No third-party sources were found. Sohom (talk) 20:47, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have given enough References to validate the source.
Like ADA in USA, AODA in Canada, there are accessibility laws in every country and lately India comes with GIGW. Though I didn't rate myself as an expert in Wikipedia but I am expert in the subject matter.
I can help improve the quality if this the reason of deletion but this article is absolutely necessary in Wikipedia. Shivaji Mitra (talk) 11:20, 8 November 2023 (UTC) 49.37.39.142 (talk) 06:42, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Shivaji Mitra (I assume that is your correct account) I will point out that neithier ADA or AODA have articles of their own. Also, we need third party sources to support each individual article, if there are not third party sources, it will be deleted. Regards Sohom (talk) 17:49, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure what exactly you mean by 3rd party, do check W3C Accessibility for India Page: https://www.w3.org/WAI/policies/india/
Laws are mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_accessibility
ADA = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Act_of_1990
AODA = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility_for_Ontarians_with_Disabilities_Act,_2005
Philippines = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_accessibility_initiatives_in_the_Philippines
UK = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_Act_2010
etc..
3rd Party references are given. Shivaji Mitra (talk) 17:59, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The W3CAI source is a good start, but you need atleast 3
third-party (i.e. not affliated with the Indian government) sources that discuss this guideline in depth. Notice how, for example the american law article has literal columns of references to other people, education institutions, supreme court cases, newspapers and such talking about the Disability guidelines. To show that GIGW is eligible for a article, you will need to show that these guidelines have been talked about in depth in India (or even outside India).

Added 12 Authentic "Sources" to support the article. Shivaji Mitra (talk) 05:35, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Shivaji Mitra Those look like really good sources. I will look at them over this week and withdraw my nom if they fullfill the notability, which I think they will. I would just suggest using the sources as part of the page instead of as a list at the end. -- Sohom (talk) 15:16, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 The ADA and AODA are enshrined laws in their respective jurisdictions, and the article title and content should reflect requirements specifically based on accessibility rather than voluntary guidelines which seem to be focused on corporate and design needs first (nobody outside standards orgs cares about quality focus or lifecycle management), rather than the user.

  • Merge summary into Web_accessibility#India. Owen× ☎ 00:08, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'm happy to support a Merge/Redirect as well, on reviewing the sources I do see a lot of mentions (which is a good start) but not a lot of significant coverage of specifically these guidelines. Sohom (talk) 12:54, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per above. Vanamonde (Talk) 00:01, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
