Reviewed as new article patrol. This is about a classification term for irrigation projects in India. Only one secondary source given and IMO insufficient to establish wp:notability for this as a separate topic. This article consists of two sentences which I added to the Irrigation in India article so no material or references would be lost.

- Caveated keep/delete - If Minor irrigation project is deleted, then perhaps Major irrigation project should also be deleted. As such, both are referred to in Irrigation in India.
- Dealing solely with the merits of whether this article meets
WP:NOTABILITY (which is the only cause for proposed deletion claimed by the proposer), it appears that the article should be presumed to be notable because it appears to meet
WP:GNG in that there is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". I will note here that as per
WP:ARTN, notability is measured with respect to the subject, not the article. It appears the subject meets
WP:GNG because of the following coverage which is either extensive in the body content or is about the subject matter:
- Article in peer-reviewed Water Resources MAnagement
- Article in peer-reviewed Agricultural Water Management
- Article in peer-reviewed Irrigation and Drainage
- The Irrigation Sector (Book)
- Water Productivity in Agriculture: Limits and Opportunities for Improvement (Book)
- Tanks in Eastern India: A Study in Exploration (Book)
- Irrigation and Drainage Engineering (Book)
