Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hinduism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Hinduism. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Hinduism|~~~~}} 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 Hinduism. 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.

Changu Narayan Temple (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This monument, although recognized by UNESCO, isn't encyclopedic enough in its current state (the article was full of unsourced paragraphs). Furthermore, there's only one source, which I can't open. JacktheBrown (talk) 15:00, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would say recognition as a Unesco world heritage site confers notability, though I'm not sure. is there a guideline/policy on this? Dāsānudāsa (talk) 16:41, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Unesco world heritage makes the temple notable. A quick search reveals coverage by multiple reliable sources. Even if the article current state needs to be improved, I think, that is not a valid reason for deletion. The article could be tagged instead. I will try to improve it as soon as I have some free time. Marcocanol (talk) 19:36, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep: This is basically an erronous nomination due to lack of knowledge in the nominators part. The fact that it is a unesco heritage site should have hinted to search for the source, instead of vandalizing the article and nominating for deletion.nirmal (talk) 06:39, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep: This article is about a historical site which is notable. if the content is unsourced, try finding sources or use maintenance templates, also you can remove the unsourced material. But the nomination for deletion is wrong.
