's own website (governing body page, VC page, homepage; non-independent, fail WP:ORGIND) or regulatory directory listings: two UGC private-university lists, and an Indian Nursing Council ANM-course recognition list confirming permission to admit students. None of these constitute coverage of the institution; they are inclusion in regulatory databases, which are explicitly excluded by WP:CORPDEPTH.

St Claret College, Ziro

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

Fails WP:NORG and WP:NSCHOOL as currently sourced. Source-by-source: the article relies on the college's own materials, dead or self-published links (Grace EduCare, the SCCZ journal's own website, NSS PDF dead link), affiliated organisations' homepages (Rajiv Gandhi University, NIT Itanagar, IGNOU, NISCORT, SCCB, SJVN, UGC Ishan Uday) cited only to verify MoUs or scholarship existence, and a single book reference (Begi 2007) used only for a state-wide statistic, not for coverage of the college itself. The two press references ("19th Conference of Higher and Technical Education Begins" and "Arunachal celebrates Republic Day") are routine event coverage in which the college receives passing mention or a list-of-awardees reference, failing WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:SIGCOV. A WP:BEFORE search returns the institution's own website, listings, and routine local coverage. The article also carries a long-standing WP:COI tag from November 2019 and reads as WP:PROMO throughout (acronym-laden association lists, peacock claims, MoU enumeration). Even if marginal notability could be established through NAAC accreditation alone, the present article is so saturated with promotional content from a connected contributor that WP:TNT is appropriate.

A WP:BEFORE search returns admissions notices, examination results, and trivial mentions, but no sustained in-depth analysis of the institution itself.

I tried improving this article but not much here to merit notability. Coverage from Imphal Times (2015), Sangai Express, Imphal Free Press, and E-Pao cover only the university's opening and inaugural session, not the institution itself in any depth. These are routine announcements, not significant coverage. WP:GNG requires sources that provide "significant coverage" beyond "routine news coverage." Plus India Code is a government gazette reprint, a primary legal document, not independent secondary coverage. No source in the article provides the sustained, independent, secondary coverage that WP:GNG demands. I will say that this university may warrant a brief mention at Manipur University or Education in Manipur but by itelf does not merit a standalone article under current sourcing.

Hi I have tried to improve the article. Can you take a look? SamBordoloi (talk) 10:39, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
Article can be improved. The university is notable in NE India. I have tried to improve the article by adding Ahmedabad Mirror article https://www.ahmedabadmirror.com/manipur-international-university-achieves-global-first-publishes-genetic-blueprint-of-fermented-fish-utong-ngari/81897256.html which is a popular and reliable source from India. Can you take a look @Flyingphoenixchips and @BhikhariInformation.? SamBordoloi (talk) 10:39, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
@SamBordoloi Thanks for the addition, but a single article on one research output doesn't satisfy WP:NORG. It's essentially science-PR coverage of a genome publication, which falls under ROUTINE. NORG/SIRS requires multiple independent sources with significant coverage of the institution itself.

Also I went through the article and it looks like an advertorial or paid PR. will not be independent coverage. Indicators: PR dateline, an "About MIU" boilerplate paragraph, a Media Contact block listing the university's own email, and naming of the VC, Pro-VC, Registrar, AO, and research team in the standard internal-comms format. Per WP:ORGIND, content "substantially influenced by, or originated from" the subject is not independent regardless of the publishing outlet. Per WP:NEWSORGINDIA, Indian outlets routinely run undisclosed paid/sponsored placements, requiring heightened scrutiny Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 12:19, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
Hi @Flyingphoenixchips , thank you for looking at the source. Ahmedabad Mirror is actually a popular outlet in India. The article looks like news. It is difficult to understand that it is an advertorial. SamBordoloi (talk) 08:33, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
Hi @SamBordoloi thanks for engaging on this. Even with a reputable outlet like Ahmedabad Mirror, what matters is whether the content is independent. A rule of thumb is to see how it is written and also look at indicators here (boilerplate, internal contacts, staff listings) which are very typical of PR-origin material.

Citations 1, 2, 3, 7 mention the department only in passing within broader works about universities or regional higher education. Citation 4 is the department's own university webpage, which is a primary/self-published source and explicitly excluded from establishing notability under WP:GNG. Citations 5 and 6 discuss Manipuri as a language, not the department specifically. Coverage of the subject itself is required, per WP:GNG. Citations 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 are pages from affiliated college departments or archived institutional pages, which are primary and self-published sources. WP:GNG requires sources to be "reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject." Per WP:GNG, notability is not inherited from the parent institution (WP:NOTINH).

Some of the sources talk only about the language, instead of the department. others are primary sources from university newsletters and self published platforms like e-pao.

Keep : The article's sections, "Achievements", "Courses", "Annual events" provide enough information about the department with relevant direct-to-verify citations from the third party references. Therefore, the article passes WP:GNG. Nothing questionable! Thank you! :) Haoreima (talk) 23:16, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
Yes, I know there is enough information. There is enough information for almost everything. This however is not the same as meeting WP:GNG. WP:SIGCOV requires sources that address the department itself directly and in depth, not sources that merely mention it in passing while reporting on something else. Going through the cited references, the bulk fall into three buckets: (1) routine local news about faculty members receiving awards, attending seminars, or being appointed elsewhere, where the department is named only as an affiliation, (2) event notices for Mother Language Day, book releases, and similar functions hosted at the venue, which are routine announcements , and (3) primary or quasi-primary outlets like thesangaiexpress.com, Imphal Free Press, and e-pao headlines that recycle press releases. None of these constitute independent, secondary coverage of the department as a subject. The "Achievements" section is essentially a list of things faculty did, not coverage of the department, and notability is not inherited from individual professors, the parent institution or the Manipuri language. You are conflating verifiability with notability. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 01:21, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Bihar Aur Sufivad

Nominating for deletion as it clearly fails WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG. The book is self-published via "Rajmangal Publishers".

The provided sources aren't independent, in-depth reviews; they are simply local news blurbs, minor web portals, and PR-style announcements about the book launch. This appears to be a cross-wiki promotional effort by a single-purpose account. it should be deleted. AMAN KUMAR (talk) 20:59, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Keep: I think this nomination may stem from a misunderstanding of the notability and sourcing requirements. Looking at the article, the subject meets WP:NBOOKS, as it aligns with at least one of the criteria. It also meets WP:GNG, since there is coverage across several reliable, published sources. The point about the book being self-published doesn’t seem to have strong evidence. Having a ‘Manuscript Submission’ page (see ) on a publisher’s website is common and, by itself, doesn’t prove self-publishing. Without a reliable source clearly stating this, it feels more like an assumption than a fact. Regarding the sources, I don’t think it’s fair to claim they are not independent or lack depth. The article includes coverage from notable and established outlets (newspaper and websites both) like Dainik Bhaskar, Rajasthan Patrika, Prabhat Khabar, News 24 (Indian TV channel), Punjab Kesari, TwoCircles, Countercurrents.org, Muslim Mirror and Millat Times. At least some of these provide more than just brief mentions, which aids in establishing notability. The concern about my account being single-purpose doesn’t really address the main question of whether the subject itself is notable. In any case, I have worked on other articles as well, including creating Maniguh and Nishant Kumar (politician), among other contributions. Overall, it seems the nomination relies on assumptions that are not clearly supported by evidence. Based on the sources available and the relevant guidelines, the article meets Wikipedia’s standards for inclusion. Wanderer (talk) 03:52, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
Keep and recommend reading these sources:. They can be used for improving the article. Koshuri ^(あ!) 05:08, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
Comment I understand why the sources in the article inspired skepticism: several are publication announcement or "book launch" coverage that do not contribute to NBOOK; many sources are from advocacy / special interest publications, which may have a biased reason to promote the book; and the problems at WP:NEWSORGINDIA can make it hard to be confident that coverage is not promotional. In this specific case, I am not convinced either way.

The only article in Patrika News is a mere announcement without even a publication date; the three in Dainik Bhaskar are similarly event-based and not relevant to NBOOK.

The three articles linked by Koshuri are at least book reviews (ie, sigcov), but I am not sure if they really meet our standards as RS. I find two discussion at RSN casting doubt on OneIndia: . Muslim Mirror and Millat Times I am less certain about; I don't have to context to know if these are just natural review venues (the way we'd simply expect The Advocate (magazine) to review major works of queer literature) or whether there is reason to see them as non-independent. All the reviews are so intensely glowing it's hard not to be suspicious.

But the submission guidelines at Heritage Times (review here) do say that they have a thorough editorial review process, and Millat Times states that they explicitly identify sponsored content when they run it. Those look like the best option for an NBOOK pass; I wasn't able to find any better sourcing elsewhere. I would appreciate hearing from someone who knows the area better, how reliable these sources are. ~ le 🌸 valyn (talk) 22:31, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Speedy Delete as paid promo. User:LEvalyn Thanks for your request above. The author of this book Syed Amjad Hussain is a glocked sockpuppet and a serial spammer blocked multiple times on wikipedia for socing and upe. Please sse Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Syed amjad08. As far as I can see all the sources are paid promo by this long term spammer to popularise himself per WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Since I can read Hindi, this book appears to be a very lazy effort and probably chatgpt generated, not at all useful, this is not THE first time, please see deletion log at Draft:Syed Amjad Hussain, another effort to popularize himself. I suspect all the keep votes are either from the same sock master or from his meat puppets, requesting checkuser here to vanish this long term nonsense. I will ping @bonadae who had earlier sent this to draft space, but from blackmail from the newbie new page patroller and this spa account to take this matter to ANI, Bonadea reluctantly send this to mainspace. Requesting administrator attention here. If this banned sockpuppet is so popular then why none of the professor from western world is citing him or reviewing his book unlike the paid jargons? Thanks.~2026-25560-23 (talk) 01:19, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
I am not sure how an IP editor can make detailed claims with this level of certainty. It appears likely that this is a registered user commenting anonymously especially since similar points have been raised elsewhere including the articles talk page, where I responded but the IP editor has not replied for over twenty five days.

That said, speculation about who's the author is not something that can be resolved here and is not directly relevant to the notability of the book. The book is what matters. If the author of the book has been blocked, that in itself does not affect the notability of the book. Wikipedia assesses subjects based on reliable sources not on the editing history or status of individuals associated with the book.

Regarding comments on the content or quality of the book this is not a review forum. Personal opinions about whether the book's good or useful are not relevant here. The book has already been. Reviewed by multiple writers and sources. For instance as cited in Dainik Bhaskar, the foreword of the book is written by Dr. Muhammad Sajjad Alam Rizvi, Head of the History Department at Presidency University, Kolkata. Another report in Dainik Bhaskar mentions that the book received a review from Deputy Municipal Commissioner in the Government of Bihar IAS Dr. Shahid Raza Khan (IAS 2019 BATCH).

Dainik Bhaskar is among the widely read newspapers in Bihar and it regularly covers regional literary and cultural developments so its coverage of the book is relevant in context. The book is what we are talking about.

The argument that recognition must come from professors in the world is not aligned with Wikipedias guidelines. The book is in Hindi and coverage from Indian publications is entirely valid for establishing notability of the book. Additionally recent coverage shows that the author has been invited to the Madina Books Fair by the Literature, Publishing and Translation Commission under the Ministry of Culture Saudi Arabia. While this alone does not establish the notability of the book it is context in response to the claims being made about the book.

Overall these points are being raised to clarify the inaccuracies in the comment about the book. The discussion should remain focused on sources and notability of the book than assumptions or personal remarks, about the book. Wanderer (talk) 05:37, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
@IAmTheOnlyUnknownWandererInIndia, Come-on we all know, how easy it is to purchase all such fake reviews in India. I think English Wikipedia administrators and other moderators are intelligent enough to diffrentiate between the paid spam and the legit reviews. Based on the decade long spamming history by this banned serial spammer we can not trust him for anything legit. To strengthen my case I would like to post his linkedin profile, here, https://in.linkedin.com/in/syed-amjad-hussain-41b800228 where he explicitly stated that he is a contributor to Wikipedia since 2016. Admins, now it is time to end this decade long spamming, please. ~2026-25709-48 (talk) 06:20, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
I don't know who you are, but posting comments from an IP address and making the same claims over and over again without clear proof is making the conversation more difficult to follow. That being said, we can't settle any speculation about the past editors here. The article itself should still be the main focus. Currently, several editors have commented "keep," and it has also been pointed out that WP:NBOOKS allows for the consideration of more than one source when determining notability. That assessment doesn't change if you keep saying things that aren't true. General assertions that all such coverage is “paid” are grave and necessitate unequivocal evidence, rather than mere assumptions. You can't just dismiss well-known publications like Countercurrents.org, Dainik Bhaskar, Dainik Jagran, Millat Times and others mentioned in the article without showing that they aren't independent or promotional. Mentioning supposed past behavior or external profiles of the author of the book does not make the subject important. AfD isn't about who wrote it; it's about whether the subject meets WP:GNG and WP:NBOOKS based on reliable, independent sources. Generalizations about "fake reviews in India" do not replace analysis based on sources. You should judge each source on its own. The conversation should stay on track with policy and evidence that can be checked. The subject meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusion based on the coverage that is available. Wanderer (talk) 10:21, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment by Nominator: Stepping back in to focus on the actual sources. I completely agree with User:LEvalyn—the Bhaskar and Patrika pieces are just routine book launch coverage, not reviews. The articles from smaller portals read exactly like glowing PR summaries. Given the well-known issues with paid coverage, these are massive red flags for a self-published book.

Also, to address Wanderer's point: a foreword by a professor or a comment by an IAS officer is part of the book itself. They are primary sources, not independent coverage.

Finally, the serious COI and sockpuppetry concerns raised by the IP only confirm the suspicion that this is a coordinated promotional effort. We still lack the truly independent, critical reviews required by WP:NBOOK. The nomination to delete stands. AMAN KUMAR (talk) 15:44, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

Proposed merge, from what I can gather after a few searches, the Valmiki caste article and the Chuhra article are referring to the same community, I am nominating this one because it is the smaller of the two, altough it could be merged vice-versa since "Valmiki" seems to be the current preferred term. nahle.ghini (talk) 19:51, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment: A cursory look at some of the sources seems to support the notion that it's a single community, though both names have different connotations—the older label is considered derogatory.

ScrubbedFalcon (talk) 20:56, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Merge Chuhra into Valmiki caste. As TryKid mentioned, Chuhra is a pejorative term and the WP:COMMONNAME is Valmiki. Essentially, both are the same group of people. BhikhariInformer (talk) 03:38, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Support merging Valmiki into Chuhra, not the reverse. Chuhra is the original term for the caste and used in sources. It may be used as a pejorative in India in some contexts but Wikipedia is not censored. MaplesyrupSushi (talk) 00:58, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

Support merging of Valmiki caste into Chuhra. The Chuhra caste already combines Valmiki and Balmiki and there is no need for additionaal page as the article of Balmiki is redirection to Chuhra. Himankshu (talk) 17:47, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Keep — TOI is certainly on the thin side and TeluguCinema is of marginal reliability. However, a cursory search reveals additional reviews from ~~123telugu Review~~ and ABP Live Review. EmilyR34 (talk) 03:58, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

This is not a review. It is a bullet point overview of the film. Same as the other. Where do either actually review the film? --CNMall41 (talk) 19:54, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Good catch. I've struck 123telugu per consensus on its reliability. I've updated the ABP Live link to the actual review. TOI is a short and likely misses the NFILM "full-length" mark. I'm still counting TeluguCinema toward notability; despite being unattributed, the critical tone and depth confirm independence. EmilyR34 (talk) 04:55, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Keep references 8 and 9 in the article are definitely reviews and as they are negative they show independence. The TOI is no consensus on reliability but film reviews are uncontroversial content particularly when they are negative. 123 Telegu is definitely a negative review if you read the whole article but 123 Telegu is an unreliable source as per WP:ICTF while I agee the ABP piece is not a review unless the translation is very wrong, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:05, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

The ABP link was wrong, the corrected link shows a proper review, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:27, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Keep All the references are reliable. While creating the article, I have noticed that there is a draft already existingso I have moved the article to the mainspace and then published it with reliable sources. The nominator here is pointing out about copy and paste, let's say if I want to create the same article the same content what else conetent is to be included. The cast, music and all the details will remain the same. I had previously created many new film articles directly on the mainspace with reliable sources, so what's the need to edit the draft article here. Check WP:ICTF.

Keep: He had held office as an MLA. So meets WP:NPOL. Also found some additional coverage in (Indian Express) — "Take for instance Shankar Gupta, the Jadavpur MLA from 1982-87, political secretary to chief minister Jyoti Basu and the minister of power in the second Left front government. As a student in the sixties, Gupta had stood up at a speech Field Marshall K M Cariappa despite the crackdown on communists and said, “I am Sankar Gupta, I am a communist.” The statement, even in today’s age of the Left’s waning influence in West Bengal, rarely fails to draw proud smiles at Jadavpur."

Pheni (disambiguation)

Delete: Nice catch! Pheni and Khaja are two completely different things, not even close relatives. Why was this page even made? Anyways, we don't need this anymore, cuz there's no disambiguation at all. BhikhariInformer (talk) 05:40, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
Khaja had a poorly sourced claim in the lead that it was called pheni. One of the references failed verification, and the other came from a dubious journal. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 05:53, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
On a deeper search, I found this TOI article besides this, this and some Reddit strings, which confirm that Khaja is also known as Pheni in Odisha. So......Khaja is completely different from this Pheni but Khaja is also known as Pheni in this one Indian state of Odisha.

I had misjudged earlier. The disambiguation is required, indeed. So, I guess we can add the word "Pheni" back to the lead of Khaja along with the found TOI reference and hence, keep this disambiguation page.

.

There's another option - we can delete this disambiguation page and a line "It is also known as Pheni in Odisha" to the lead of Khaja, cuz after all, it's not the WP:COMMONNAME and is used in one state only. I personally prefer this second approach. @LaundryPizza03 Which one do you think could be the best option? BhikhariInformer (talk) 07:08, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
A hatnote? –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 07:22, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
Yup! That's better. We can add a hatnote at Khaja like "Not to be confused with Pheni”. This would handle the ambiguity without the need for a disambiguation page. BhikhariInformer (talk) 09:15, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

That hatnote doesn't make any sense, so I've removed it. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:06, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Kruti Dev

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

A typeface. Quite possibly useful. The article claims it is widely used in India, which might also be true. I can however find nothing in the way of independent reliable sourcing that confirms anything much beyond the fact that it exists, and can be downloaded. Wikipedia notability criteria require significantly more coverage than this, and anyway I can't see how useful an 'article' is which does nothing but direct people to repeatedly spammed websites where the typeface can be found. Anyone wishing to use the typeface will be able to find it quicker without using Wikipedia as an intermediary AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:03, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

I see independent reliable sources, and I have added some to the article. Most of the rest seem to be about Kruti as a benchmark for handwriting recognition/OCR/general accessibility discussions. They note its wide use etc.Drew Stanley (talk) 02:40, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Delete: No generally reliable sources besides font downloads. BSH (talk) - (they/them) 17:13, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

~~Keep~~ Weak Keep — Here are the sources I found in additional searches:

Page 62 of this book and 8th page of this document states "The Kruti Dev font (widely used in northern India, particularly in official documents) assigns the digital code 0064 to the same character. If we try to convert a Hindi document created in Kruti Dev font into braille, then the braille conversion software will convert this character into braille dots 145. On the other hand, if you type a Roman alphabet lower case "d" into a digital device and apply the Kruti Dev font to it, then it will display the Hindi character "ka". However, screen reading software will still read it as "d"."
Page 460 of this book states "Unicode ensures interoperability and searchability of data, which legacy fonts like Kruti Dev do not. Kruti Dev is a legacy font that maps Hindi characters onto English letter keys, meaning the underlying text is still English characters. This makes the Hindi text non-searchable and garbled on systems without that specific front."
Page 61 of this book states "The need did not seem necessary because readers know that in 1997 the Kruti Dev and Shusha fonts for Devanagari had already been made, and early sites and blogs were operated with those fonts." That's a significant info.
~~This, this and this have details about the usage of the font, which keys/shortcuts on the keyboard correspond to which Hindi character.~~

~~A GScholar hit yields 6-7 small mentions.~~

~~Overall, looks good enough to save the page. That's a lot more than crappy download sites.~~ Kinda borderline for WP:GNG with all these coverage. BhikhariInformer (talk) 18:28, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

From WP:N: A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject Neither passing mentions nor non-reliable sources (e.g. random stuff on scribd, which is frequently uploaded in violation of copyright) establish notability.

What things of this article make it promotional? Revant64 (talk) 05:26, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

I can only speak for myself, but the only part that seems at all promotional is the list of products in the info box. Does this help to clarify what the company does? I'm not sure. Otherwise it does not seem promotional. The word "significant" is used but it's referring to how many shares a business holds, which I think is fine (though there may be a more appropriate technical term).

Keep: Plenty of sources to meet GNG and NSCHOOL. Here are few - . -- BhikhariInformer (talk) 10:22, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
All ten examples constitute typical event coverage involving floods disrupting services, strikes, protest events, hikes in fees resulting in protest events, and a notice about the dissolution of the government. All these cover an event that involved JNIMS in some way, but none of them cover the organization itself in any way. @BhikhariInformer See WP:ROUTINE Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:41, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
While few are ROUTINE, notability under GNG doesn't require the sources to be purely descriptive of the institution in isolation. That kind of coverage is rare for most of the institutes. Multiple cited sources discuss JNIMS in contexts such as administrative restructuring, fee policy changes and expansion of MBBS intake capacity. These aren't TRIVIAL/ROUTINE.

Coverage of policy decisions, institutional crises and government restructuring goes beyond routine reportage. The dissolution of the JNIMS Society and integration under the state health department, for example, is a structural change with LASTING implications, not a routine occurrence. So, the subject meets GNG/NSCHOOL. BhikhariInformer (talk) 06:00, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Research conducted at an institution does not confer notability on it. The elibrary.ru and CABI links are the same issue. These are academic papers about medical topics, not coverage of the institute as a subject. A hospital being a research venue does not make it notable.

Merge the page, per nom. FaviFake (talk) 15:55, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
Keep: WP:5P1 states: Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. It is only natural that it should include a list of current provincial governors, chief ministers, and so on. It would also not be appropriate to merge it into the main "chief minister" article. The current list includes a bunch of information that is not transcluded in the "main" article, not all of which would be "due" on that page or would fit awkwardly there but is perfectly fine here. Wikipedia contains many other lists in this vein: List of current United States governors, List of current heads of government of the German federal states, and so on, which should be considered together as a set with this one. regards, TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 17:12, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
@TryKid That is a good point, but would it be invalid as WP:COMPARE says that you can't compare to other articles. When I did WP:COMPARE previously, people said that consensus should be local.

I do want to have my oppinion be valid, so do you recommend me starting an RfC about it? GuesanLoyalist (talk) 09:05, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
In the meanwhile, I might have to ping FaviFake, ScrubbedFalcon, and Reywas92 about your point and see any sort of counterpoint. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 09:06, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
I would have just done it myself as a WP:BOLDMERGE rather than bring to AFD since it's so obviously dumb and unnecessary to have one page that's only a table and another page that has informative content and then a transclusion of that table. Since Minister president (Germany)#List of current office-holders already has a list, List of current heads of government of the German federal states is a WP:REDUNDANT WP:DUPLICATE, I've taken the liberty to redirect the latter. — Reywas92^Talk 14:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
I suppose it's fine for the German list given the little content it had, but the Indian list does have more analysis. A unilateral redirect or merge would likely have been reverted, necessitating an AfD anyway, it was wise to nominate it first. If duplication is a problem, then the transclusion can be removed in favour of a hatnote as it is in the American list.

Regarding RfC, I do think these lists would benefit from some centralised discussion. AfD itself is a good enough mechanism for non-local consensus formation in the meanwhile. Perhaps a starting principle the community might want to consider—I think it's perfectly fine to have standalone lists of office holders even if an article on the office itself exists, atleast when both the article and list are substantially well-developed. regards, TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 18:04, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
"the Indian list does have more analysis" No, the Indian list has two paragraphs of intro that also duplicates the intro at the main article, and one measly summary paragraph that's easly merged. Again, there is absolutely no reason for this redundancy and absolutely no reason to split related content across two articles. Why make readers click through a hatnote instead of including it all in one place? Don't compare this to the American list, since Governor (United States) is way longer than the Indian main article and is in fact "substantially well-developed". Write that much prose and other content and maybe separate pages are warranted, but not its current state. Reywas92^Talk 19:27, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
@TryKid and Reywas92: Do you believe that consensus is reached now that you discussed the issue at hand? I just want to be safe so that I get approval for a big change that someone would may object to. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 23:22, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Keep Vice-chancellor of the Rajiv Gandhi University seems good enough to meet WP:NACADEMIC. The university seems to be a major one, besides being the oldest in a state. BhikhariInformer (talk) 05:52, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
Delete. The relevant WP:PROF criterion that could plausibly support keep is C6, the highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution. A vice chancellor only nominally qualifies under that criterion if it is the highest academic post, but at Rajiv Gandhi University that is apparently the Chancellor. This seems to be a close call, I admit, but lack of notable coverage outside this bare fact seems to cut against notability under WP:PROF. The notability rules there are largely because it is often difficult to assess notability of academics, because of specialization of research and teaching, etc. Since the subject's only claim to notability is vice-chancellor, however, I think the balance tips in favor of deletion.

At most Indian universities the vice chancellor is the highest-level administrative post and the chancellor is a ceremonial position. Do you have evidence that RGU is exceptional in this regard? —David Eppstein (talk) 06:49, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
The article lists a chancellor, but if that is ceremonial I guess I could be persuaded that the article might be kept. Seems like a silly basis for an article though. Sławomir Biały (talk) 06:54, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Regardless, I would not consider RGU a major academic institution under WP:PROF. I n a way... "only university in the state" reflects geographic monopoly, not academic prestige. Plus sources are almost entirely regional Arunachal outlets plus death notices. No national academic press, no coverage of his scholarship outside the northeast. This cuts against independent notability even under other PROF criteria. RGU just has a small regional footprint, and serves a small, sparsely populated state. Compare to VCs of Delhi University, BHU, or Hyderabad... institutions that are unambiguously "major." So I dont think wiki guidelines of WP:PROF applies here Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 14:15, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
Well said. I agree, it's a weird IAR sort of case. Sławomir Biały (talk) 14:19, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Further input required. The keep votes are highly assertive and the source analysis suggests the policy is against the sources. More input would help.

Redirect- to Godrej family as an ATD, not finding SIGCOV sources to suggest standalone notability.Lorraine Crane (talk) 04:51, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
Delete - we are not LinkedIn. As I've written before, "Forbes is a crust of a shell of a carcass of a formerly reliable source." Are we going to have a redirect for every member of his family? Bearian (talk) 21:14, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
