 * Redirect to Target_rating_point. Many reliable sources have covered the channel in articles about the scam. Since there is an existing article on TRP, with encyclopedic information about the channel and scam, Fakt Marathi should be redirected there. Prior to the scam there was hardly any coverage other than those in paid PR sites. So this TV channel does not appear to be notable on its own. --Walrus Ji (talk) 08:06, 1 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, I am AM42576, one of the major editors of Fakt Marathi Channel Wikipedia Page. I am not as associated with the channel in any way. I also do not understand the reason as to why the channel’s article has been nominated for deletion. If you want me to add details about the channel’s TRP Fraud. Then surely I will do it. Please answer my question. Thank You —-AM42576 ([User talk:|talk]]) 14:28, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Tremendously sorry Walrus Ji for copping your signature. I am new to Wikipedia. I do not know much about it as I have became a part of it, just a few weeks ago. I appreciate your guidelines and will incorporate them soon. Firstly, I am not getting paid to edit this article and I am just a pure fan of this channel as I love it. Secondly, I will try to prove the WP:Notability of this tv channel. —-Thank You AM42576 13:57, 1 January 2021

You need to include links from WP:Reliable Source to back up your claims. Please read Help:My article got nominated for deletion!. Walrus Ji (talk) 12:09, 1 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi Walrus Ji, I thought of thinking adding details about Fakt Marathi channel TRP manipulation scam. I think this action will prove the TV Channel’s WP:Broadcast and I am also backing up with WP:Reliable Sources. The following is my paragraph “ On October 8 2020, Fakt Marathi Channel was alleged by the Mumbai Police to be involved in the TRP Manipulation scam. The racket was mainly about Television Rating Point (TRP) which is a tool to judge the popularity of a channel and a tv programme. TRP is calculated using barometer on the basis of TV Channel viewership in a confidential set of households. As per the revelation, those involved in the racket bribed people in these households and asked them to keep some channels switched on even when they weren't watching or not at home. The Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) releases weekly rating points for TV channels in India and its officials were also being questioned in connection with the case. There are 2,000 barometers installed in Mumbai to monitor TRPs. For monitoring these barometers BARC gave contract to Hansa Research Agency. BARC is an industry body set up to design, commission, supervise and own an accurate, reliable and timely TV audience measurement system and is guided by recommendations of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. It helps provide data points to plan media spends more effectively. In this racket three other media companies were involved. The owner of the Fakt Marathi Channel was taken in custody and arrested by the Mumbai Police. Later, the owner was granted bail by Mumbai Police. Mumbai’s Additional Sessions Judge PR Sitre granted bail to the channel’s owner on a bond of Rs 50,000. The owner’s lawyer said that “ his client did not manipulate the TRP nor did it increase the TRP of the Marathi channel. He said that the revenue of the channel also did not increase during the relevant period.” Please review my paragraph and let me know your feedback as soon as possible. —-Thank You 14:13, 2 January 2021 (UTC)


 * , I think you should read the page AFD help properly. Your comment does not prove that Fakt Marathi is passing the criteria listed on the page WP:BROADCAST. You have not listed a single reliable source in your above comment. Anyway, I am not an admin to judge your comment. I have made my opinion clear in my first comment. My opinion remains unchanged about the redirect. An admin will decide on your opinion in seven days. Good Luck. --Walrus Ji (talk) 12:45, 2 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Dear editors of Fakt Marathi, Can I please understand why this source is deleted frequently, eventhough I have used some sections of that source, other editors have disagree with that and they repeatedly remove that reference from the article. Please give an brief explanation for this. —-Thank You AM42576 12:43, 3 January 2021
 * I asked you to read Reliable sources, but it is clear that instead of reading the page that has all the answers you are choosing to shoot questions. It is a user generated site, it is not reliable. If you keep adding it, you will get blocked from editing. --Walrus Ji (talk) 08:11, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:37, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect as suggested, and per WP:TNT - the formatting and language is terrible and would take many hours to fix. Bearian (talk) 14:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
