Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digoo


 * 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   delete. The sole "keep" comment, referring to an error made in the nomination, does not actually give a reason for the article to be kept. Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:36, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Digoo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can't find that the subject of this article exists. I tried a few Google searches and couldn't find anything. A Google Maps search for "Digoo" near Kashmir produces no hits. The only reference that was listed in the article seems to point to a blank page at an existing website. I can't say that this is a hoax because it's not particularly surprising that references wouldn't exist in English but I can't find any indication of notability and the only indication of importance that I can see is essentially the use of the word castle.

 * Please note that when I nominated this article for deletion, I misread the subject to be a "castle" instead of a "caste". I have reevaluated the article and still feel that it should be deleted.  I have given my reasoning below.  Ol Yeller21  Talktome  21:38, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment This article is about a caste, not a castle. I still can't find any sources on it myself, but other people should make a note of that when looking for them. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:53, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Well... that's embarrassing. I'll reassess my nomination sometime today.  Ol Yeller21  Talktome  15:49, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * KeepThe article is about a caste...,mistakes happen.. its okay,but you need to withdraw the nomination? Uncletomwood (talk) 07:24, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment What reason would you give for keeping it? "Nominator said castle instead of caste" is not a valid reason. --Atlantima (talk) 20:04, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * As Atlantima pointed out, that's not a good reason to keep and you haven't cited any source or inclusion guideline that would indicate that this article should be kept. All you've done is pointed out a mistake.  See my reasoning for delete below.  Ol Yeller21  Talktome  21:38, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to Kashmiri Muslims. Existence has not been proven, let alone notability. Google returns no relevant results besides mirrors of this article. --Atlantima (talk) 20:13, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge - It's be pointed out already that I made a mistake when I read "castle" instead of "caste" which are obviously two very different things. Still, a Google search produces a few results that show that it's a last name but I nothing about a caste.  A Google News search and Google News Archive search produce no hits at all.  A Google Books search produces one person on Facebook with that last name (don't ask my why the hell Facebook is showing up on Google Books).  A Google Scholar search also produces no hits at all.  I'm not opposed to a merge because it's certainly possible that there's a language barrier making it difficult to find information about this caste but given that the only thing I can find is a few cases where people have Digoo as a last name, I'm leaning towards delete.

 * Delete. Without reliable sources, there isn't even anything which could be merged. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:06, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
