Kolkata Violence

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unreferenced, Original research and commentary. The current text sounds entirely like a blog/op-ed piece. The author/creator of the page removed my prod notice, so I'm putting it up for AFD here. --Ragib (talk) 00:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Ragib (talk) 00:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as WP:OR, WP:POV, and (possibly) WP:HOAX. No mention of this in our Kolkata article. — BradV 00:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've tagged the article for speedy deletion. I don't think we need to let the AfD run its course. — BradV 03:25, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Procedural note: I have declined the speedy deletion.  Neither OR nor POV nor Unreferenced are valid speedy delete criteria.  AfD is the correct venue for this.  - Philippe  03:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete doesnt look like an article or the incident as notable, possibly a hoax , ifatall it survives then this is not the way to be left , it looks like a press news than an article .--@ the $un$hine . (talk) 19:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as personal essay. ~ priyanath talk 21:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Well guys, I authored this article , and I admit is is basewd entirely on Original Research. Well , I live in the city of Kolkata in India , and I have seen first hand what the degraded status of Muslims in that city is. Thank you and PLEASE do not delete the atricle - I'm building on it , tracing the sources etc. I'm new to Wiki.

 * And I have just edited my article as well. I have made some major changes which I'm sure would enable it to qualfy for Wikipedia Standards.
