The Vox Kashmir

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG. The external links are broken. The references either show 'page not found' or do not have direct mention of "The Vox Kashmir". The FB page is inactive, again not meeting WP:GNG in any way.

(I thought this was a WP:HOAX for a moment going through the YouTube channel and an empty wordpress website with the same name.) DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 09:25, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NORG and WP:NWEB. WP:PROMO article created by a WP:SPA. Absolute lack of coverage in reliable media that talks about the subject in detail. minor citations is all I could find, and that does not prove the notability in any way. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  19:07, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Once notable, always notable. I found archived versions of the two references and added them to the article. I also added an archived version of the website itself. I think that the references are now enough to establish notability. This is a good example of the importance of the Internet Archive and other online archives of vanished websites.

 * Eastmain, Thanks for rescuing the refs, but even these 2 sources fail to provide notability. both these articles are discussing multiple new websites run by young people are coming up and only give a short trivial coverage. WP:ORGCRITE demans significant coverage that is much more than this.
 * Quote by Tehelka- "A plethora of online magazines like The Vox Kashmir, The Kashmir Walla, The Parallel Post, Kashmir Currents and Kashmir Dispatch, run by youngsters, including students and young professionals, are catering to the new age, tech-savvy population with news and views on and about Kashmir."
 * Quote by Kashmir life- "Kashmir Currents, The Vox Kashmir, The Kashmir Walla, The Parallel Post and other websites owned by Kashmiri youth came into existence after the recent unrest from 2008-2010"- -- D Big X ray ᗙ  05:23, 30 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment: Please note, there is currently an AFC draft submission called Draft:Media in Jammu and Kashmir. IF this submission is accepted, then Vox Kashmir can be merged into it. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 16:29, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Reviewed the references rescued by Eastmain and there is still no notability here per WP:GNG which needs multiple reliable secondary sources that cover it in detail as WP:SIGCOV. Tehelka source does not contribute towards notability since it is based on what Qadri Inzaman and Haziq Qadri, the owners of The Vox Kashmir, have said. So that is a WP:PRIMARY. Meanwhile, Kashmir Life source is a passing mention of the subject, consists of 1 sentence, and a quote from Sheikh Saaliq, who ran the website at the moment.
