Gokak agitation

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears abandoned by its creator, and right now contains no real useful information. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 05:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletions.   -- Mereda 07:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - Do NOT delete. Gokak agitation is probably the single biggest agitation in recent Karnataka history.  It is just a stub that needs to be expanded and improved.  I just marked it as stub.  But the issue is 100% encyclopedic and notable.  Sarvagnya 08:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's an an encyclopedic topic and the current article is as at least useful as a basic stub, with two references from which it could be expanded. --Delirium 08:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There are good sources on this 1980s language rights campaign, though they weren't in the article when it was nominated 14 days after creation. --Mereda 08:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong and Speedy Keep - This article is not for deletion. I just came across this article, when it was linked to Rajkumar article. It was/is certainly an important topic, with a wide coverage from both people and media. The article is undergoing further improvements from several users, and certainly there is a huge scope for improvement. I am doing whatever I can to improve this article. - KNM Talk 14:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - This is an important topic which defenitately needs improvements. I have worked on providing some more references and imporoved some sections. -- Naveen  (talk) 14:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep -- abandonded by it's author. What sort of reason is that for deletion? =Nichalp   «Talk»=  14:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. We are ever a work in progress.  Abandonment is never grounds to delete worthwhile information on a worthy subject, which this seems to be.  Even if this is incomplete, I learned something from reading it. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Gokak agitation is an important chapter in the history of Karnataka. I don't think "abandoned by creator(which apparently is me)" can be considered as the valid reason for deletion. In that case there are thousands of articles in wiki to be deleted. And regarding "real useful information", it does contains now, thanks to editors like Mereda, KNM, Sarvagnya and Naveenbm.

 * Strong Keep A very important social issue pertaining to the history of modern Karnataka state and Kannada language.Dineshkannambadi 18:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per significant improvements. "Abandoned by its creator" should never be a reason to delete unless the article would have been deleted anyway and the creator requested some additional time (which I don't think is the case here). -- Black Falcon 19:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - a very prominent part of kannada history. Baka man  23:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per Sarvagnya and Black Falcon --Iwazaki 13:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Snowball - the current article is not the one-line stub, that was nominated for AFD. -- Petri Krohn 04:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
