Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Income Tax Department (India) raids 2016–2017


 * 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. While there is one support for a merge, the content itself is a spinoff and therefore can be added back to the main article through basic reverts of the timming. The arguments for delete appear to have stronger foundation in policy. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  00:08, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

A partial spinoff of a section of Indian 500 and 1000 rupee note demonetisation bolstered into an article.I find little encycloepadic value of a list of all the persons who were raided by IT dept. oficials in a particular year.Wikipedia is not a chronological repository of all income tax raids performed in a particular time duration in a region and the details of the money thus recovered.and the raids are a notable aspect! Will the article-creator create similar articles about the income-tax raids that has taken place every year? Bombarding an article with numerous WP:RS hardly points to any notabilty on such general issues.Also see WP:NOTNEWS.

This article covers details about, raids conducted by Income Tax Department, which is an official work of Income Tax Department,.Junosoon (talk) 08:40, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Disagree : This article is about Income Tax raids,financial year 2016-2017 not just after 8 November 2016. 8 November 2016, notification has nothing to with Income Tax Raids, that notification was limited to legal character of banknote.
 * -Maybe, you can start a page about all the incidents of thefts etc. that happened in India.(They are well reported by WP:RS and there are official investigations into every one of them by the concerned police department!) Light ❯❯❯ Saber 10:17, 23 December 2016 (UTC)


 *  Comment: Request to nominator: I think this is borderline disruptive or Competence is required, on nomination as Content forking is not an eligible reason to nominated for deletion, the nominator can share views/ issues on talk page of article, which are welcomed if any improvement to article is needed.Junosoon (talk) 09:29, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * -Well, I may be incompetent-at least definitely in my failure to bring every little issue to the WP:ANI! Light ❯❯❯ Saber 10:17, 23 December 2016 (UTC).
 * Is this some sort of personal attack, you are creating here little issue to the WP:ANI, I think if that is the reason of your nomination!, it is getting very messy.If you have any personal problem discuss on talk page, or article talk page .Junosoon (talk) 11:03, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * -There's a difference between sarcasm and personal attack! Let us not go off-topic but wait for the consensus of the community on the issue. Light ❯❯❯ Saber 11:08, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as a redundant content fork and per WP:NOTNEWS. The article does not cover an actual notable coordinated law enforcement operation, but rather a list of raids that happened to be in the same time period (no surprise there). We already have an article on the overarching event and it's Indian 500 and 1000 rupee note demonetisation (specifically, sections #Effects and aftermath and #Evasion attempts).

 * Article under construction. In light of above discussion, the content forking complain A partial spinoff of a section of Indian 500 and 1000 rupee note demonetisation has been addressed, by removing it from article. The new sections are under construction, and will reimproved as per discussion. Thanks for your cooperation. Junosoon (talk) 03:24, 24 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Strong merge into Income Tax Department and create a redirect as this will benefit both the articles. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  03:43, 24 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete There is nothing notable in raids conducted by Income Tax Department in a particular year. It does not warrant a separate page. At best merge into Income Tax DepartmentChunnuBhai (talk) 11:48, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Did You check g hits, of Income Tax raids before commenting on notability. Junosoon (talk) 04:12, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * 'Income Tax raids' is a very generic term. It will obviously have many results. No of Google hits is not a fool proof measure of notability.  ChunnuBhai (talk) 05:12, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Have you verified, contents in the article with, inline citations and sources in the article.! Yes or Not!?Junosoon (talk) 05:49, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Mere existence of citations does not ensure notability which may warrant a separate page for 2016-2017 . If the modus operandi had been completely different from earlier years, that would atleast differentiate 2016-2017 from earlier years. As i may have pointed out at other places on wikipedia, anything and everything related to demonetisation may not warrant a separate page. ChunnuBhai (talk) 05:51, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * , It sounds, very discouraging for other editors, if you have some sort of conflict of interest or ownership of content in demonetisation ( which one!!) kindly be specific, As i may have pointed out at other places on wikipedia, anything and everything related to demonetisation may not warrant a separate pageJunosoon (talk) 07:47, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Your concerns for being specific on 2016-2017, have been answered, as this year operations have been a Joint Operations with other agencies, including data mining tracking .Junosoon (talk) 08:17, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Joint operations dont cut the ice for wikipedia notability, they happen all the time. None of the law enforcement agencies in any country work in isolation. I definitely dont have any ownership on any topic, but looking at your contribs, they are definitely bordering on mindless edits and page creations without content. eg The Indian Coinage Act, 1906, Persons With Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 ,Ajmer–Sealdah Express 2016 accident ChunnuBhai (talk) 09:06, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
