Dinda Academy of Pace Bowling

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly sourced article about a niche social media meme with no evidence of passing the ten year test for enduring significance. This describes its subject as a "hypothetical cricket academy created by a facebook page", but that's not really an accurate description -- it's just a phrase used to mock people, in exactly the same way as any person whose errors of behaviour or skill resemble somebody else's can be mocked as having attended "Other Person School": "the Donald Trump school of Twitter diplomacy", the "Justin Trudeau school of public relations crisis management", the "Theresa May school of leadership", the "Angela Merkel school of public speaking", etc. And there aren't nearly enough references to actually get the phrase over WP:GNG as a phrase; two mention the phrase in the process of being about the people who are being labelled rather than about the phrase per se, and the third just tangentially verifies a stray fact about the namesake's cricket stats without even mentioning the phrase at all. None of this adds up to a reason why a Wikipedia article about this phrase would be necessary. Bearcat (talk) 18:39, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete This is verging on WP:ONEDAY. Non-notable / unsourced meme. Spike &#39;em (talk) 19:12, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete the Article because it's not notable itself.Forest90 (talk) 21:25, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - what an utter disaster. Preferably deleted as rapidly as possible and whatever sanction necessary placed on the editor who created this piece of utter trash. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:49, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wow, one of the worst articles I've ever seen on here. They could at least troll this overrated guy who steals a living! StickyWicket (talk) 16:51, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page should not be delete. It is a real page on the name of a "trolling" academy in India. It describes all the incidents which happend on social media during IPL 2019. And Cricket fans trolled some bowlers after their poor performance in IPL 2019. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirza.shoaib.baig.321 (talk • contribs) 18:25, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * But why is this notable? Please see a list of what wikipedia is not, including not a social network, not a newspaper, not a fansite, and particularly here not for something made up one day. Spike &#39;em (talk) 10:09, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
