"Balotra News" lacks significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, making it not notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. Further, It Fails WP:NMEDIA and WP:GNG.

- "Balotra News" is a notable and relevant topic, it should have a Wikipedia page. Notability can be established if there are reliable sources and references to support its significance. Deleting such a page would deprive readers of valuable information. Moxrathorebalotra ( talk) 17:26, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - Material online appears to be largely promotional/non-independent in nature. The sources in the article are insufficient, and I can't see coverage elsewhere that would indicate notability by
WP:GNG or any other standard. Also not finding references to stories picked up from Balotra in larger, reliable Indian news soures. —

- Deleting the Wikipedia page of Balotra News would deprive people of access to information about this important news source in their own language. Not everyone is fluent in English, and the Wikipedia page for Balotra News is available in several other languages, including Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati. Deleting the English page would make it more difficult for people who do not speak English to access information about this news outlet.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Already PROD'd so not eligible for Soft Deletion. The AFD tag has been removed from this article several times so that's something to keep an eye on.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 19:49, 6 September 2023 (UTC)- The Wikipedia page for Balotra News is well-written and informative. It provides a comprehensive overview of the news outlet, its history, and its current activities. Deleting it would be a loss of valuable information.
