India News Haryana

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:GNG, all given sources are either primary sources or routine coverage of executive changes in industry magazines of dubious reliability. Nathan2055talk - contribs 03:27, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. The news channel is having similar notability that Zee Punjabi is having because both are regional channel and very popular amoung regional channels.--Neerajmadhuria72014 (talk) 07:33, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I mean, I don't really think Zee Punjab Haryana Himachal passes WP:GNG either, at least in its current state. One source of dubious reliability is not generally considered enough to prove notability. It does look like there may be a few more possible sources due to some ongoing legal battles their parent company is under (see and ) but I don't really know if that's enough to show notability in general.

 * Till date Wikipedia does not have fixed criteria for media because even Wikipedia rely on these media houses and their news for any kind of references. These news channels because of such credibility passes notability test. Also these media houses are not promoting themselves on Wikipedia. Even Google and Facebook like platforms uses these news channels for promotion. They don't require Wikipedia for promotion. Also these news channels are registered and accredited media houses and contributing alot in Press.And I dont think legal battles prove notability? See you also relying on Hindustan Times for proving notability. Hope you are understanding what I mean?--Neerajmadhuria72014 (talk) 19:17, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete seems to be a WP:GNG and WP:NCORP failure, with must more emphasis being on the former. The issue is there is a lack of in-depth, significant (WP:SIGCOV) coverage that actually puts forward India News Haryana as having a claim to encyclopedic significance.--SamHolt6 (talk) 04:58, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Through DTH it can be viewed in Himachal, Haryana, J&K, Punjab, Chandigarh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neerajmadhuria72014 (talk • contribs) 08:51, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Soft Delete - Notability is minimal and article is non-neutral. Allow a neutral editor to write a neutral article.  The current editor has acknowledged being an employee of a PR firm that has represented other clients, so that a disclaimer of conflict of interest in this article is implausible.  Robert McClenon (talk) 07:01, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Itv Network (India), lacking significant sources required for a standalone article, issue of apparent WP:COI creation of article is also a concern, suggest that parent article can be further developed before any more of its channels are broken out.
