Sare Jahan Se Achcha (pencil sketch)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to fail WP:GNG and works as a coat rack. The high number of relevant people pictured, dies not necessarily make the sketch notable The Banner talk 20:56, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep or Redirect to proper page. But seeing the amount of information the article has, Keep is more desirable in my opinion. -- Abhijeet Safai (talk) 14:01, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Notability can't be inherited from the people mentioned in the drawing. And remember: it is only appreciated when the sources about the drawing are in English, it is not mandatory. Sources in other languages and scripts are also okay. The Banner talk 14:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - I have improved the article for some typos and grammar. Thanks. --Abhijeet Safai (talk) 14:03, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - The article is been created by me and apart from that as also feel that it is notable. I have added quite a good information with sources. Thanks -- Coolgama (talk) 16:44, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - Sources a bit difficult due to language barrier but there seems to be attention paid. BTW other pencil sketches make the claim to being the world's largest so that probably should be deleted or given qualifier and source, or removed. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:22, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - Dear Green Cardamom, Thanks for bringing the issue to notice. I have removed the claim unless proper referee, which is awaited.


 * Merge and redirect to Pramod Kamble as the artist as lacking in depth coverage in independent sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:35, 19 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - Art in India suffers from a greater lack of coverage than the West due to far greater preoccupation with livelihood, lower levels of income, lower levels of literacy, and education in India. Typically, any significant Indian work of art also draws much less media refs/google links than one created in the West. Hence the same yardstick may not be suitable else art in India will not be able to make it to Wikipedia because of this biased yardstick. AshLin (talk) 12:39, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
