Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging 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.

Battle of Toshamaidan Pass

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

Delete. Fails WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV, WP:NEVENT, WP:V, and WP:NOR. The cited sources do not establish a standalone “Battle of Toshamaidan Pass”. Gupta describes Mazhar Ali’s artillery column being blocked in a narrow defile, with about 500 men killed and wounded on both sides, followed by rumours, plundering, and harassment and he does not present this as a named independent battle, nor as the article’s infobox claim of 500 Sikh deaths and a clear Durrani victory. Lafont does not support the Durrani-victory framing either, since he says Ram Dayal’s division defeated the Afghans in more than one battle. Nayyar, Parmu, and Bhagata Singh’s History of the Sikh Misals do not appear to provide little coverage of the alleged battle, and some do not mention it at all.

This is a source-text mismatch, not just weak sourcing. WP:V requires the cited sources to directly support the material as presented, and WP:NOR bars creating a separate battle article by synthesizing scattered campaign details. The sources may support a brief note about an artillery-column skirmish or harassment during the Battle of Kashmir (1814), but they do not provide WP:SIGCOV of a distinct battle with independent notability therefore it should be Deleted.

Battle of Shopian (1814)

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

Delete. Fails WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:NEVENT. The article does not establish significant independent coverage of a standalone “Battle of Shopian”; it appears to be only a minor skirmish within the Battle of Kashmir (1814) rather than a separately notable battle.

The sourcing is too weak to sustain an independent article. The infobox result is cited to a Blogspot page, which is a self-published source and unsuitable for establishing either the outcome or notability under WP:RSSELF/WP:BLOGS. History Of The Sikh Misals gives no Information about the Battle and the detailed coverage required by WP:SIGCOV. The main narrative relies on Latif’s 1891 History of the Panjab. Latif’s age is not an automatic disqualification, but WP:AGE MATTERS is relevant because nineteenth-century historical writing should not be the main basis for creating a separate modern battle article without corroborating later reliable scholarship.

No reliable modern sources are presented, broad coverage, or substantial later scholarly treatment of this as an independent battle. The article therefore fails WP:N and WP:NEVENT. Since the topic lacks sufficient reliable significant coverage and the cited sources do not establish standalone notability, it should be deleted. Heraklios 23:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Jnanjan Niyogi

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

The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. A detailed review of the page shows it relies on only 6 citations, many of which fail Wikipedia's core sourcing standards: One is an invalid, self-published Facebook post (WP:SPS), one is a completely dead link providing no current verifiability, and the remaining citations are potentially low-quality or trivial mentions. This does not constitute the significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources required to sustain a standalone article.

Swami Shukdevanand Post Graduate College

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

Article about an educational institution, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for schools. As always, every school is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because it exists, and has to be shown to pass WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH on its sourceability -- but this is "referenced" entirely to the school's own self-published website about itself, which is not support for notability, and has been tagged for lacking secondary sourcing since 2014 without improvement.
It also warrants note that this recently saw an advertorialized rewrite, including the addition of a long "See also" list of unwikilinked things (which is an indicator of LLM use) -- but that rewrite didn't add any new referencing either, and in fact simply stripped the primary source so that the new version was completely unreferenced.

*Keep. The nomination statement is inaccurate, she verifiably passes WP:NACTRESS, the subject-specific notability guideline for actors, with two significant (in her case, lead roles) roles in notable productions; namely Thukra Ke Mera Pyaar and First Day First Show, all the reviews of those notable productions cover her performance, making expansion of the article possible without original research, so that the page meets the WP:Notability core requirements: "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG); and It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy."--~2026-35976-24 (talk) 16:03, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Group of Three

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

The article asserts that the "Group of Three" (or G3) is an informal grouping made up of the United States, China, and India. However, this specific usage is highly marginal and not a widely recognized or established concept in international relations or geopolitical discourse.

The article relies on sparse, recent mentions (such as a passing remark at the WEF and isolated opinion pieces) rather than significant, sustained coverage in reliable, independent sources. This fails the General Notability Guideline and strays into Wikipedia's policies on Neologisms and Synthesis.

Furthermore, the term "Group of Three" has historically referred to entirely unrelated, formal concepts (such as the G3 Free Trade Agreement). Treating this specific, informal US-China-India grouping as the primary topic gives it undue weight. Unless substantial peer-reviewed literature can demonstrate widespread usage, this page should be deleted or converted into a disambiguation page for the term's other established uses.

Oppose This term exists and according to the secondary sources cited in the article was used by the World Economic Forum, other international organizations, newspapers, and professors of international relations. There are 47 reliable sources in the article demonstrating notability, compared to just one for the defunct, short-lived trade agreement. To compare, the Group of Two page has 17 sources. Both terms clearly meet notability thresholds established by WP:Notability, which explicitly states Article content does not determine notability. --Plumber (talk) 01:25, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete, but I am ready to change this to a Weak Keep. The membership of AANA is more than 60K, so being editor-in-chief of their journal (founded in 1933) may pass WP:NPROF#C8. Being elected as a Fellow may qualify under #C3. The big problem is that the sources do not verify the claims, and many are dead links. None of the scanners I routinely use believe this is AI, and the nom has not provided any evidence for UPE/COI or rationale for tagging this as AI. Note: both the page creator and nom have relatively few edits which raises red flags in my mind.

"Only significant role is in the movie Member Rameshan 9aam Ward while other roles being minor." is inaccurate, She has at least two significant roles in notable productions, the one that the nominator acknowledges and "The Young Girl" (despite the generic name for the role it is one of the lead roles) in Footage. See reviews mentioning her performance in that film, for example: https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment-news/reviews/malayalam/footage-film-review-an-experimental-film-that-offers-a-thrilling-experience-review-112738184/amp, https://thesouthfirst.com/entertainment/malayalam/footage-malayalam-movie-review/ etc. Therefore a WP:NACTRESS pass, not a fail.

Comment: this appears to be the same subject as the first nomination from 2020 that ended in deletion, as well as three A7 speedy deletions before that (two in 2016, one in 2020 before the first AfD). If this ends in deletion yet again, we might be approaching salt territory. (No opinion beyond that at this time.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 15:38, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I am the article creator.

Keep – While the subject has not held elected office, I believe the subject satisfies WP:GNG through multiple instances of significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources.

Examples include:

The Indian Express (24 July 2022), "Another Thackeray scion out to rebuild his party: MNS chief's son touring Maharashtra to revive youth wing", a feature-length article focused on Amit Thackeray's statewide organisational activities.
The Indian Express (27 July 2023), "After taking MNS backseat for long, Raj Thackeray's son Amit is finally stepping into the spotlight", a profile discussing his political role and public activities.
The Indian Express (6 July 2022), "One branch shrivels, Thackeray tree sees another son bloom", discussing his leadership of the Maharashtra Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena and organisational work across Maharashtra.
Mid-Day (23 January 2020), covering his formal induction into active politics and appointment as a Leader of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena.
Mumbai Mirror (23 January 2020), separately covering his entry into active politics.
ThePrint (2024), a profile focused on his electoral debut and political career.

These sources provide substantial coverage of Amit Thackeray himself rather than merely mentioning him in articles about Raj Thackeray.

In addition, much of this coverage post-dates the 2020 deletion discussion and relates to developments that occurred after his formal entry into active politics, appointment as MNS Leader, appointment as president of Maharashtra Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena, statewide organisational campaigns, and candidature in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly election.

Consensus on the AFD discussions are decided on the basis of arguments by editors and not by some AI algorithms. Please say what you have to say on why this article should be kept and not some AI algorithm. Thilsebatti (talk) 07:33, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. To clarify, my view is based on the sourcing available for the subject rather than on any external tool.

I created the article because I found multiple instances of significant coverage in reliable independent sources that appeared to satisfy WP:GNG.

In particular, I found the following sources persuasive:

The Indian Express article "Another Thackeray scion out to rebuild his party: MNS chief's son touring Maharashtra to revive youth wing" (24 July 2022), which is a feature-length article focused on Amit Thackeray's statewide organisational campaign.
The Indian Express article "After taking MNS backseat for long, Raj Thackeray's son Amit is finally stepping into the spotlight" (27 July 2023), which is primarily a profile of Amit Thackeray and his political activities.
The Indian Express article "One branch shrivels, Thackeray tree sees another son bloom" (6 July 2022), which discusses his role in the Maharashtra Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena and organisational work across Maharashtra.

My understanding of WP:GNG is that the question is whether there is significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. I believe the above articles constitute more than routine mentions and are substantially about the subject himself.

I also note that much of this coverage post-dates the 2020 deletion discussion and therefore was not available when earlier discussions took place.

The main issue is notability.

The first source is an interview so isn't exactly independent, the second is not a reliable source as they're known to produce paid advertorials. The third is Wikipedia:TIMESOFINDIA, which has the same issue - plus this is a short gossip piece about her character but not the actress herself. The fourth barely mentions her, again with the fifth, both are basic movie reviews.

If she's still active, then we'll need reliable sources to verify that - until we do, it's a moot point. In solidarity, Blue-Sonnet (I'm listening) 22:26, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmmm. NACTOR is indeed a notability guideline. Not sure what you thought was unclear to me. Plenty of other sources exist to verify the 2 roles are significant and in notable productions (hence.... movie reviews, yes). Not sure what is moot here. The first source, containing, an interview, indicates she is active again. Also please check coverage in Hindi, including sources to verify details of her personal life (not that it interests me, mersonally) if that’s what you were looking for https://www.bhaskar.com/entertainment/bollywood/news/mohra-actress-poonam-jhawer-brother-murder-mystery-mumbai-136357034.html ; if you and others think that it is better to redirect her page to Mohra#Cast, I could understand, because it’s her best-known role but outright deletion seems unnecessary. ~2026-35804-60 (talk) 22:50, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to your comment about whether she's still active or not. In solidarity, Blue-Sonnet (I'm listening) 22:54, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - For the same reasons I contended in the previous AfD. NACTOR is only an indication of notability, there still needs to be significant coverage. This one fails. I had also rejected this at AfC and would recommend salting due to the bludgeoning. --CNMall41 (talk) 05:38, 24 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
"NACTOR is only an indication of notability"? Surely you know that it is a specific notability guideline. WP:Notability says clearly: "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG)". As such, a NACTOR pass can be found sufficient to warrant a page. As for significant coverage, see WP:BASIC which states: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" (such as reviews from reliable media outlets). Anyway, if you don't change your opinion regarding those two points, what about a Redirect to Mohra#Cast (per WP:ATD-R)? Thanks! ~2026-35976-24 (talk) 20:19, 24 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

"NACTOR is only an indication of notability" - Yes. Presumption of notability is not notability. It means the person is likely but still needs to meet BASIC. NACTOR "pass" is no such thing. It is an indication or presumption, but not inherent. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:49, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

That's a very confusing interpretation imv. Why even mention "inherent"? How is that supposed to be an argument against a NACTOR pass, when, precisely, the notability of actors through NACTOR is not "inherent" but comes from their roles in notable productions? As for "presumption" of notability, surely you understand that all Wikipedia notability guidelines (including WP:N itself; again, re-read my reply) word the "notability test" by using "presumption". And when you say "likely [notable] but still needs to meet BASIC"=that may be your opinion but that's not what the guideline actually and clearly says (and BASIC is a subsection of the same guideline...). Anyway, I see that you probably won't change your mind and are not convinced by my mention of the coverage about this actress meeting BASIC nor by the possibility of an alternative to deletion; thank you for your reply. ~2026-35976-24 (talk) 05:59, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, I am not convinced. Why mention it? Because many who do not understand NACTOR often use the same argument as you have here. Understandable based on how it is written, but past AfD discussions have correctly interpreted the "presumption" as just that...a presumption. Notability must still be established through the sourcing. Simply verify roles is not enough. --CNMall41 (talk) 06:07, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – nothing to show new notability since previous AfD. As CNMall41 points out, NACTOR does not trump the need for reliable, independent and secondary sources. --bonadea contributions talk 19:22, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe but (maybe that’s what Ammnitageswar11 meant???) before you removed a lot of the actor’s roles (the filmography was unsourced and incomplete, but still) from the page (see history), it was, I think, easier to realise that the actor probably meets Wikipedia:NACTOR, the specific guideline for actors, through roles in Bajrang Aur Ali and Vahali. Also please note that supporting roles can be considered significant. I am therefore a Keep on this one. The page needs reworking..... ~2026-35804-60 (talk) 21:32, 20 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
between 100+ and 400+ episodes in numerous series, including Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Ek Baar Phir, Vasudha (2024 TV series), Pushpa Impossible, and Dadi Amma... Dadi Amma Maan Jaao! for example. Coverage to verifiy those roles includes numerous interviews like https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/entertainment/sachin-parikh-who-acted-in-films-like-main-atal-hoon-pk-aligarh-dil-toh-baccha-hai-ji-and-ott-many-series-talks-about-his-journey-589635/ that can help source the bigoraphy. ~2026-35804-60 (talk) 22:12, 20 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That's an interview which doesn't help with notability. The sourcing in the article doesn't support the roles being notable. What I removed wasn't likewise wasn't sourced. Ravensfire (talk) 23:57, 20 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
What did you find during your WP:BEFORE? Did you not perform any? If you did (and not merely suppressed titles of films he played in from the page) were you unable to verify at least his long filmography (some 40+ credits spanning almost 20 years) and that he has indeed multiple significant roles in notable productions? Some sources on the page DO allow to verify a certain number of them. I didn’t list all his significant roles, though. But you can verify each of them and understand which are significant, through existing sources. Such as, in English, https://www.iwmbuzz.com/television/editorial/review-of-zee-tvs-vasudha-a-well-depicted-clash-of-two-contrasting-worlds/2024/09/24 for his role in Vasudha (2024 TV series), https://www.ahmedabadmirror.com/sachin-parikh-from-stage-lights-to-spotlight/81894082.html for Pushpa Impossible. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/bajrang-aur-ali/movie-review/110746657.cms for Bajrang Aur Ali. And so on, and so forth for numerous films/series where he does indeed verifiably play a signficant role. These are just examples. Also, for the rest of your reply see WP:INTERVIEWS and kindly read my comment again, please. I am entirly convinced that this is a clear NACTOR pass. Thank you. ~2026-35804-60 (talk) 00:33, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Appears to satisfy WP:NACTOR through multiple significant roles across notable film, television, and streaming productions over a long-running career. The available sources and verifiable filmography support notability under both WP:NACTOR and WP:BASIC. The article may need improvement, but deletion is not warranted.Hirematviru (talk) 16:56, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

He does not have multiple significant roles in notable productions at all. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:01, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, I disagree. The subject's career extends across multiple notable television and film productions over many years. Roles in productions such as ''Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai'', ''So Dahada Sasuna'', ''Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah'', ''Bepanah Pyaar'', ''PK'', ''Bajrang Aur Ali'', and the ongoing series ''Vasudha'' indicate a sustained acting career with recurring and credited appearances in notable productions.

While editors may differ on whether every role was "significant", WP:NACTOR does not require only lead roles. Supporting and recurring roles can also contribute to notability when they are substantial and independently verifiable. The available sourcing and filmography together suggest that the subject's body of work merits retention and further improvement rather than deletion. Hirematviru (talk) 18:38, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It's not lead roles, but significant roles. And I'm still not seeing how that is met. A person can have a great a long career as a supporting actor that appears in lots of shows as minor characters. By itself though, that's not going to show that they had a notable career. Ravensfire (talk) 18:49, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

’It's not lead roles, but significant roles”....Hmmm, 1) there are some lead roles (he even has a title role in Bajrang Aur Ali !!!!) but anyway 2) the guideline requires significant roles, precisely. In notable productions. You have them. I am sincerrely puzzled..... ~2026-35804-60 (talk) 20:22, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

^{[citation needed]} - meaning, not supported.

Delete – NACTOR criterion 1 only says that an actor who has played multiple significant roles may be notable, it is not a guarantee for notability, and in this case I can't find any sourcing supporting notability per NACTOR. And I can't see where it is stated that three such roles are required. The sourcing does not show that GNG is met, either. --bonadea contributions talk 07:32, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete – unfortunately. We have many independent sources, but they don't appear to provide significant coverage of Kalra. Every source basically says the exact same set of things: this is a 20-something who runs a nonprofit founded by his father and provides services to the elderly and homeless. Beyond a couple stats on how many people they've helped at certain points in time, we don't have much, and I don't think there is enough coverage of Kalra to support a Wikipedia article.

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.

Oppose- I don't think the policies you are linking to support what you say they do. If you want to merge, you should start an RfC on it instead. WP:CONTEXT suggests you should add the context to this article instead of deleting it and WP:PRESERVE doesn't say that we should delete articles merely because it's not watched.

Of course, if your argument is that this organisation was only notable for a couple of events, that would be something else to prove. But jsut because an organisation no longer exists doesn't mean we need to delete it. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 02:11, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

All coverage is of individual members, who already have standalone articles (Kevichusa Angami, Andrea Kevichüsa, Chalie Kevichüsa). Also from my understanding as someone from the Northeast, last names in such cases are clan names, and do not really establish that the people are blood related to be called a family. Per WP:BUNDLE, shared surname does not confer collective notability. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 02:07, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The assertion that Kevichüsa family is a clan name is incorrect. The last name "Kevichüsa" was adopted by the descendants of Kevichüsa Angami, whose father was Niser Meru. The original surname/clan of the Kevichüsa's is "Meru/Meruno". Here are some sources mentioning their original clan name that is "Meru":

Keep. I do believe this is a prominent family that must be retained. However, in my understanding this should not be a 'page' but a list, like a family tree, if possible. Open to discussion. Also, from my deep dive into Kevichusa Angami, I agree that Kevichusa is not a clan name. But my larger problem with this page, and all the pages that @The Anonymous Earthling keeps moving with changing name such as inserting ü here is that it does not follow established protocol. These are public figures, whose name must be acknowledged as they use it and not reflecting other linguistic or ethnic conventions. Andrea spells her surname as Kevichusa and not Kevichüsa; similarly Chalie and Tubu did not use the spelling either. Neither of them used Meru either irrespective of it being their clan name. The links that Earthling provides does not have the spelling either. These page moves that he is involved in across Nagaland-related pages are borderline vandalism.

Despite the many cited sources, I'm having a hard time finding anything (in the article or on a WP:BEFORE search) that really provides all three of independence, reliability, and significant coverage. The sources about the documentary he made as a college student are largely just trivial news coverage and interviews, and his self-published books (which should not be discussed in such copious detail—if the article is kept, we should restore an older version like this one) don't seem to have gotten any attention in reliable sources.

Keep: as a regional artist the subject has limited published sources that's the reason why her other works have been ommitted initially.

Laogaa45 (talk) 03:26, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

Keep — The page meets the General Notability Guidelines (GNG) and the specific criteria for creative artists (any actor who has played a lead role in a notable film). Helina Daimary played the central lead character (Preeti) in the highly notable Boro-language film Gorai Phakhri (Wild Swans), which won the Best Film award at the 29th Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) and premiered internationally at the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF). Her performance as the lead actor of a major award-winning regional film warrants a standalone biographical record under WP:ANYBIO, rather than a simple redirect. I am actively working on adding more independent regional coverage regarding her 2022 Best Actress win at the 4th Bodo Film Awards to further strengthen the article. Laogaa45 (talk) 09:08, 17 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification, DoubleGrazing. The requirement for "multiple notable productions" under WP:NACTOR is precisely why this page warrants retention rather than deletion.
Beyond her central leading role as Preeti in the internationally acclaimed feature film Gorai Phakhri (2023), Helina Daimary has been a core, recurring leading face of the culturally landmark Hainamuli comedic film franchise. Her career spans across multiple prominent regional releases, including Hainamuli 6 (2016), Fwrmaiso Haywi Gwsw (2017), Rebgon(2018), etc (all verified and tracked within the List of Bodo-language films).

Transitioning from the region's most commercially successful multi-sequel comedy franchise to headlining a festival-winning, critically acclaimed feature film completely satisfies both the spirit and the exact wording of "significant roles in multiple notable films" under WP:NACTOR.

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.

WP:ATD-R applies.

- Thank you for acknowledging the bias issues (WP:BIAS) inherent to coverage of indigenous regional cinema like Bodo-language films. While a redirect under WP:ATD-R is an alternative, a standalone article is fully justified here because the subject's cultural impact and career longevity across the region are well-established.
The Hainamuli series is widely recognized by cultural researchers as a foundational milestone that commercially sustained modern Bodo cinema during its transition into digital era. To reduce the leading actress of both the region's most iconic multi-sequel commercial franchise and its most internationally celebrated, award-winning feature film (Gorai Phakhri) to a mere redirect line would inadvertently compound the exact systemic bias noted under WP:BIAS.

Because her filmography proves a verifiable, that directly satisfies WP:NACTOR's "multiple notable productions" threshold when viewed through the lens of regional impact, a standalone biography remains the most encyclopedic outcome. Laogaa45 (talk) 13:19, 17 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Helina Daimary is a northeastern Indian regional artist from the state of Assam. The creator of the subject's page earlier had omitted her works and filmographies, which, however, had been added later. Upon communication with the creator, he stated the reason for the omission is that the regional artist has limited published sources.

One of the "reviewers" cited the page as the "violation" of the Wikipedia norms as per the WP:NACTOR as initially it was mentioned only the major internationally acclaimed film Gorai Phakhri. This was indeed the gap of communication regarding the necessity of such sources leading to calls for the page to be deleted or redirected. However suggesting that the page of a regional artist should be removed due to the limited published sources is a clear case of WP:BIAS/WP:SBEXT.

Daimary's decade long career, which includes multiple projects, demonstrates why the page should be maintained rather than deleted or redirected. Such talent must be recognized and celebrated rather than neglected. Girii101 (talk) 18:20, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

While some cited sources are interviews or project-related coverage, notability should be assessed based on the totality of significant independent coverage rather than any single source in isolation.

The subject has received coverage across multiple independent publications over a number of years, including national and international media outlets. Some references may be better suited for verification than for establishing notability, and the article would benefit from further refinement of its sourcing. However, the presence of weaker or routine sources is not, by itself, grounds for deletion.

Where sourcing concerns exist, the appropriate course is improvement through the addition of stronger independent secondary sources and the removal of promotional or primary material. Additional sources can be incorporated to better demonstrate sustained coverage of the subject and his work.

Accordingly, article improvement is preferable to deletion, and deletion at this stage would be premature. Kalyan84 (talk) 06:19, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm the creator of that page. The magazine has actually recieved significant coverage in reliable sources. This is the book where I first found out about it (more than just a passing mention). There's one paragraph on Times of India (reliable) . And then the magazine is mentioned here.

It would need to be completely rewritten, and all the generated text would need to be removed, amounting to a TNT. There seem to be good sources available on the subject, so it is most likely notable, but generated articles have been rejected by the community (leaving that to Grokipedia and others). If you (or someone else) were to rewrite the article and remove all of the generated text, I would immediately withdraw this AfD without hesitation.
Do all of the sources that I mentioned timing out work for you? As I said in the non, this could just be georestrictions. We should WP:ALWAYSARCHIVE any sources used, this is a great reason for why. ‑‑gurkubondinn 11:11, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@AristocrSirr22: there haven't been any changes yet. I doubt that it will be rewritten. Like I said, I have no qualms against an article on this place existing, I just think that the current article is unfixable LLM-generated text. ‑‑gurkubondinn 10:13, 20 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete or Redirect to Saiyaara: Not enough SIGCOV to establish notability currently. Definitely a PR or fan driven move for creation.

Delete - fails WP:NACTOR with only one notable role and fails WP:GNG too as the coverage, while more than trivial, is mostly not from WP:RS. Usually, I would be okay with a redirect but, as this article is a target for sock farms, it's best we delete the article. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:40, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment — the nomination states "nothing has changed since the last AfD." That is not correct. The first AfD closed on 3 August 2025, before Panday had won any acting awards and before he had any further projects confirmed. Coverage assessing Panday's acting specifically also does not appear to have been raised in that discussion. I have found independent coverage outside WP:NEWSORGINDIA, and i will bring it into the article and follow up here once done.

Separately, i would flag the sock/IP pattern for the closer's attention. The struck !votes do not read as organic fan activity - they show no engagement with the subject himself, add no sourcing, and several appeared within minutes of each other. This may be coordination, or a deliberate attempt to taint the discussion. Either way, the closer should weigh the established !votes on their own merits.

Delete - Highly advertorial content, along with a lot of COI editing. Deb (talk) 08:11, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
i've removed the advertorial brand-ambassador content, several NEWSORGINDIA-style pieces, and trimmed the awards table, while adding independent coverage (Gulf News, Khaleej Times, The Nod) that wasn't there before. Some NEWSORGINDIA sourcing remains, but I'd treat that as cleanup rather than a deletion issue. Happy to address specific passages if any remain a concern. EmilyR34 (talk) 08:35, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Keep — i went looking past the press releases, and there's real coverage underneath. Khaleej Times and Gulf News both assessed his performance specifically. The Nod did an analytical piece on his reception. A few more sources are cited in the article. Between them, you get his acting, how audiences responded to him, his public image, the nepotism debate his casting kicked off - not just announcements that a project exists. Add to that: Saiyaara became one of the highest-grossing Indian romantic films, which brought him coverage from international outlets outside the usual NEWSORGINDIA problem. He's also won the two major acting-specific awards for the role - Zee Cine for Best Debut, Screen Award for Breakthrough New Actor. I think that's enough for WP:GNG. EmilyR34 (talk) 12:17, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Everything you mention is a case for inherent notability. Can you provide the links to the significant coverage that talk about him and not just a film he was in?--CNMall41 (talk) 15:37, 17 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. These treat Panday as the subject of analysis in his own right, not just as part of the film's marketing. The Week uses Panday as a case study in how the industry manufactures star kids, addressing his background as Chunky Panday's nephew rather than an heir, his packaging, and the reception around him. The Nod offers an independent analysis of why younger audiences responded to Panday specifically and the nepotism debate his casting reopened, reaching back to a 2017 interview of his that resurfaced. Gulf News, separately from its review, runs a critique of how Panday's public image was engineered and received - about the person being marketed, not the movie.

Delete Still not meeting WP:NACTOR. TolWol (talk) 06:33, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
"Still not meeting WP:NACTOR" restates something everyone already agrees on; that's not what's being debated. WP:N treats GNG as an alternative route, not an add-on requirement, so a NACTOR failure doesn't settle anything on its own. The live question is GNG, and the three sources i set out above are independent, outside NEWSORGINDIA, and contain substantive discussion of Panday himself. EmilyR34 (talk) 07:40, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

They are not though. At least two are about the film. Notability is not inherent. --CNMall41 (talk) 15:45, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The Week and Gulf News aren't reviews of the film. The Week uses Saiyaara as the occasion to profile Panday's background and image. Gulf News, separate from its own film review, is a critique of how Panday himself was marketed. The Nod is closer to your point: it covers the broader nepotism discourse too, but it still has several paragraphs specifically about Panday. EmilyR34 (talk) 19:58, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't say they were reviews. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:29, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Just looking at this, what about it amounts to significant coverage of Panday? It lists his role. Nothing else. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:31, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

And this? There is nothing we can use to build an encyclopedia page other than who he is related to. Hardly significant coverage. In fact, the reference infers he is famous simply because of who he is related to. Wikipedia doesn't work that way. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:34, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Gulf News doesn't just list his role. It contains a direct assessment of his screen presence and performance range, and a sustained critique of how his public image was specifically constructed - that's about the person, not a cast listing. The Nod has more than family connections: there's a resurfaced 2017 interview where he addresses his own family connection, and direct observations about his camera presence - content that deals with him specifically, not just the nepotism debate in general. And SIGCOV doesn't require coverage to attribute fame to merit - a source analysing why someone attracted attention, even critically, is still independent coverage of that person. On The Week: film historian Gautam Chintamani analyzes Panday's precise position within Bollywood's star-manufacturing ecosystem, his public persona, and his physical image as a strategic asset. That's several paragraphs of independent analysis from a credentialed film historian, not entertainment churn. EmilyR34 (talk) 14:28, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources are permitted to conduct any sort of reasoning they want to. Reliable sources can engage in Wikipedia:Original research, while Wikipedians cannot. The source cited is clearly WP:SIGCOV. Katzrockso (talk) 14:30, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There is no direct assessment in the Gulf News article. There is a single line about his role - "Ahaan, playing a brooding, joint-smoking rockstar with daddy issues, has the screen presence but not yet the performance range." - nothing else about him other than it is his film.--CNMall41 (talk) 05:11, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

that single line is a performance assessment, not the whole piece. The article is about how Panday was specifically packaged as a public figure - the PR silence around his launch, the celebrity endorsements timed around him, the deliberately manufactured debut image. Panday is the central subject of that analysis. Worth also looking at The Week, where film historian Gautam Chintamani analyzes Panday across several paragraphs. EmilyR34 (talk) 07:38, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Are we looking at the same reference? Please quote the exact wording that discusses him. His name is mentioned as the filmmaker and then the sentence I quoted above are all I see that talk "about" him. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:46, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The piece I was commentating on was this source [14], which is what you were talking about when you said There is nothing we can use to build an encyclopedia page other than who he is related to. Hardly significant coverage. In fact, the reference infers he is famous simply because of who he is related to. Wikipedia doesn't work that way.

This was the fallacious, incorrect argument I was replying to. I haven't had time to read all of the sources in question, but this The Nod Magazine source is certainly significant coverage. Katzrockso (talk) 00:09, 24 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

First and foremost, WP:AGF. Using words like fallacious infer my intent was to mislead or manipulate. If you feel that is the case, please take it to ANI. As far as the source, you know I was speaking about Gulf News as you replied "Gulf News doesn't just list his role" in the thread above. This was followed by me once again repeating the source name ("There is no direct assessment in the Gulf News article.". I will be happy to look at The Nod once we clear the Gulf News information. I would appreciate you pointing out the information that speaks directly "about" him or concede that it is mainly about the film and only mentions his role. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:42, 24 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't commented on The Gulf News piece, you're confusing me with EmilyR34. Katzrockso (talk) 01:21, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Then I suggest in the future you comment on a different thread, or at least not inline as a response to the convo about Gulf News. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:33, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I replied specifically to a comment that stated And this? There is nothing we can use to build an encyclopedia page other than who he is related to. Hardly significant coverage. In fact, the reference infers he is famous simply because of who he is related to. Wikipedia doesn't work that way. in reference to the Nod Mag piece. I didn't reply to anything about The Gulf News piece. Katzrockso (talk) 02:47, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Your initial reply yes. The inline you responded to after was directly about Gulf News. You may need to re-read it closer. Me - "There is no direct assessment in the Gulf News article." - EmilyR34 - "that single line is a performance assessment, not the whole piece." - Me - "Are we looking at the same reference?" - ALL about Gulf News. If you wanted to discuss the other reference, again, do not do it inline. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:55, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

What do you even mean? I commented on the The Nod Mag piece [15], directly replying to your comment about The Nod Mag piece [16]. You replied and mistakenly started talking about the Gulf News piece [17]; There is no direct assessment in the Gulf News article. There is a single line about his role - "Ahaan, playing a brooding, joint-smoking rockstar with daddy issues, has the screen presence but not yet the performance range." - nothing else about him other than it is his film.

@Honeybrowneyes I don't believe this article needs to be draftfied. I think the mistake at this stage is trying to make a perfect article rather than an article that demonstrates that sig cov.

Thanks for the cleanup, Mme Maigret. It seems now the article has much improved since the nomination with better sourcing. I went through the latest revision and after analysing the new sources especially from [18]The Week and [19]The Nod, I think there's a GNG pass here that didn't exist at the time of nomination. So I would like to change my mind and withdraw nomination. Thilsebatti (talk) 05:31, 24 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Khaleej Times and The Nod Mag pieces are clearly WP:SIGCOV. The Khaleej Times appears to be regarded as reliable outside of domestic political issues and perhaps other political topics that the UAE government might have a particular position on. From what I can tell, The Nod Mag is a traditional WP:NEWSORG and is reliable on that basis - the managing editor Megha Mahindru worked for other WP:RS such as Vogue India, Rolling Stone India, etc. This is enough for a weak keep, without even getting into the other sources that demonstrate notability.Katzrockso (talk) 23:15, 25 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Additional independent coverage exists in Deccan Chronicle, Onmanorama and Deepika regarding his acting and documentary work.

The Deccan Chronicle article is somehow decent, but not enough to meet GNG. For that we need multiple reliable sources. The Indian Express source does not count towards this. You mentioned the availability of additional sources. Could you please show us these additional sources? Thilsebatti (talk) 11:27, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Setting aside the recent syndicated pieces, the independent, reliable coverage is as follows, with what each actually covers:

Deccan Chronicle, "A role fit for the Raja" (21 April 2018) – a feature centred on the subject and his casting and role in Aalorukkam; significant coverage of the subject himself, as acknowledged above.
The New Indian Express, "One-minute-long messages" (7 November 2014) – a feature on the subject's Metromatinee initiative and its "one-minute movie" project, discussing his work in some depth rather than a routine announcement.
Janayugom (2026) – coverage of the subject's direction of the experimental film Lokamani Sivaraj Ponmakal and its screening at the Independent and Experimental Film Festival, Kozhikode.
Deepika (24 February 2026) – coverage of his documentary Thiruvarangar – The Deity Singers and its selection for the Thenmala International Film Festival.
Deccan Chronicle and Onmanorama (online edition of Malayala Manorama), April 2018 – reviews of Aalorukkam that note the subject's supporting performance, establishing the standing of the National Award–winning film in which he held a significant role.

Per WP:BASIC, where the depth of individual sources varies, multiple independent reliable sources may be combined to establish notability. Here there is coverage spanning more than a decade across several established outlets (Deccan Chronicle, The New Indian Express, Janayugom, Deepika, Manorama), addressing both the subject's acting — a significant role in the National Award–winning Aalorukkam (WP:NACTOR) — and his documentary and independent filmmaking. On balance I believe this is enough to support retention rather than deletion. Amal4260 (talk) 14:49, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – The subject is covered in multiple independent reliable sources over a period exceeding a decade. Deccan Chronicle published a dedicated feature focused on Shaji Ajohn and his role in the National Award-winning film Aalorukkam. Independent coverage also documents his acting career, including reviews that discuss his performance, and his work as a filmmaker and documentary director.

The available sources cover distinct aspects of the subject's career rather than a single event. They include a biographical feature, coverage of his acting work in a nationally recognised film, and reporting on documentary and feature-film projects that he wrote and directed. Taken together, these sources provide significant independent coverage of the subject himself and satisfy WP:GNG. Notability is assessed through the cumulative weight of reliable independent sources, and the article demonstrates sustained coverage of the subject's work as an actor and filmmaker. Rahuls110895 (talk) 04:12, 22 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The nomination argues the coverage is about the subject's projects rather than the subject himself, but a source-by-source look shows otherwise:

Deccan Chronicle, "A role fit for the Raja" (21 April 2018) – a feature centred on Shaji Ajohn and his casting and performance, i.e. direct, in-depth coverage of the subject. The nominator has already accepted this as a credible source.
The New Indian Express, "One-minute-long messages" (7 November 2014) – substantial coverage of his Metromatinee initiative and its one-minute-film project, well beyond a routine announcement.
Janayugom (2026) – coverage of his experimental film Lokamani Sivaraj Ponmakal and its screening at the Independent and Experimental Film Festival, Kozhikode.
Deepika (24 February 2026) – coverage of his documentary Thiruvarangar – The Deity Singers and its selection for the Thenmala International Film Festival.

Per WP:BASIC, where the depth of individual sources varies, multiple independent reliable sources may be combined to establish notability. Here the coverage spans several established outlets and more than a decade, addressing both his acting – a credited role in the National Award–winning Aalorukkam – and his work as a writer-director of documentary and independent films. Taken together this is significant independent coverage of the subject and meets WP:GNG. ~~~~ Appurajnk (talk) 06:40, 22 June 2026 (UTC) (

Keep — Assessed cumulatively under WP:BASIC and WP:NACTOR, the subject clears the bar. The strongest source is the Deccan Chronicle feature "A role fit for the Raja" (21 April 2018), which is centred on Shaji Ajohn himself and his casting and role in Aalorukkam — and which the nominator has already accepted as a credible, in-depth source about the subject. That role was a significant supporting part in Aalorukkam, winner of the [[National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues]], with his performance noted in independent reviews in the Deccan Chronicle and Onmanorama; this speaks directly to WP:NACTOR criterion 1 (a significant role in a notable film). Alongside this, The New Indian Express "One-minute-long messages" (7 November 2014) covers his Metromatinee media initiative in some depth rather than as a routine announcement, and his work as a writer-director is independently documented across Janayugom (the experimental feature Lokamani Sivaraj Ponmakal) and Deepika and Kerala Kaumudi (the documentary Thiruvarangar – The Deity Singers, including its best-documentary award at the 2025 Kohinoor Film Festival).

I'll be candid that the festival and screening reports are coverage of the films rather than of the person, so the case here is the WP:BASIC one: independent, reliable coverage spanning more than a decade across several established outlets — Deccan Chronicle, The New Indian Express, Janayugom, Deepika, Kerala Kaumudi and Onmanorama — addressing both a nationally recognised acting role and a sustained body of directing work. Taken together this is enough to support retention.Amal4260 (talk) 22:18, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't check the rest and have no opinion but NACTOR#1 is not "a significant role in a notable film" (which would rather warrant a redirect to the cast of that film imv) but " significant roles in multiple notable productions" (please note the plural and the adjective multiple, which leave no room for ambiguity).

Wikilawyering will not make the subject notable. Sources will. Tarann06 (talk) 06:29, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There are currently 16 sources in the article, including, e.g. coverage focused on Mehta that has helped develop a biographical article; some were added after the previous AfD started by a now-banned sock:

Meet Karishma Mehta, the woman behind Humans of Bombay, Hindustan Times, May 06, 2016

Humans of Bombay CEO Karishma Mehta reveals she sat for 7 hours across 2 days to record longest-ever interview, Hindustan Times, Jun 03, 2026

Sources were also listed and discussed in the previous AfD discussion, along with the notability guidelines. From my view, there is sourced biographical information on Mehta that would not fit well in the Humans of Bombay article, and a separate biography article is supported, not only because notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY, and according to the WP:BASIC and WP:CREATIVE guidelines, but also because there has been and is WP:SUSTAINED coverage focused on Mehta. Beccaynr (talk) 14:36, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

First source fails WP:NEWSORGINDIA. It is about "Two years, a thousand stories, and nearly 6lakh followers later, some of the most powerful stories from Humans of Bombay, the Facebook page, is now a book. We go behind the scenes"[20]
Second is an interview specifically about "Humans of Bombay". It cannot be used for establishing GNG.[21]
Third source fails WP:NEWSORGINDIA and is about Karishma Mehta talking only about Humans of Bombay.[22]
Fourth source fails WP:NEWSORGINDIA and is about "As Humans of Bombay launches its own talk show on YouTube, its founder discusses the past, present and future of the storytelling platform"[23]
Fifth source fails WP:NEWSORGINDIA and is about "what led to the Humans Of Bombay dragging another platform to the court."[24]
Sixth source concerns a copyright claim involving a story of Humans of Bombay.[25]
Seventh source fails WP: NEWSORGINDIA and covers only about an interview for Humans of Bombay.[26]

All of this simply proves that the subject does fail WP:GNG, and lacks coverage that does not significantly concern Humans of Bombay. THEZDRX _{(User) |}_(Contact) 01:16, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The sources listed above are offered only as examples, and from my view, the WP:BASIC and WP:CREATIVE notability guidelines are supported based on all of the sources about Mehta, which include reports about successes and challenges she has encountered in her work as the founder and CEO of Humans of Bombay. I have avoided what seems more like tabloid content focused on her personal life that has also received substantial coverage, because from my view, our guidelines suggest she is notable as a successful creator of a website and related social media channels, based on sustained coverage of her as the founder and CEO, similar to other business executives.

Source analysis

The WP:NEWSORGINDIA guideline includes, Look at the tone and language of the article, its placement in the publication, use of generic bylines not identifying an individual reporter or reviewer, and overlap in language with articles found in other publications and on other websites.

the first source about Mehta in the Hindustan Times, Meet Karishma Mehta, the woman behind Humans of Bombay, is by Poorva Joshi (2016); the reporter is identified, and this does not seem to be placed in the "Brand Post" section. In addition to some biographical information and the reporter's observation of Mehta working, there is also commentary about what Mehta has created, e.g. In that she is different from HONY, where Stanton, at times, shares only a quirky one-liner from his subject. But since the basic concept was the same, she was criticised early on. [...] She’s also more of a documentarian of personal stories than a photographer. In a stark contrast to Stanton’s professional photography skills, Mehta is self-trained. This seems like coverage focused on a person who created a popular and successful website, i.e. which can support notability per the WP:BASIC and WP:CREATIVE guidelines.
the second source about Mehta, in the Khaleej Times (based in the UAE), Meet the Humans of Bombay founder, is by Janice Rodrigues (2018); the reporter is identified, and appears in the Lifestyle, not Sponsored section. There is some biographical and work-related content overlap, e.g. Unlike Brandon Stanton, the Mumbai resident is not a professional photographer, and her skills with the camera are self-taught. Also, unlike Brandon, who shares lighter one-liners or even pictures of kids in adorable getups ("Today in microfashion"), Karishma's stories often delve deeper, shedding light on India's social issues and people's personal battles but given the reported animosity directed at Mehta, it is perhaps unsurprising for features focused on Mehta to find it newsworthy to distinguish HONY from HOB.
the third source about Mehta, in NDTV, She Was Just 21 When She Started 'Humans Of Bombay'. Here's Her Story, is by Sanya Jain (2021); the reporter is identified, and this is filed in the Offbeat section; it is mostly an interview but begins with biographical information and a measure of Mehta's success: Karishma Mehta was just 21 when she started 'Humans Of Bombay' - a page that today has over a million followers on Facebook and twice as many on Instagram which seems to add some WP:BASIC/WP:CREATIVE support given this recognition.
the fourth source about Mehta's talk show How The Hell Did I Do It?, in the Hindustan Times, How the hell did she do it?, is by Karishma Kuenzang (2022); the reporter is identified, the report appears in the Lifestyle/HT Brunch section, and while the report confirms the launch of the talk show, it substantially includes information from Mehta; I think it is easier to discount the independence of this source as support for notability than to assume covert advertising per the guideline.
the fifth source about Mehta, in NDTV "Received Death, Rape Threats": Humans Of Bombay CEO Amid Plagiarism Row, has the byline "Edited by the NDTV News Desk" (2023) but it does not seem to have a promotional tone given the content; the focus is not only on what Mehta says about online abuse she received after the lawsuit her company filed, but also what NDTV reports about further negative online comments directed at her, and her online statement in response. So this seems focused on Mehta during a challenging time during her work as CEO, and supportive of her WP:BASIC notability.
the sixth source about Mehta, in The Independent, ‘Didn’t expect to be vilified to this extent’: Humans of Bombay founder speaks up days after online trolling, is by Alisha Rahaman Sarkar (2023), and similarly seems focused on e.g. Ms Mehta faced major backlash last month for filing a copyright suit against People of India and seeking to restrain the page from appropriating what it claimed was its “unique format of storytelling”, the outcome of the case, as well as online criticism directed at Mehta, including from "Creator of HONY Brandon Stanton," and a statement made by Mehta. Similar to the source above, this also seems supportive of her WP:BASIC notability, because independent and reliable sources are substantially covering what is said about her online, what she said online in response, as well as the decision she made as CEO to file a lawsuit.
the seventh source about Mehta, in the Hindustan Times, Humans of Bombay CEO Karishma Mehta reveals she sat for 7 hours across 2 days to record longest-ever interview, by Sanya Jain (2026), the reporter is identified, whose apparent focus is "Offbeat" stories, and the report begins Karishma Mehta, the woman behind storytelling and podcast platform Humans of Bombay, has revealed that her longest-ever interview took seven hours to record. This report also includes a "Who is Karishma Mehta?" section with a brief biographical overview, which includes her founding HOB. This does seem like weaker support for notability under our usual guidelines, because it appears mostly based on Mehta's LinkedIn post, and to use a canned biography. It just seems difficult to characterize this source as focused only on HoB, when it is about Mehta and what she is doing in her work as CEO.

Overall, I think it is to be expected that coverage of Mehta will include discussion of her work at HoB, because she is the founder and CEO. From my view, this type of Mehta-focused coverage is in addition to coverage and commentary on the HoB website, so having two articles seems to reflect the available coverage, in accordance with the WP:BASIC and WP:CREATIVE guidelines (noted in my initial !vote above). From my view of our guidelines, it does not seem disqualifying for coverage of Mehta to focus on her role developing and working on her major accomplishment - it instead seems to enhance her notability independent from the website and its related social media.

As to the independent notability of the website, the now-banned sock who started the previous AfD for Mehta in 2021 also started an AfD for Humans of Bombay four minutes later; I note this for the extensive list of sources available in the discussion, which may be helpful for considering whether readers are best served by seperate articles.

In addition to her biography and work as founder and CEO, coverage of Mehta also includes:
- her book, e.g. ‘Humans of Bombay’ fans have to read this now (Vogue India, Raveena Shapuri, 30 Apr 2016), Meet Karishma Mehta, the woman behind Humans of Bombay (Hindustan Times, Poorva Joshi, May 2, 2016), and

Delete - Agree with the analysis of sources above. Significant coverage regarding the subject from reliable sources is clearly missing. Orientls (talk) 01:30, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - after further research, what I had dismissed above as 'tabloid' coverage about her personal life (e.g. Humans of Bombay CEO Karishma Mehta gets her eggs frozen at 32: Know everything from cost and risks to ideal age, Hindustan Times, Sanya Panwar, Feb 3 2025) has scholarly coverage: Majumdar, Anindita; Thapar-Björkert, Suruchi; Gondouin, Johanna (2 June 2026). "Commercial egg extraction and the discourse on empowerment/exploitation in India". Current Sociology. doi:10.1177/00113921261449290. ISSN 0011-3921., so these sources seem to further support her notability per the WP:BASIC guideline (which states If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability), as well as a separate page per WP:PAGEDECIDE.

Delete This is essentially a notability-by-association biography. The case for a standalone article rests largely on the existence and prominence of Humans of Bombay, which already has its own article. Once coverage primarily about the project is separated from coverage about Mehta herself, there is little evidence of the significant independent coverage required by WP:GNG.

Much of the sourcing consists of founder-profile interviews in outlets such as Hindustan Times, The Hindu, The Indian Express, Verve, Khaleej Times, NDTV, and The Tribune. These are largely "meet the founder behind Humans of Bombay" pieces based substantially on Mehta's own statements. Such sources help verify facts about her career and the project but contribute limited independent analysis of her as a subject. The concerns identified at WP:NEWSORGINDIA regarding interview-driven and promotional-style coverage are relevant here.
Other sources are similarly weak. The Vogue India pieces are promotional or tied to the release of her book. The BuzzFeed article is a list-style piece based on a TEDx talk. The Better India coverage is largely inspirational-profile content. None provide the sort of sustained, independent treatment expected for establishing standalone notability.
The strongest independent coverage comes from 2023 reporting by BBC News, The Economic Times, Moneycontrol, The Indian Express, The Independent, and NDTV regarding the Humans of Bombay v. People of India copyright dispute. However, this coverage is fundamentally about the controversy and the company, with Mehta appearing in her role as founder and CEO. That material is already appropriately covered in the Humans of Bombay article and does not, by itself, justify a separate biography.
Additional sources concerning her pregnancy announcement are derived from her own social-media posts and subsequently recycled across entertainment and lifestyle desks. These are routine news updates rather than significant biographical coverage.
The academic sources do not materially strengthen the case. The Current Sociology paper uses Mehta as an example within a broader discussion and is not a study of her. The Rao and Sinha work is primarily a case study of Humans of Bombay, not an in-depth treatment of Mehta as an individual.
The remaining material—awards, TEDx appearances, podcasts, YouTube content, and routine career milestones—does not establish notability under WP:BIO. Likewise, there is no indication that her books satisfy the requirements of WP:AUTHOR.

Ultimately, a WP:THREE challenge cannot be met. After excluding interview-based coverage, project-centric coverage, routine announcements, and other weak sources, there do not appear to be three independent, reliable sources providing substantial coverage of Mehta herself. What is notable here is Humans of Bombay, and that topic is already covered in its own article. Redirecting this title to Humans of Bombay would be a reasonable outcome per WP:ATD-R.

As to the recently-added material related to Mehta's announcement of undergoing an egg-freezing procedure; she was noted by a peer-reviewed academic source [28] as an example, i.e. the ‘choice’ to seek to freeze their eggs and delay conception is marketed as an empowering ‘choice’ exercised by successful women, namely entrepreneurs and celebrities. CEOs, highly skilled female professionals, and celebrities dot the coverage on egg freezing reportage, like the one below; another source in the article [29] contextualizes her announcement as sparking a conversation about the procedure, after the initial coverage of her social media announcement, e.g. [30], and reactions on social media [31]. The scholarly notice is why I reassessed the depth of this coverage for inclusion in the article and its contribution to notability per the WP:BASIC guideline.

While the facts stated by you are not untrue, but the other fact is equally true, which is that a Hindi film, of good or bad performance, generally has a Wikipedia page, more so because of huge following of people with interest in Hindi films, who want to know about films and their related facts.

Moreover, the director Mr K C Bokadia was once a big director and people would be interested in knowing about his failed film as well.

In totality, though the film bombed, but it seems to be good enough to have a wikipedia page, considering all these relevant factors, and it is for these reasons that I created this page.

Rest is for the editors to decide. Endofworld123 (talk) 01:38, 12 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

What's needed is to show that the film meets WP:NFILM and specifically how it meets that guideline. Fully developing the review section would be a big help - not a quote from the review and certainly not just putting the headline (utterly useless!). Ravensfire (talk) 05:47, 12 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

"Utterly useless", a quote from the review or its headline??? What are you talking about? No, that's helpful, mind you. If you want to develop the section the way FILMMOS says, sure, feel free. And there are other paths to notability (more specific, NFIC, or more general, GNG, etc). Anyway, I'm seeing 4 full-length reviews on the page (including one from Film Information and one from News18; they seem independent and reliable, they are -evidently- significant coverage) so Keep precisely per Wikipedia:NFILM. ~2026-34615-72 (talk) 09:46, 12 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting the headline and that's it from a review is 100% useless. Headlines are often rewritten by editors, are there to grab attention and don't represent a summary of the article. It's pure editor laziness. And I did fix it - I removed the crap from the article. You're more than welcome to actually do it right of course. Ravensfire (talk) 13:23, 12 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

"It's pure editor laziness." Oh yeah? "the crap".....OK, I see. How kind and considerate of you. A direct quote from the review? Lazy and useless? I don't think so. And even the headlines CAN be accurate and helpful. You fixed it by removing them? OK. Sure. Thank you very much. But even if a summary is probably better, a quotation is far from bad and better than nothing.

But, then, if it's fixed, why do you want someone else to summarise the reviews (your ES). Is that not "lazy"? No one is forced to do anything. If there's something you think needs fixing, again, feel free. "You're more than welcome to actually do it right of course." Do what? Fully develop the summary reviews? No, I'm not interested and won't. You're more than welcome to actually do it right yourself, of course. That edit (for which I thank you, honestly) showed that you yourself realised that removing them was not only lazy but borderline disruptive and that naming the reviews even with issues is a good start.

Also, more importantly, WP:NOTABILITY clearly says: " Notability requires only that suitable independent, reliable sources exist in the real world; it does not require their immediate presence or citation in an article." And, that is not even an issue because the sources ARE on the article. AfD is not for cleanup. Again, as you knew, 4 reviews cited so please explain how your concern expressed above is not addressed "What's needed is to show that the film meets WP:NFILM and specifically how it meets that guideline."

I am not particularly interested in that film and I haven't watched it; so I will leave it at that, notability being in my view clearly demonstrated by the existence of at least two full-length reviews. Thank you. ~2026-34615-72 (talk) 14:45, 12 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Which reviewer are you talking about? In the case of Bollywood Ki Baatein, I know him personally. He publishes review articles for ₹250 per article. Cine Buster charges around ₹500 per review article.

Delete, the draft takes precedence. Please confine this in draft space until the games are held. Geschichte (talk) 13:21, 17 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, with reservations; the wording of this argument worries me - draft space until the Games are held strikes me as a rejection of even the idea of a page collating accurate and noteworthy information of an upcoming event, and I can't agree with that as a quasi-policy, though it seems to accurately reflect some of the subjective personal feelings of some editors on such anticipatory articles, but it is not an accurate reflection of the rules, and it does nto justify deletion - whether the page is ready is an issue of whether it is well sourced, or has noteworthy information, not whether the event has occurred yet. Team selection for a significant sporting event, selections reported on numerous legitimate news sites and the Olympic website itself seems clearly notable, even before a gun is fired. If there is a sense that there is not enough sourcing, flag it, and maybe help out, but deleting the whole article simply seems unnecessarily destructive, and simply indulging some editors personal distaste for such sports event articles at all - and as stated, that's not really a good enough reason for deletion.

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.

Neutral question With all of these schools, are these schools with an association with the university as in they share transcripts and computer systems, or is this just more they have a larger university accredit the schools and allow admission to the larger school? It really isn't made clear what an affiliation with these schools entails. Nathannah • 📮 02:04, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@NathannahYea I know it gets confusing for those outside india.. well basically it’s kinda like remote locations for these bigger universities. Something similar to what we have in the US with NYU having campuses in Shanghai, or Columbia having a separate Barnard college. The thing is india has millions of students and universities cannot fit everyone on one campus. The government allows these massive universities to "affiliate" hundreds of smaller, private, or local colleges so they can scale up education while keeping the academic standards and degrees standardized across the region. Everything else.. faculty etc are of the smaller college themselves and share no relation whatsoever to the bigger one. Just the exams and the final diploma would be set and given by the larger university. So idk how to put it, it’s not really a school of the said university.. but rather kinda like a subsidiary the uni gives authority to in order to teach students that could not be fit into the main campus.. hope this answers your question Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 06:34, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
