Good article reassessment for Kempegowda International Airport
[edit]Kempegowda International Airport has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 18:01, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
The article Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Red Flag has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unreferenced and unimproved almost 15 years. Difficult to search for sources due to similar names of various factions. We are not Ballotpedia.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- @Bearian Thanks for being proactive in cleaning up articles, seems many such in India related. This particular one, even if is kept for any reason, those red links can be at least removed. Asteramellus (talk) 12:48, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Tina Dabi
[edit]Tina Dabi has been deleted twice, once in 2017, which seems like the right call, but the article was recreated and AfD'd in October, and this time I'm not so sure. The deletion rationale in 2017 was that the only thing she was notable for was having come in first in the civil service exam, but that rationale doesn't seem to really cover her any more as -- unless I'm reading the sources incorrectly, and I'm open to that as I'm no expert in Indian sources -- she seems to have become an actual celebrity. Her ex-husband gets coverage because he's Tina Dabi's ex.[1] Yes, she's simply a government official doing her job, but she's apparently become a celebrity too. Does it really matter that she only became notable for a single event if she's now nearly ten years later an actual celebrity? If every tabloid is covering her every move and even Economic Times[2] is doing a feature and the Hindustan Times[3] and ThePrint[4] are covering the fact she's gotten engaged and Times of India is calling her out for extra coverage instead of just listing her under 'other notable transfers' in otherwise routine coverage,[5] does it matter if the only reason she initially captured the public's attention was that single event?
Or is all this likely paid coverage? Valereee (talk) 13:21, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

- Likely paid coverage as the links you have cited with the exception of The Print have only generic bylines and do not identify a reporter, these issues are documented at WP:NEWSORGINDIA. - Ratnahastin (talk) 13:26, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks...okay, so here's a byline piece from Hindustan Times that certainly doesn't have the puffery feel of paid coverage.[6] Between that and ThePrint, that would be two instances of sig cov with a byline...I'm usually open to accepting two as long as they're both national publications. Valereee (talk) 13:44, 7 February 2025 (UTC) Valereee (talk) 13:44, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- And here's a lengthy byline piece from India Times.[7] Puffery, but the writer seems to write mostly 'heartwarming and inspiring' stuff, does that mean she writes paid content? Valereee (talk) 13:55, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- And this piece from The Swaddle[8] appears to be an analysis of casteism that uses her extensively as an example. Don't have any idea what The Swaddle is, but it appears to have editorial oversight, or at least an "editorial team". Valereee (talk) 14:19, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

- I don't see any notable, in-depth, extensive coverage on her. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 13:30, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment Sources 1 and 3 are in RS, but are trivial coverage. I'm not seeing notability. Oaktree b (talk) 15:23, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: I still believe that being an IAS officer is just a regular government job and doesn’t deserve special recognition. In India, we often treat these positions as if they make someone famous or important, but they are simply jobs meant to serve the public. We need to stop thinking this way and view these roles like any other government job. Tina Dabi is one example of how some officials get too much attention. The citations you have shared are Indian and may fall under WP:RSNOI. I suggest not accepting her article now or in the future, as it could set a wrong precedent and lead to a flood of similar pages on Wikipedia. If you want to refer to a few IAS/IPS or any Indian government officer pages as a benchmark, then refer to these: Kanwar Pal Singh Gill, T. N. Seshan, E. Sreedharan, Kiran Bedi, Sanjay Malhotra etc. They all were/are heading national-level portfolios, unlike Dabi, who is just a District Collector, at a very early stage of her career.
