Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Odisha Budget

Hi,

Wikipedia is a great tool which I use to get references/knowledge/information. shouldn't budgets of states beyond a certain threshold qualify to be a part of wiki? Especially when budgets for countries are listed on wiki.

But if you guys, with your experience, don't see the relevance, that's fine. Do you know any other organized public websites that have a clear presentation of data and can host topics like this?

And I do appreciate all the hardwork you guys do to keep wiki clean and useful.

 * Wikipedia has an inclusion criteria called the WP:NOTABILITY. Any subject that meets this criteria (including budgets of states) may be included into Wikipedia, and any subject that does not meet that criteria (including budgets of states) should be removed from Wikipedia. The notability is proved by citing reliable secondary sources. Some people are notable, some are not. Some companies are notable, some are not. Some budgets are notable, some are not notable. There is no inherited notability. Nothing is notable per se, if there are no reliable secondary sources to prove the notability. You wrote an article about a subject that sis not cite any reliable secondary sources, so the article was deleted. I really don't know about other sites, but you may look for some of them here: List of wikis. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:51, 2 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the detailed explanation. Looking at the notability criteria, it does look like the topic might qualify for inclusion as a separate article. Two print newspapers with national circulation (and online), all 8 or so regional newspapers (both print and online), at least 5 independent online news and blogs, and multiple references across yahoo, rediff.

But at this point, it is better if I create the article within the main wikipage for the state. and if it grows too big, we can then discuss about other options. thanks again for your guidance and good luck.
