The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was procedural close. Given the
SPI investigation outcome, it is clear that the nomination was made in bad faith by User:DJRSD.
If a rough consensus holds that the nomination was made in bad faith, the page may be speedily kept.
To maintain integrity of the AfD, I am closing this discussion without comment on the discussion and users may renominate without prejudice. Seddontalk 23:00, 12 September 2021 (UTC)reply
Weak keep, websites don't need in-depth coverage (
WP:NCORP is not applicable to them), they only need non-trivial coverage in multiple independent sources which
itdoeshave although a bit borderline, see
WP:WEBCRIT. Alternatively, it's founder is clearly notable with in-depth coverage so it could have been redirected there but can't really suggest that since that article doesn't exist yet. Tayi ArajakateTalk 04:39, 29 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Greetings,
Tayi Arajakate. Its founder may be notable but that does not mean at all that everything the founder did or does create is notable as well. We have the explicit
WP:NOTINHERITED. -

Strong Keep: Oneindia is one of the leading national and regional news portal in India. And looking to the contribution history
[1], most probably the person who listed it for an AfD is nothing but a joke. -

Iamrajdeepdas, What is a joke in my contribution history? And on what ground you put 'strong keep'? Please clarify.

As a sockpuppet, DJRSD, you are worse than a joke.

Comment: @
DJRSD: Your contribution is showing that you're tagging useful pages for an
AfD . In this case, the ref list for the OneIndia article is less but this donesn't mean that this subject is meaningless. OneIndia is one of the largest news portals following by the
Times of India,
Indian Express,
News18 and similar big news organizations. Sometimes the subject is strong enough to demonstrate its notability. And you have already received notice for this kind of contribution history

Keep per Tayi and Iamrajdeepdas. Borderline, but there appears to be enough coverage. —

Delete. The sourcing by Tayi Arajakate is pretty thin (as in short and not very detailed). It's not in depth enough to count as significant coverage in my opinion. Further, some of the sources are not even about the portal itself but about mergers and acquisitions of the business arm of the company. As such,
WP:NCORP does apply. The portal is a product of the company which operates it, so we have to weigh sources accordingly. There's really not enough content about the portal itself to pass SIGCOV, as we are blending two essentially different topics. You can't use articles essentially about the finances of the business/corporation side of the organization operating the portal without looking at NCORP as a guide.

Delete since there are simply
not enoughsources out there with anything substantial or specific abt this web corporation. Claiming simply that "there are many sources" simply
won't do: The proof of burden is on those who claim enough notability is out there. -

Weak Keep; I don't know what
WP:BEFORE search yielded or if people know these sources already but I found the following sources. Another possibility is to redirect these to a non existing
Greynium Information Technology and include the various portals/brands it owns. See the following sources:
The links proffered above by
Shushugah are extremely weak: Two are about another corporation interested in OneIndia or buying shares of it (
here and
here), while
this link (to a publication assessed by Shushugaha as of doubtful reliability & dependence) is about the corporation's managing director and
not our subject. We still have nothing - and not for lack of trying to find something. -
