Regarding CSD G3 Vandalism

Nasir Khanjan really does not fall under G3 or even close. G3 is for actual vandalism - bad-faith hoaxes, content that offends, etc. This does none of that. G3 assumes that the contributor probably contributed with bad faith, so I would only use it in very blatant cases. Any other time, don't use that criterion. Appable ( talk | contributions) 20:42, 20 December 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Appable A mistake from my part. The content of the article referring him as a Facebook sensation made me tag it for speedy deletion. After that I checked the sources and nominated it in AFD... Rameshnta909 ( talk) 20:47, 20 December 2016 (UTC) reply
Even if it did claim him as a Facebook sensation with no references, i would probably go for something like A7 (if there were no sources and no elaboration on how he's a Facebook sensation). Frankly, if it's a coherent article about a person that actually probably exists, it's not G3 - even if it's about their two-month-old baby, it's more likely a misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is about than a bad-faith content introduction.

Please be more careful in nominating articles to AfD - your accuracy has been hit and miss at best. For example, you failed to realise that educational institutions high school level or higher are assumed to be notable. I would advise you to stop nominating articles for deletion until you read WP:GNG fully. Please only nominate articles for deletion when you have read WP:GNG and the subject specific notability page. Frivolous nominations are disruptive and only cause distress to the page creator and extra work for other editors. Thank you.

Not to pile on, but I'll put this here since the discussion was already started. First, I am quite happy that there is a serious editor with native language skills such as yourself that is helping in the India-related article. That said, it would be even more helpful if your summaries of why an article should be deleted were more informative. General hand-waves such as: "Fails GNG," or, "Fails NBIO," are not as helpful as: "All references in the article are to non-independent sources and searches find no RS," or, "Notability derives entirely from being mentioned on Donald Trump's Twitter account and no evidence exists of independent notability." I made these examples up, but I trust you get the point. It helps other editors, especially with such broad guidelines as GNG and NBIO, if they have some idea of where you think an article fails.

Supporting Indian Wikipedia Program resource distribution

In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:

(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and
(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.

Supporting Indian Wikipedia Program resource distribution

In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:

(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and
(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.
