Replacing existing PROD - I want a discussion rather than a PROD - I don't think this is notable and I would like the "weight" of AFD to apply. If I am wrong, then of course it should stay. This AFD will be a combined discussion with an MFD for, a rejected WP:AFC submission which had substantially the same content before I turned it into a redirect (last non-redirect revision). I have opened a "procedural" MFD, linked above. That MFD just points back here for the combined discussion. As nominator, I say "delete both" to deter re-creation of future drafts. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  13:54, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete, possibly speedily as there's not even a credible assertion of notability here. The organization, only a few months old, has done enough to be mentioned in a couple of news items, but not nearly enough to have any references about them.  Article apparently created by members of the organization.  --Finngall talk  16:10, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete multiple chances were given for editors to find articles that cover the organization in detail, but the only references provided were routine news coverage where the organization is only mentioned as a byline. There have been multiple efforts to push this into mainspace or submitted, along with the related article about its founder. The main complaint pushed by the organization was that various schools either postponed or cancelled their final exams because of the Covid pandemic, so this could technically be covered in COVID-19_pandemic_in_India It's also not the only organization that protested, but probably the most prominent one in the Pune University area.

 * This reference for example has a little bit more coverage on the organization, but it's posted by the WP:RSP-unreliable Times of India:  AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:50, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Also recommend Salt on mainspace spot. AngusW🐶🐶F  ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:58, 11 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete and Salt - The history shows that the draft was submitted 6 times, and declined 5 times and then rejected, by 4 reviewers, before being moved into article space anyway. I concur with the reviewers who declined and rejected it, and think that the move to article spae was tendentious.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:13, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is a content forum, but there are conduct issues involved. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:13, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * DRAFT IS NO LONGER PART OF THIS DISCUSSION I will be procedurally closing the Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Maharashtra Students Welfare Association as "withdrawn" based on strong objections to "coupling" of these two discussions. Depending on the outcome of this, I may re-open that one. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  16:37, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
