Nirmukta

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )
 * Promotional page that was created about 1.5 years ago has still no relevance. Many of the citations don't work and others have only cited its name once, never described. Fails notability for organizations. Bladesmulti (talk) 10:01, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete: As a non-commercial organisation it doesn’t appear to meet WP:ORGDEPTH nor WP:GNG. The article makes claims about the organisation's role in India’s first “hug an athiest day” in June 2013, which has been a type of event spread via social media. The broken reference 11 is here and it was also picked up by the The Huffington Post here. There are 11 secondary sources referenced which do confirm its existence but do not establish notability. To me the most important of these is reference 4 as it is a newspaper article that describes 21 meetings being held to by a local group that the article says are part of the Nirmukta network. The brief mentions in references 2, 5 and 10 are relating to people who have had a link to the Nirmukta network, rather than the organisation itself having done something notable. Reference 6 is an article on atheism in India, and appears just to lift some content from the Nirmukta website. The article in reference 1 is here, essentially raising awareness in advance of an event in 2011, which may explain the involvement of this online community of interest. Ref 9 is actually from Dec 2011, reporting after the same event occurred. Reference 3 explains the name, but I don't think it is relating to the organisation itself. The links for references 7, 8 and 11 are broken. Drchriswilliams (talk) 15:21, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: Seems like a well-established organization that enjoys some international recognition. Among regular authors are well known names in Indian skepticism and atheism. I've fix the source that were broken and added some new information to it. Kind regards, Timelezz (talk) 12:56, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Not even an organization, just a online network with no notability. Hajme (talk) 13:11, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete as an subject that has only received passing mentions independent of itself. I do admit I may be biased as this is an article about with an atheistic subject. --Mr. Guye (talk) 22:33, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
