Hello all! I'm in the process of making some pretty extensive edits to this article (mostly removing portfolio-esque content copied from LinkedIn), but need some additional sources for verification. My searches in English are turning up very few results. Any help getting this off the ground would be appreciated - thanks! jellyfish ✉ 23:47, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
Moving Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshwadeep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu Administrative Service to Danics
[edit]Due to the excessively long name of this article, I think it should be moved back to DANICS (which is currently a redirect to Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu Administrative Service to DANICS) due to it being the most common name used by sources. I put this topic here instead of the main article due to how little traction it gets. Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 14:24, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
The state of Indian media
[edit]A thought-provoking interview of Rajdeep Sardesai [1]. I remember him being cocky about it a year or two ago. Now he sounds completely despondent. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:14, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, about 9 to 10 years ago, Indian media became deprecated. Bearian (talk) 15:50, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Please see Wikipedia:ICTFSOURCES and User:Ms Sarah Welch/sandbox/Paid news and private treaties. Bearian (talk) 15:55, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Even on Wikipedia they are mostly unusable for establishing any form of notability, not to mention how most of them support the ruling party. - Ratnahastin (talk) 15:56, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- This month, Caravan profiled News18 and it cannot be nearer to truth. The amount of ludicrous junk they have pushed on Sambhal Mosque boggles my mind. Probably, nothing except The Indian Express, The Hindu, and The Dainik Bhaskar are worth relying upon anymore. Upd Edit (talk) 17:58, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- The freedom allowed for each media house has been circumscribed individually. Nobody is immune. Even we are not. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:32, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Greeshma Kuthar, a freelance journalist who in my opinion produced the best reporting on the Manipur violence, also made a lot of remarks on the state of media coverage in an interview with Frontliine. There is also full transcript of the interview.
She didn't get into it in the interview, but revealed on twitter several times that she had a lot of difficulty getting her articles published even after she wrote them. We can only imagine why. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:59, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Bearian (talk) 15:42, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
Can someone please source this? I can’t find any information or references. Bearian (talk) 15:48, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Bearian seems it has some notability based on google news search. e.g. see this (uses "kanthalloor", but must be same as Kantallur). I can try to find better source(s). Asteramellus (talk) 15:57, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. Bearian (talk) 15:58, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oh seems there is a page for Kantalloor so now not sure if this "Kantallur" is a different village. But will try to look. Asteramellus (talk) 16:05, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. Bearian (talk) 15:58, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

This stub is a disaster. Please let’s fix it. Bearian (talk) 20:44, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
I was going to propose deleting it, but that was already rejected. The text and the title don’t match, but I’m unsure if it’s vandalized or an error. Can you please fix this? Bearian (talk) 01:30, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Seems there are many pages like this (e.g. see Bacharam) - maybe they are notable regionally (but I was not able to find many sources), and someone added them originally. Anumantharayan Kottai mentioned in the lead seems a different village! so must be a mistake. Also, seems city is spelled differently (Pithalaipatti) in google maps. And interestingly, google maps quick facts shows wiki's lead paragraph with the incorrect village name. Asteramellus (talk) 20:44, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting! Can you fix it? Or send it to WP:AfD so we can start from scratch? Bearian (talk) 01:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
I’m proposing to merge a hamlet and a school into this small community. Bearian (talk) 01:57, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Please find sources. There is no Tamil language article. Bearian (talk) 21:11, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
The article Inai has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unreferenced and unimproved almost 15 years. No relevant and reliable sources online Google news, newspapers, books, or scholar. Not named on Open Source map. Apparently very small village. Not enough information to merge. Willing to redirect.

The article Gandhali has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unreferenced and unimproved 15 years. No reliable sources online Google news, newspapers, books, or scholar. Run of the mill, very small village. What little is on the page is trivia. Not enough useful information to merge.

- Added a ref, de-prodded since it now meets WP:NGEO, and removed unsourced fluff from the article. The same ref can now be used for any unreferenced article about a village in Jalgaon district. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:43, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
The article Mondipalayam has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unreferenced and unimproved 15 years. The Bhavani taluk does not exist any more, and the Mylambadi subdivision does not exist. Unverified, run of the mill, very small village. Not enough information to merge.

Bearian (talk) 20:26, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Bearian Not sure if you saw the comment for the other proposed deletion of Gandhali, but looks like these villages articles may meet WP:NGEO. I am not quite clear after reading WP:NGEO, but I am guessing that they need to be kept and not deleted. Asteramellus (talk) 22:21, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- I can't emphasize enough that it's very important that you need to put in a source before it can be deprodded. If you insist, and want to be difficult, I'll take it to WP:AfD. Again, the easy-peasy approach is to add a reference. Thank you for improving this project. Bearian (talk) 01:26, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Bearian Oh I too support the proposed deletion for this page and other such minimally developed unsourced pages! But I was just highlighting what I saw & mentioned by the other editor regarding WP:NGEO. Asteramellus (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

The article Srinivasa Higher Secondary School, Melaiyur has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSCHOOL. Several searches with Google and sub-engines show nothing besides social media posts and Wikimapia, which both fail WP:SELFPUB. TL;DR, no sources, no notability.

- We Wikipedians are in the process of cleaning up a 15-year backlog of unsourced and unimproved articles. I plan to take a two-week break over the Christmas holidays, but I'm still volunteering on my birthday. Bearian (talk) 14:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
- Left unsaid is that many of the single purpose accounts who created these articles and pages are no longer volunteering. It's an excellent example of Brandolini's law. Bearian (talk) 14:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
