Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to West Bengal. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|West Bengal|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to West Bengal. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to India.

I declined a G5 as an IP had some copyediting, but that might be a sock of the original banned editor, and I don't know enough about Indian companies to determine if the organisation is notable or not. So here's a discussion. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:05, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contested redirect. Zero in-depth coverage of this battle. In fact, very little beyond the short blurb in the current single source. Fails

WP:GNG. Could restore the redirect as an ATD. Onel5969 TT me 19:19, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply

The cited tertiary source devotes two sentences to the battle; many of the details in the current wikipedia article are not even verified by that source. Searching for other sources finds either dated sources (eg Majumdar (1958) (p. 242); Haig (1937) (p. 368)) with perfunctory coverage (and fwiw inconsistent details) or non-RS self-published works with a sentence or two. By the way, my argument and !vote also applies to
BLARing is challenged. Abecedare (talk) 20:20, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply

Second Battle of Midnapur (1746)

Second Battle of Midnapur (1746) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

reason-

Is this even a battle? Mir Jafar won a decisive battle against Mir Habib. That's all I found for this conflict. No coverage as previously deemed by redirects [1]. Moreover the article was created by a sock who had a history of creating messy articles. Shakakarta (talk) 15:51, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, History, Military, Asia, Bangladesh, India, Bihar, and West Bengal. Shakakarta (talk) 15:51, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete little or no significance for an article. Hionsa (talk) 17:40, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: as the main section "battle" part of this article is very short so the necessary parts can be easily merged within any article related to this subject. And notably this article is also created by a sock as well. Imwin567 (talk) 18:21, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: "Battle too short" or "messy, messy, messy", could be sort of weak arguments for deletion. However, notability is an issue. Other than Wikipedia, I found a supposed official source on (Medinipur) that is confusing. It begins, "...conflicting accounts of how the name Medinipur came to be". This apparently includes the spelling. This article uses the spelling "Midnapur". The source uses the spelling "Medinipur", "Midnapore district" and Midnapore (apparently an alternate spelling), using that later a few times. At first, I assumed the author was either mispelling or confused as the opening sentence uses "Second Battle of 'Midnapore'". On that note: How many "Second Battles of "whatever place" was there to include the year in the title? More confusion and no links or mention of the "first battle". Without some etymology source, this article just advances confusion. The article jumps from the "Background" section to the "Battle" section but has some missing links. Conclusion: The article is messy beyond repair, the battle section is too short to impart any actual knowledge, and notability is an issue because of the lack of sources (two sources on the article may or may not be relevant), so there is nothing to salvage or merge. -- Otr500 (talk) 18:20, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with the analysis and conclusion. RangersRus (talk) 21:11, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The name and spelling of the location not matching. Poor sources with no significant coverage about this "second" battle that lacks Notability. RangersRus (talk) 21:10, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Burdwan

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Other than the single short blurb in the source in the article, I cannot find any other in-depth information about this battle. Many mentions, most of which are mirrors of this Wiki article, but nothing in-depth. Contested redirect. Fails

WP:BEFORE check has failed. An alternative to deletion could be merging with Manipal Hospitals. TC-BT-1C-SI (talk) 12:55, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply
