Vishwa Marathi Sahitya Sammelan

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable future event. I could not find any reliable sources, in english. Sources may exist in other languages, such as Hindi, but I can't read them. Millbrooky (talk) 14:47, 27 October 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete - After this happens, if it turns out to be an event that generates lasting notability, fine, but not now.  AK Radecki Speaketh  14:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Yep, delete--very poorly written, and perhaps as a result its notability is highly questionable. Its futurity, however, is reason enough for deletion. Drmies (talk) 02:38, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete- WP:CRYSTAL, WP:ADVERT. I read the only source provided. It simply appears to be a social gathering with no notable institutions involved. LeaveSleaves talk 04:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect- Particularly in light of this reference and the fact that Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Mahamandal, a noted society in relation with Marathi literature, is involved. The page, however is still a mess, and reads like a brochure. Should be redirected to Marathi Sahitya Sammelan, until the event is held and further significance of the event is available.

 * Comment – Redirect this article Marathi Sahitya Sammelan. And merge all salvageable content there. I have heard about this organisation some years back. It is notable, and reliable sources exist. You would find mention in the Times of India Just for the information: The language is Marathi, not Hindi, and Marathi does not have too much sources available online. Vishwa means "global". In other words, the organization is trying to set up international branches outside the state of Maharashtra, rather outside India. Also from what I recall, people here were not very happy with setting up an awards ceremony in San Francisco by the group as they felt the best place would be in India where the languages exist. For now, the notability of the international branches are not clearly established, but we can redirect it to the parent organization instead. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  18:15, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a prominent event in Marathi community. Reliable sources are IndianExpress, Sakal - most sold marathi newspaper , maayboli.com -- GP Pande  talk!  18:33, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Gppande, what's the scope of the current article? It's currently the Bay Area, but other than the US, are they having meetings elsewhere in the future? At present I feel there is not much information for a separate article. PS, the Sakaal link is a 404. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  18:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep: More RS: Mid-day (English) (removed sattire link that talks about the Vishwa Marathi samelan) --Redtigerxyz (talk) 14:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Note- The article from Maharashtra Times quoted here is a satire and not a news item. LeaveSleaves talk 16:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I was wondering about that too. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  18:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Let me explain the event, Marathi Sahitya Samelan has been organizing events for Marathi Language/people for years which is called Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Sahitya Samelan (means All India Marathi Literature event). This is first time they are going abroad and holding a function for Marathi people across the globe. Many people across the USA are going to attend in person and many in other countries are going to attend online via web. So I would change my vote to Merge with Marathi Sahitya Sammelan with separate section for this. -- GP Pande  talk!  15:42, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect, do not merge - remove the unsourced information and the promotional writing and there would be nothing left. This is a classic case of violating WP:CRYSTAL and writing an article without citing any support by (and in) reliable sources (and if there are indeed such reliable sources, they need to be placed in the article itself and not in this discussion to have maximum weight). If a sourcing consists of a single external link, it is not a good sign of Wikipedia worthiness. B.Wind (talk) 04:48, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
