Reviewed as new article patrol. This is about a classification term for irrigation projects in India. Only one secondary source given and IMO insufficient to establish wp:notability for this as a separate topic. This article consists of two sentences which I added to the Irrigation in India article so no material or references would be lost.

 * Caveated keep/delete - If Minor irrigation project is deleted, then perhaps Major irrigation project should also be deleted. As such, both are referred to in Irrigation in India.


 * Dealing solely with the merits of whether this article meets WP:NOTABILITY (which is the only cause for proposed deletion claimed by the proposer), it appears that the article should be presumed to be notable because it appears to meet WP:GNG in that there is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". I will note here that as per WP:ARTN, notability is measured with respect to the subject, not the article. It appears the subject meets WP:GNG because of the following coverage which is either extensive in the body content or is about the subject matter:
 * Article in peer-reviewed Water Resources MAnagement
 * Article in peer-reviewed Agricultural Water Management
 * Article in peer-reviewed Irrigation and Drainage
 * The Irrigation Sector (Book)
 * Water Productivity in Agriculture: Limits and Opportunities for Improvement (Book)
 * Tanks in Eastern India: A Study in Exploration (Book)
 * Irrigation and Drainage Engineering (Book)

 * Redirect to Irrigation in India as it does not currently contain any information not on that page. No prejudice to recreation if expansion is done at the same time. buidhe 19:15, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
