First of all please be
civil when you talk. Quoting your word "Since you look new enough" is not decent way to address fellow editor and to build a
Good faith Consensus. Even if you suppose me to be new, it doesn't matter here. One should talk about article issues on article talk page and not judge one's experience. I understand
Wikipedia's Policies and Guidelines enough and know to where
WP:NLIST,
WP:N,
WP:STANDALONE applies.
One more unsolicited advice : Please Don't be uncivil in Edit Summaries when it doesn't meant reasonably correct or the consensus yet not reached. see
WP:SUMMARYNO
Again, You have reverted my edits without having consensus built upon it. This edit
[1] was clearly not adhering to WP:QUO . Quoting guideline "During a dispute discussion, until a consensus is established, you should not revert away" .
"Editors should not revert simply because of disagreement. Instead, explore alternative methods, such as raising objections on a talk page or following the processes in dispute resolution."
Moreover, Quoting more words "I anyway have spent enough time in grooming ISRO, created pages of Indian aerospace company and written most of this article too", hope you know
WP:OWNERSHIP, Soo many irrelevant statements regarding the issue.
1. "As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a directory, repository of links, or means of promotion"
2. "Avoid red-linking list entries that are not likely to have their own article soon or ever."
So, Before using these statements like, "Since you look new enough", "WP:NLIST has nothing to do with redlinks. Nor creating a standalone article establishes any notability", "I'm going to revert you again if you don't yourself", one have to know opinions are subjective and not to polarise the outcome of consensus by showing "Experience Criteria" and "Ownership Tones". Please don't act like
WP:ICANTHEARYOU. I hope it is pretty much clear to you now.
So, should I call for an RfC then or look for other ways of dispute resolution? Please be reasonable with words.
Well, I can't make sense of your aggression since when I say "May I help you" to new fellows, I'm assuming good faith actually.
As far as
WP:QUO is concerned, I have contradicted you in
WP:NLIST effectively. So, I didn't hesitate in reverting that as per
WP:BRD. Indeed I'm just citing my contribution on these articles which were entirely or mostly written by me, nominated for GA and DYK and I won't add just any random clutter here.
Also,
"1. "As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a directory, repository of links, or means of promotion"
As quoted in mainstream media, this entry was not promotional at all.
2. "Avoid red-linking list entries that are not likely to have their own article soon or ever."
As I told before, article is being drafted. You anyway removed entire entry and not redlink quoting
WP:NLIST.
So, Before using these statements like, "Since you look new enough", "WP:NLIST has nothing to do with redlinks."
You just can't misinterpret WP policies and just sideline people blaming of bullying and ownership whoever explain it you. You have to be
competent.
WP:WIKILAWYERING won't work. You made
this edit and it was reverted. Now per
WP:BRD you are supposed to discuss it before you would be restoring it. I have explained my reason, now it is your choice to provide a better explanation or use
WP:DR but I think this matter is too trivial for that. Aman Kumar Goel(Talk)13:09, 10 May 2022 (UTC)reply
All along I avoided discussing policy or theory on first place, and were applying reasoning or trying to negotiate consensus with
WP:LISTCRITERIA but you misinterpreted policies and acted like
WP:ICANTHEARYOU and compelled to discuss policies around it.
Quoting 1, "You just can't misinterpret WP policies and just sideline people blaming of bullying and ownership whoever explain it you.", "As far as
WP:QUO is concerned, I have contradicted you in
WP:NLIST effectively. So, I didn't hesitate in reverting that as per
WP:BRD."
Now, Please have a look that what it seems like "misinterpreting", As per
Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, (somewhat dependable method for dispute resolution not recommended though) it was performed by me in first place, see this edit
[2] and you were welcomed to discuss on talk page. This rule is applied when one seek for consensus not when there is an ongoing effort for building
good faithconsensus for the issue. See WP:BRD-NOT. So your reason for reverting, "So, I didn't hesitate in reverting that as per WP:BRD." doesn't stand here.
Quoting 2, "I can't make sense of your aggression", "You just can't misinterpret WP policies and just sideline people blaming of bullying and ownership whoever explain it you", "
WP:WIKILAWYERING won't work."
Aren't these
personal attacks? Are these words shows
Good Faith to fellow editors or checking competency? I am not using wikipedia's policies to make my point or
WP:WIKILAWYERING, because there is my effort for building encyclopedia with collaboration by adhering to policies, as the rule clearly states, "Avoid red-linking list entries that are not likely to have their own article soon or ever.", so I was suggesting in Good faith not to add redlinks entries like you said "just any random clutter" on list without having the article prepared.
Quoting 3, "You made this edit
[3] and it was reverted. Now per
WP:BRD you are supposed to discuss it before you would be restoring it."
Here Again, I removed it following
WP:LISTCRITERIA. The involved editor didn't asked for good faith consensus so I'm not supposed to discuss it. There need to be a seperate discussion for it with a new section and it won't help building consensus regarding the issue being discussed right now.
Quoting 4, "you anyway removed entire entry and not redlink quoting WP:NLIST."
The redlink comes with the informations for the rest of the domains of the list. So if any editor removes the redlinks it follows the removal of the rest related to it, otherwise it won't make sense.
Quoting 5, "Indeed I'm just citing my contribution on these articles which were entirely or mostly written by me, nominated for GA and DYK"
So, as it is perceived right now, you are discussing policy or theory and not here to make a
good faithconsensus since you reverted my edits without being reasonable and then acting like
WP:ICANTHEARYOU, accusing me of "sidelining people blaming of bullying and ownership", personal attacking throughout the discussion by not assuming
Good Faith actually and blaming with
WP:WIKILAWYERING, I will take to relevant discussion board then. Sneha04💬16:04, 10 May 2022 (UTC)reply

I am not sure that it reaches notability yet but the company certainly exists and links such as below indicate that it is worthy to be included on this page.
As a personal perspective I am okay with red links (as long as they are not the only one on a good article nominee, etc.) as they are a glorious possibility, an opportunity for future growth in the same way that I like the template
Template:R with possibilities.

The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
This is not a full review, just a comment, but I'm not sure this is ready to go. While an "expand" tag is fine, the "rewrite" tag is considered enough of a danger sign to generally stop an article from appearing on the front page at all. I realize you stuck it there yourself, but please resolve the issue. Additionally, I think the article has some mixed focus. The article should, in my opinion, specifically be on the industry side - corporations, factories, construction, that kind of thing, yet there's some parts that just seem to recap what ISRO has done. I realize that ISRO contracts are probably very closely tied to this, but I'd be careful about drawing a line to avoid repetition or unclear focus. Finally, I think the hook can use some work - what does launching a satellite "for" a country even mean? Were these contracts with national governments other than India? Or just any business involving entities from outside India? Did these launches use homegrown tech, or were these pre-assembled gear from elsewhere that just happened to be launched in India because it's at the right latitude? Source isn't really clear, it seems like puffery.

* the "rewrite" tag is considered enough of a danger sign to generally stop an article from appearing on the front page at all. It was me actually. I yet have planned to expand article and rewrite that section in a much better. But not have been getting sufficient time for a while. Better I do it now. Aman Kumar Goel(Talk)11:23, 3 March 2021 (UTC)reply
Sorry about the delay - your ping didn't seem to work, and as noted before, the above was just a comment, not a full review. That said, if you'd like me to do the review, sure, I can, but the original problem I brought up remains that the hook isn't very good, in my opinion. "Number of countries" is just not a useful metric here, it's very press release hypey, at least not without further clarification. The companies involved in producing an iPhone stretch through many countries; it's not a big deal. Are there any alternate hooks? Or are there any better sources than that Times of India article that actually clarify, in detail, what is actually being measured by this "for 33 countries"?

This is not a review but I'd suggest that the article be given a copyedit as the grammar feels off at times. The promotional tone mentioned above also seems to still exist and would need to be addressed before this nomination can be approved.
Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew14:29, 12 March 2021 (UTC)reply
Any update here on article quality / alternate hook ideas / prose quality? Leaning toward a reject, it's been a month or so and DYK is intended for the newest entries. No shame in not making DYK if the article just needs more time.

I saw, yes. We still have the issue of an appropriate hook. I also still think that some of the article, including the lede, focuses on some inappropriate metrics like "number of startups". Anyway, in the realm of more easily measurable thing, I think the raw number of satellites works better than the number of countries. Maybe something like this - thoughts, @
Aman.kumar.goel: ?
ALT1: ... that the space industry of India has supported the launch of more than 100 domestic satellites and more than 300 foreign satellites?
Nice clean up! The Alt1 hook is verified to the Times of India article. The article is new enough, long enough, and is now within policy.
Aman.kumar.goel should get credit for considerably expanding and improving; and
Raymond3023 for creating the article.
