Coloring India Foundation

Barring some quasi-promotion-ally written news-pieces in local metro-editions, which may be PR stuff, nothing resemblant to significant coverage that makes it pass the stringent requirements of WP:NCORP and distinguishes it from the numerous NGOs, sprouting here and there with innovative ideas/aims..... ~ Winged Blades Godric 03:27, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep As far as i know article have two independent reliable news references Like the Hindu and Indian Express both are reliable national news source and i did bit research on google and i think it's notable Heshiv (talk) 12:01, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete – fails WP:ORG & WP:GNG. Both of the previous !votes are based on the two cited sources – & . But both of these sources are advertisements of the organization's workshops & they are filled with promotional statements from the organization's founders. In short, they fail WP:ORGIND. We need independent & in-depth coverage for notability which is totally missing here. In fact, leaving behind these two adverts, I couldn't find any coverage of this organization in reliable sources. - NitinMlk (talk) 21:37, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment – Even if we ignore the fact that the two aforementioned sources aren't independent, they hardly contain any information about the organisation. Here's the relevant quotes from the two sources:


 * First source: "Pencil and Chai, a fine arts gurukul by Colouring India Creative Arts Centre, was started more than three years."...."They also organise monthly workshops with eminent artists from across the country."....."The institute also issues certificates at the end of the year-long course."
 * Second source: "Organised by Color-In India, this is the sixth edition of ‘Hues of Watercolours’, a series of workshops focusing on this beautiful technique." Other couple of relevant lines from this source are just the repeat of the first source.
 * So, we have basically around four relevant lines, which is surely nowhere close to what we require for a standalone article.


 * , can you tell me how the above 3–4 lines from the two non-independent sources are sufficient for meeting WP:ORG or WP:GNG?


 * , you mentioned that "i did bit research on google and i think it's notable". It seems you've found some extra sources. If so, please share them here. - NitinMlk (talk) 22:40, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak delete for subject lacking clear notability, per WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. Only two sources dug up, one of which, The Hindu, reports on Colour-in India, the same organization. Most of the text reads like infomercially-placed promotional material. Hopefully, though (since the outfit seems to be doing valuable work), a case of WP:TOOSOON. -The Gnome (talk) 11:19, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
