Kashmir Sports Watch

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This magazine appear to fail at WP:NWEB as well as WP:GNG. No substantial coverage in reliable source can be traced. Tone is promotional too. Hitro talk 09:01, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete. WP:G11. --Hiwilms (talk) 13:32, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi there, Actually at first when I created this page, I knew almost nothing about Wikipedia guidelines and had put in wrong references for the page: Kashmir Sports Watch. However, later after learning the basics, I edited the piece and placed the proper, reliable sources in the article. The magazine is registered under Newspapers Registrar for India (NRI), whose reference I have added to the piece alongside few other valuable sources. Since, it's the only sports magazine existing in Kashmir at now, I being a sports fanatic read it quite often. So, having a page of it on Wikipedia makes sense, for sure. If someone from senior editors can now take a look at this page and let me know what's lacking in it and how can it be removed from under deletion articles.

 * Delete or redirect per WP:N, WP:PROMO. The problem is that the content of Wikipedia pages have to be verifiable in independent reliable secondary sources, and there needs to be enough analysis in those sources that we can actually write an article. If it's a major regional publication, then it has some significance, but if we can't write anything other than "it exists, and is based here", then it doesn't really merit a standalone article with our current content policy. However, if it is significant to the region, it may be due weight to mention it on the article for the place, in a "Media" section which you can create, in which case the article can be redirected there.
