International History and Heritage Exhibition

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable event. While the museum that hosts this event (Sabarna Sangrahashala) is notable, the event itself is not. The majority of sources for this article are about the museum, but do not mention this event. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:11, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Not a notable event. This article is advertising pretending to be informative. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 03:12, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, greetings to all. I am an independent research scholar and teacher who have written this article on the annual international history and heritage exhibition that is held in kolkata every year to create awareness about history and heritage of the land. The exhibition has now become an important event and being a free exhibition thousands of students from various schools and colleges apart from foreigners and common history enthusiasts come to gain knowledge. My writing is not publicity of the exhibition but making people aware of such a great benevolent initiative on the part of the sabarna museum, which again is a charitable trust. Money is nowhere related. There is no ticket, nothing only knowledge about our origin, our culture. Governments of Bhutan and Sri Lanka have appreciated the initiative. Also the Dy. Consular General of Bhutan have inaugurated the exhibition in 2015 proving its importance. If anyone wish I may send scanned copies of the letters from these governments, which are on display at the gallery. The seminars, cultural events and quiz are simply great. I can assure everyone that such a museum and the exhibition occurs nowhere in the world and for this reason most of us fail to realize the exhibition's importance. May be my writing on wikipedia is not of the standard, hence i shaLL humbly request the hon'ble editors to rewrite this article with your skill of writing according to wikipedia's guidelines and with the info i have provided and make it available on wikipedia for the benefit of students and people. I have found some more reference and have added them on the article. Please find them. I may also send scanned copies of several newspaper reports of the exhibition if you need them. My wish is that let people know about this extraordinary exhibition of Kolkata. Who writes the article is not the matter. Please let the article remain. Some editor please do Write it according to the guidelines. Thanks. Devrc (talk) 07:33, 25 October 2016 (UTC)Sucharita 25.10.2016


 * Delete-Nothing convinces me at all that it passes the WP:NOTABILITY factor. Aru@baska ❯❯❯  Vanguard 08:42, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Devrc notes-"My writing is not publicity of the exhibition but making people aware of such a great benevolent initiative on the part of the sabarna museum, which again is a charitable trust. Money is nowhere related."The request for deletion is not at all based on such criterion.Even if it charges exorbitant amounts for entry etc. but has been relayed by several independent, mainstream and strong reliable sources as notable,it shall be in WIKIPEDIA!

 * Devrc has also commented--"Governments of Bhutan and Sri Lanka have appreciated the initiative. Also the Dy. Consular General of Bhutan have inaugurated the exhibition in 2015 proving its importance. "In this era of publicity, if one has good links with the bureaucracy, and one's purpose is not dubious,it's not a matter of great pain to churn out such a certificate of appreciation.Further, today we find in WEST BENGAL, everything from pujas to new shopping malls, is inaugurated by a flurry of persons ranging from the Consulate-generals,Chief-Minister and Governor to local counselors and celebs. But we cannot vie for the inclusion of all such articles!. Aru@baska ❯❯❯  Vanguard 08:42, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Regarding the inclusion of newspaper reports in the article as citations by Devrc and his reply, here, that he-"may also send scanned copies of several newspaper reports of the exhibition if you need them.", many prominent newspapers in their local sections publish details about art exhibitions,film screenings etc. in the city, but, if we start listing them at WIKIPEDIA, it becomes a perfect synonym for MESS.

 * Devrc further commented-"I can assure everyone that such a museum and the exhibition occurs nowhere in the world and for this reason most of us fail to realize the exhibition's importance."I am regretful but this looks like a blatant exaggeration.....

Nomoskar, I feel that truly when all the editors are feeling that this article must not be included in wikipedia, I accept their opinion and then should i myself delete the info or it can be made that the page is redirected to the original sabarna sangrahashala page? Kindly guide me. Devrc (talk) 09:51, 25 October 2016 (UTC) Sucharita 25.10.2016
 * Let the AFD discussion run its course. The result may well be to keep the article, or to redirect it to the article about the museum, or to delete the article. The various editors who take the time to contribute to this discussion will decide. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 10:46, 25 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge to Sabarna Sangrahashala which already has a section on this (or plain redirect to that). Peterkingiron (talk) 18:02, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
