Sankalpa

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A dictionary word without significant coverage in general media. Only has passing mentions and fails WP:GNG. Fails WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Given sources are online dictionaries or books on special topics. The sources used only provide passing mentions. The first line sourced to a Sanskrit dictionary, from the second para the article gets into poorly sourced gibberish like "It is a great delusion, a mental and physical sickness,", sourced to a "song book".

 * Comment. I came to this article following another nomination from this nominator with a very similar theme. Can the nominator talk through the WP:BEFORE checks that were done before flagging this article for deletion? This to me is a lazy nomination where there is a vague reference to General media. What does that mean? You are less likely to see content on this topic in The Guardian or The Washington post, but, books specific to the topic should be examined. Also, if the nominator perceives some text as Gibberish, they should feel empowered to WP:BOLD and fix the encyclopaedia. Not a lazy nomination for an AfD. Ktin (talk) 21:44, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Please talk about the subject of the AfD and not the nominator. WP:BEFORE was done and no source was found to justify a Wikipedia article. Your own searches seem to have ended up in similar manner, hence the comment on AfD nominator. The criteria of WP:GNG is not met when this word could only gather passing mentions. The article has been nominated on AfD as the topic lacks notability, and not necessarily because the article contains gibberish junk and WP:OR Venkat TL (talk) 07:12, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Without an analysis being done on the sources that have been referenced this is a sham of an AfD nomination. The nominator is better served by analyzing some of the offline sources being referenced, lacking which I would recommend that this AfD be speedily closed. Ktin (talk) 16:38, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * You should read WP:IDONTLIKETHENOMINATOR Venkat TL (talk) 17:07, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I strongly recommend the nominator to withdraw this above comment which seems to be made in violation of WP:AGF. Ktin (talk) 18:25, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It contains WP:MEDRS violating claims like "the body and the mind becomes charged with special waves that make a person self-confident, resolute and motivated."Venkat TL (talk) 07:26, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Entirely nonencyclopedic in its current state; patched together from sources that are not necessarily discussing the same subject. I imagine an article could be written here, but given the issues with inappropriate synthesis, this would require starting from scratch in any case. Vanamonde (Talk) 02:14, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
