Rochak Inter-College Fest

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nonnotable local inter-school competition. None of the cited sources are independent (they're the organization's Facebook page, etc). No indication of how this event satisfies our notability criteria, WP:N. NawlinWiki (talk) 23:11, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Don't Delete per nomination. -- Anonymousbananas (talk) The sources include various newsletters of the participating schools. the official school newsletters. There 2 social media references. No personal agenda here, but the event is significant since its centered around our National Language. I agree the article may look incomplete and nonnotable, but that primarily because i may not have all the required details; which is the essence of Wikipedia, to let articles grow based on community contributions. Its possible that the weight of a national-language based event may seem negligible to you, but you need to consider that English, the language of the USA, is now more predominant in India and this event helps keep the spirit of Hindi alive. I believe, a gun is being jumped here. Lets just let the community decide. — Preceding undated comment added 09:52, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, since the article has shown no indication yet of notability. On searching, it does not seem to be covered in external reliable sources either. Soni (talk) (Previously TheOriginalSoni) 10:33, 21 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - There was additional canvassing by one editor trying to save the article on the following mailing lists - wikimedia-in-amd, wikimedia-in-wb, wikimedia-in-newsletter, wikimedia-in-mlr, wikimedia-in-hyd, wikimedia-in-del, wikimedia-in-chn, wikimedia-in-blr. Not sure if linking to mailing lists is permissible here, so I'd refrain from also adding the additional link to the mail in question.

 * Delete - Anonymousbananas (talk) 12:16, 21 April 2015 (UTC) ON reconsideration, please delete this article since the presence of the Hindi language is arked by bigger events and things than just this event. Sorry for the inconvenience.


 * Delete Hindi is one of the official languages of India and not the national language of India. . Also see this citation for more info Hindi. The event looks like a regional event for Hindi Divas celebration. The language alone can't be a reason to keep this article. Omshivaprakash (talk) 13:26, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
