Haukurth, in passing trivial coverage doesn't mean it passes the general notability guidelines, which requires in depth coverage.
Yeah, but there's no other Smith award to confuse it with. If I search for "WH Smith literary award" OR "W.H. Smith literary award" I get 293 hits. Here are 2 out of those 293:
DISMAY at the WHSmith Literary Award luncheon in Church House last week. After announcing that Melvyn Bragg's novel The Soldier's Return was this year's winner, Chief Executive Richard Handover went on to tell the guests that this was the last time the prize would be awarded. It would be replaced by a clutter of prizes for new authors, children's books and "lifestyle", which would be chosen at the final stage by WHSmith's 8 million customers. A sad end to an impressive award - but Arts Minister Alan Howarth tried to have it both ways. Handing the Pounds 10,000 prize to Bragg, he praised the judges for their decision, then went on to call them "gauleiters" and welcomed the new "popular" jury.
The Times, May 18, 2000
THE peculiarly elastic literary calendar has an odd habit of elongating years. Last year's prizes continue to spill nonchalantly into 1999. Today we have the shortlist of the WH Smith Literary Award -not as much money as Booker or Whitbread (a mere GBP 10,000) but a distinguished list of winners over the past 40 years, including Patrick White, Nadine Gordimer, Seamus Heaney and, of course, Ted Hughes. ... At least the WH Smith judges have had the wit not to shortlist that peculiarly pointless piece of disposable entertainment which did win the Booker, Ian McEwan's woefully lightweight Amsterdam. Why then this egregious omission of Ted Hughes, this dastardly insult to his last and most loved work? After extensive journalistic sleuthing (all right, a quick phone call), a simple explanation emerges: no-one is allowed to win the WH Smith Literary Award twice. (Not even once when they're alive and once when they're dead? No? Pity.) Let Beryl Bainbridge, the perennial bridesmaid, then win at last, and let her quote a past Booker winner: how late it was, how late.
The Scotsman, January 30, 1999
It was a reasonably prestigious prize which the papers took seriously enough to regularly report on. We may not be able to find long analytical articles about the prize as such but I think that would be an unreasonable expectation. Still, I'll see what we can do.

Keep There is plenty of coverage of the award and the winning books in digitised newspapers, as noted by
Haukurth above. We can certainly add references, and information such as the amount of the prize (£1,000 c. 1965-1971, £4000 by 1986, £10,000 at the end as noted above). The list of notable authors who have won it would surely have given some clue about its notability.

I can't see how this is encyclopedic. To quote the lede, " This article will discuss surface preparation for adhesive bonding to titanium."

Keep. This one of
several student articles created by students in an engineering course at Ohio State University. While we have pure science and math articles that go into the fine details of very technical topics, we are lacking in good coverage of applied science and engineering topics. Engineering may not be considered quite as "sexy" as pure science, but it is equally valid that Wikipedia be an engineering encyclopedia as well as a science encyclopedia. It is good to see that WikiEd is helping to close the gap.

Keep Narrow or niche topics are fine because it is our
policy that "there is no practical limit to the number of topics Wikipedia can cover or the total amount of content". The current state of the article is not important because it is also our
policy that "Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome." All we need to confirm is that the topic is notable and the sources provided indicate that it is.

Sure, I entirely get that and it's a fair/important question - but wouldn't a talk page discussion have been more appropriate; at least at first? Given he has played in the AFC Cup, Asia's Europa League equivalent, and the Charity Cup final, equiv. Community Shield, I'd say it's fair to assume he's played in the MNL numerous times; esp. as he's played for four clubs in five years. Added to the fact of the rather sizeable language barrier.

Where does it exist as a rule? I am aware that the notability criteria for biographies developed within certain sporting wikiprojects are deficient in that they conflict with broader

Those three AfD's don't represent a consensus which must be adhered to in future AfDs. In fact they seem to suffer from

WP:NSPORT, and not simply an end in themselves.----

Delete - Although it appears this article passes NFOOTBALL due to a handful of 2016 AFC Cup matches against clubs from fully-pro leagues, I struggle to justify an article about a person who has such insignificant online coverage (since I don't know how to evaluate potentially extant offline sources in Myanmar). Basically, we have
this which tells us his name and birthdate, plus a few databases (including the reliable Soccerway which cannot even determine if he has played in the local league for his club). With so little to go by, I don't think we can write enough for an article or be comfortable that the information is accurate.

Onel5969 said Her highest citation count is 290, but that was for a work in which she contributed a chapter (Applied Theatre). Without that, her highest citation count is 9.

Keep. As a side note, citations are usually a poor indicator of academic notability in the humanities, and one has to look at other factors. In this case I feel that most of the subject's notability comes from her theatrical work, and thus she should be primarily evaluated on
WP:GNG grounds. There are examples of in-depth detailed coverage of her personally and her theatrical work. E.g. pages 127-129 in this book
[4], p. 3 in this journal article
[5], an interview with her in this scholarly journal
[6]. The latter interview is conducted because the program she lauched, The Performance Making Diploma, won the 2015
The Guardian University Award for Student Diversity and Widening Participation. (I have added the relevant info, with refs to the article.) Overall, I think there is a reasonable case here for passing
WP:GNG, taking into account the other sources already in the article.

Semi-advertorialized article about a film festival, not
reliably sourced as clearing our notability standards for film festivals. As always, every film festival is not automatically entitled to have an article just because it exists, but must be shown to clear certain minimal standards of sourcing to satisfy
WP:GNG and/or
WP:ORGDEPTH for an article to become earned -- but the referencing here is entirely to the self-published content of either the film festival itself or organizations that were directly involved in staging it, not real reliable source coverage in real media independent of the film festival. And while the external links section does include one real media article amid its linkfarm of additional
primary sources, it takes more than just one article to get something like this over the bar -- but even when searching for other sources, all I've been able to find is event calendar listings and press releases rather than actual journalism about it.

Keep as creator - based on all the additional work I have put into the article I believe that demonstrates the game's notability. Spanish sources haven't been scrutinised as much within
WP:VG as other language sources so I don't think any of these third party sources shouldbe rejected due to not being on the Reliable Sources list. I think together the sources tell a pretty compelling narrative, one which can be bolstered by some contextual sources outlining the state of
Alcachofa Soft at the time and how its trajectory was affected by the title.--

Weak keep Meltzers ratings are well known in the wrestling world among fans, professionals and other journalists/historians. I'd say there is enough coverage on this topic for a stanalone list.

Keep Meltzer rating, as Treeker said, are well known in the wrestling world. Some databases, like cagemacth or profight, includes his ratings.

Delete Dave Meltzer is relevant for the wikipedia, and has his own page, but the information in this page is better served by specific fan sites (and already is, the main reference on the page is a link to a fan blog). I'm sure that many film producers are proud of getting high ratings for their movies, but that doesn't mean we need a page to itemise the top review of film reviewers. There's no "list of Roger Ebert two thumbs up" movies or similar lists for the hundreds of reviewers we have listed here, because it's the sort of material that's more relevant to fansites.

The big difference between the linked "best films" page is that the page (which itself is a little crufty), is a combination of many different reviewers and awards, whereas this page is the opinion of one reviewer. If we were to host a page of the best matches according to different wrestling reviewers, then that might be suitable here, but publishing an arbitrary list of matches one person liked is more suited to a wrestling wiki than here.

Delete Meltzer ratings are his personal opinions. Due to the nature of wrestling, its impossible to provide an objective ratings on matches. Subjective opinions are not Wikipedia worthy.

A five star match 20 years ago is not the same as a five star match today and there is no way to quantify the change in standards. — Preceding

That sort of brief mention of his highest rated matches on his wiki page seems more appropriate for Meltzer. Ducktech89(

Keep - Coverage in reliable secondary sources, including Sports Illustrated

[21], CBS Sports
[22]. As for the arguments provided above, there is no rule that prevents subjective opinions from appearing on Wikipedia--what is important is the coverage in reliable sources, which is demonstrated above. People's disagreements with his system also have no relevance in deletion discussions--the article meets WP:N. Changing or inconsistent rating scales don't matter--even if people write about their objections to the system, the fact that they discuss it is just more evidence of its notability. WP:CRUFT is an essay that the Wikiproject tosses out as an argument against all sorts of things, and it has no actual standing in policy or guidelines. Including the information isn't giving it Wikipedia's stamp of approval, as many people seem to fear--it's just following notability guidelines, which state that if multiple reliable secondary sources discuss it in some detail, it's valid for inclusion. That's clearly the case here.

Of course there is. There is an article from Sports Illustrated titled "The History of Star Ratings". I'm thinking the bigger problem is that you might not quite understand WP:N. If a topic gets substantial coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources, it is notable. If anything, your arguments against his rating system demonstrate even more of a need for this page--based on your arguments, it should be expanded to include a criticism section. This works against any merge proposals, as a stand-alone article is better suited to handle this topic (perhaps a section on "negative 5 star matches" should also be added).

I don't see the argument. 5 stars is considered as good as it gets. That's historically been the top rating. In recent years, he's said that some matches exceed even that and given them ratings that are off the scale. It's still out of 5 stars, though, so it's not an arbitrary cutoff point.

Keep - Dave Meltzer's 5-star matches lists are of greater importance to the professional wrestling community than casual people believe. Matches with a 5-star rating are generally listed in different wrestling web databases such as cagematch.com or profightdb.com, and these ratings are included in the profiles of the different pro wrestlers here in wikipedia being comparable to their titles or tournaments won. While some may consider these lists a personal opinion of Meltzer, therefore subjective and even inaccurate, the truth is that over the years he has always kept the attention on the wrestling fans and these qualifications are always mentioned and discussed on several websites. What I agree with is the fact that all Meltzer 5-star fights are duly referenced from reliable pages as data bases and not from fan websites as the page is currently. --

WP:NFF rules. The fact is: this film is allowed to remain in the mainspace because it passes

That is not how "consensus" works, and the number of citations alone does not make it notable.
WP:NFF only addresses what point an unreleased film should receive an article assuming the topic is notable to begin with. By your logic, any released movie with citations should have its own article on Wikipedia. Children of the Corn: Runaway received very little coverage outside of its announcement, release date & trailer, and horror sites. I'm still not convinced that there is even enough information out there to get the article to an acceptable length that justifies its own existence. It's also an entry in a franchise that has been going direct-to-video for decades, and even the first Children of the Corn isn't as famous as classics such as Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, or Hellraiser. DarkKnight214922:04, 27 August 2019 (UTC)reply
Comparing this film page to others is really quite sad. I am not convinced you understand
WP:NFF. Any and all films that can prove that filming, casting, and release was done, with many reliable citations, should be your number one priority, NOT whether or not this page is "like" other film pages. Your argument is very weak. We, at Wikipedia, keep film pages in the mainspace if they can validate filming, cast, and release. This film page has. You can't reasonably disagree with this simple fact. If a film page has proper citations that prove filming, cast, and release, than that page belongs on the mainspace. This is the most important Wikipedia rule upholded for film pages. I have upholded these Wikipedia laws time and time again on other film pages. Your argument is not sufficient enough to warrant deletion, plain and simple.

One of the articles I created is a GOOD ARTICLE, Kitbull, just like the previously mentioned Hellraiser film page. I don't even care about the Children of the Corn film franchise, but what I do care about is upholding Wikipedia rules and which page qualifies to stay on the mainspace. I am not your average wiki editor, I have learned, practiced, and understood the exact qualities of what a film page needs to stay on the mainspace. Your assessment and basis for deletion is inaccurate and weak. Any and all film pages that prove filming, casting, and release with reliable citations is automatically allowed onto the mainspace. In Wikipedia, this fact has and will always be upheld with EVERY film page, regardless of personal opinion of feeling. You can not prove this simple fact wrong, no matter what debate you give.

I did not "compare it to other film pages" in the way you are suggesting.

Other users are allowed to express their viewpoint in a deletion discussion without having to deal with subtle aggression, and I have years of experience and thousands of edits to my name. I didn't start editing yesterday, even if I haven't been as prolific lately as I used to be. As previously explained, if you think that every single movie that "validates filming, casting, and release" is automatically notable, then I'm afraid you have misinterpreted

This article is subject to problems with
WP:OR,
WP:RS,
WP:V, and
WP:FRINGE. This is, in essence, an article about an unverifiable religious text and historical and scientific problems in that text. As a religious text, it is subject to the principle of faith-based evidence. That, in and of itself, makes scientific verifiability virtually impossible. The article is, basically, a series of attacks by editors seeking to discredit historical and scientific claims by the religious text followed by believers seeking to substantiate the historical and scientific claims. The only "scholarly" literature on the topic is in faith-based publications (both pro and con). Since the religious text is not taken seriously by historians, there are no reliable sources that specifically address the issues of why it is not used as a serious source of historical information. Therefore the non-Mormon side of the issue consists of either original research or faith-based attacks. Sources on the Mormon side of the issue also consist entirely of either original research or faith-based defenses. None of the published sources on either side of the issue pass the reliable source tests of Wikipedia. If compared to other religious texts, there is, for example, no article on "Anachronisms in the Bible".

If this article needs to be deleted, the somewhat identical anachronism section needs to be deleted on the
Archaeology and the Book of Mormon page. If this article is to be deleted and the other section kept, than information that is on this page but is not on the other needs to be included there in the anachronism section of that article. I think it might make sense to eliminate the article but am neutral. I do think it would be useful to only have one article or section of an article on anachronisms as now it requires the maintenance of two essentially identical topics on two different articles.

Keep To insist that sourcing must be from "peer reviewed" sources has never been our standard. Those who publish in favor of the Book of Mormon are overwhelmingly much better educated than those who attack it, and trying to label people as "fringe" for a religious belief held by over 16 million people is over using the term. The attack on this article is basically an exercise in trying to exclude voices from Wikipedia that some editors disagree with.

I'm not sure what your point is other than to disparage authors on both sides of the issue. This isn't an "attack" on an article other than to point out that the article is not, by its nature, encyclopedic. The title itself is a veiled attack on Mormonism and is based on a subclass of anti-Mormon literature.
WP:FRINGE applies not because of the number of adherents, but because historians give zero credence to the historical claims of the Book of Mormon. It's fringe because the views are fringe within the world of scholarship. --

Keep None of which is any reason for deletion unless they're insurmountable problems which can't be fixed by editing.
I see no sourcing problem here (at least, not ones that can't easily be fixed thus). We would need our usual standards of sourcing for claims about the historicity of tapirs etc. As to the Book of Mormon itself, then that's easily available as a (presumably authentically transcribed) copy. A
WP:PRIMARY source. That's obviously a problem for WP generally, but A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. So we're fine to use the Book itself to state "The Book of Mormon describes horses", we need an everyday RS to say "There were no horses in America in that geological timeframe" and we need the slightly more esoteric secondary commentary upon this to say "Mormon may have been referring to deer or tapirs instead", which we do indeed have here.
Any specific problems (which could certainly exist) should be listed at Talk: and means found to resolve each one separately. There's no overall issue requiring deletion.

Delete. It is well sourced that e.g. the book writes about steel. Amazing! How could Joseph Smith in 1827 know about steel? Anachronisms would need to be about things more recent than the earliest evidence of the book, i.e. after 1827-ish. I don't see anything like that in the article, which means the useful anachronism content is exactly zero at the moment. What Smith claims about the book's age doesn't create anachronisms. If I write a book next year and claim the book would be from 10,000 years ago then no one will be surprised that the book talks about mobile phones, and no one would write a Wikipedia article about it. --

The anachronisms here are not as you describe, an anachronism between the text of the Book and Joseph Smith's time period of 1827. There's no claim that he's talking about mobile phones.
The anachronisms are those between Smith in 1827 (where steel was known) and the bronze-age period supposedly being described. As a critique of Mormonism (implying it's a fabrication by Smith) this is seen as a serious flaw: the sort of flaw one might expect in such a fabrication. A similar thing happens in the King James Bible (2 Samuel 22:35
[24]) where references to steel (rather than bronze) were introduced by 17th century translators. One would not expect the Angel Moroni to make such a gaffe.

The problem with the "logical impossibilities" ignores the simple fact that they are only a problem if the BOM is actually what it purports to be--a book from ancient America. But if it's just another work of fiction then there is no more need for this article than "logical impossibilities" in Lord of the Rings. Thus, the very existence of this article implies that Wikipedia is giving voice to a religious belief. Since no serious historian accepts this as a historical account, then it's
WP:FRINGE to treat it in any way as if it were a serious historical account. --

But just because you have a belief (which, by definition, means that you don't require any proof or evidence to think it's true) doesn't mean that Wikipedia has to endorse that belief system when it violates the nearly universal opinion of the scholarly community of historians, archeologists, linguists, etc. Wikipedia endorses that view by allowing a pseudo-debate in its pages between pseudo-reliable sources (written, peer-reviewed, funded, and published solely by believers) and people of the opposite belief view who aren't scholars because scholars don't waste their time telling us that the moon isn't made of green cheese just because some community believes that it is. --
Taivo (

The other fallacy that has been stated here over and over is that "we just follow all the policies and this article will be 'fixed'". That's false. It assumes that the BOM is an actual document from ancient America and serious scholarly discussion is needed (and exists) to clarify the problems. It assumes there there are an equal number of peer-reviewed scholarly works on both sides of the discussion and that the discussion is scholarly. That is a false assumption. Historians ignore the BOM as a historical text with "anachronisms" because they universally treat it as a work of fiction from the imagination of Joseph Smith. Therefore, just as no scholar of lunar geology ever has to write "the moon is not made of green cheese" in a peer-reviewed text, no historian of ancient American history ever has to actually write, "the narrative of the Book of Mormon is fiction". Thus, trying to "fix" this article by adhering to Wikipedia's policies leaves an article that is overloaded with Mormon "scholarship" from pseudo-academic sources that receive peer-review only from other Mormon scholars. It gives the appearance of legitimate scholarship that is overwhelmingly weighted on the side of Mormon beliefs and not on the actual state of affairs in the scholarship of history. --

But when we have a "disproofs" article for something that is almost universally ignored without having to say that it's being ignored, then there ends up being no scholarly sources that actually say, "I'm ignoring this because its fiction/fake science/etc." In this case, that means that there are pseudo-scholarly sources, written by believers, peer-reviewed by believers, and published in works that are funded and edited by other believers, that appear to outweigh the actual nearly-universal scholarly view on the subject just because no scholar outside the belief system finds it necessary to say "I'm ignoring this because it's fiction". --

WP should be reluctant to "endorse" any particular viewpoint. The latest from WMF now seems to imply we have to give weight to the anti-vaxx viewpoint as well, which is probably time to wind up the whole project. We certainly shouldn't endorse any particular belief system, but nor should we claim that such a belief system is objectively wrong.
If a particular set of beliefs is based on canon texts which contain objective logical flaws or anachronisms, such as these, then it is legitimate for WP to produce an article such as this which describes them: the basis for why it's an anchronism should be given, any refutation or explanation of such (which is likely to be PRIMARY or SELFPUB) should be given too, making it clear that that's a subjective viewpoint. The effect all that then has on your belief system is up to the reader.

Keep and fix, or failing that, merge into one of the related articles. The claim that all the "scholarly" sources are either from faith-based publications or OR/SYNTH seems to be based on the assumption that the article is a proof or disproof of the Book of Mormon as an historical text. The article is not (supposed to be) about that, it is about claims in the Book of Mormon that are (considered to be) anachronistic. WP doesn't shy away from discussing current thought within religions, or current criticism of religious texts. Saying "the Book of Mormon mentions elephants, this paper says there were no elephants, critics/apologists say this/that" is entirely within the scope of the article and (in my view) within the scope of WP. The problems arise if the article either says or implies "therefore the Book of Mormon is true/false" - that kind of wording should be removed.

Keep. Many of the posts above, argue whether the Book of Mormon is to be viewed as historically accurate. That is a separate question. This article lists a number of points, with varying kinds of documentation, that are anachronisms or have some logical flaw. The fact that sources are not peer-reviewed is not a Wikipedia standard for most articles (though it may be more logical on an article such as Vaccination). This article will offend many, cause some to dismiss it, but it is still a valid article. I do not intend to Watch or edit it, but it should be kept.

Merging article A into article B means A is not notable, not that B is notable. An average attendance of 246 indicates even locally it wasn't very notable. I don't see evidence that "the article already passes
WP:GNG with the articles referenced." Here's my take on the sources given:
1) article is about a local who coached the Cruisers for 14 games before being demoted and quitting and is now at a division 3 school. Doesn't make the Cruisers or Gold notable.
2) Quotes by non-MSL GMs about playing MSL teams. Passing mention at best.
3) Article about BYU soccer team and their loss to the Gold. Routine sports coverage.
4) Local coverage of a Utah team beating the Gold. Routine sports coverage.
5) List of attendance for lower level U.S. soccer teams. Passing mention.
All of the coverage is independent and there's more out there. This was a professional soccer team which performed in the country's top cup competition and was clearly covered by media. The fact Stanislaus County was merged into the article just means you have to do more of a before search than normal. Also, the attendance thing is a red herring - in their best year, 1999, the team averaged over 2,000.

The sources we have will only support an article of the kind we have now: a sheer recitation of their statistics... in such-a-such a year, they had such-and-such a record, and in this game on this date, so-and-so scored this many goals. The article is a statistics table in prose form, and that's because the only sources we have are statistics tables and game reports. An encyclopedia entry about a team should answer some more substantive questions like: who owned them? What changes did they have in management and coaching? How did they manage their roster? What strategies and tactics did they employ? What formations did they favor? How did they compare with other teams in their league over the years? Who were their rivalries? Where did they recruit? What was their scouting operation like? Why did they change their name and drop down a league in 2002? We don't have the answers to these questions. There's no significant information we are presenting in this article that isn't already presented in the season-by-season articles at USL PDL–that's the best place to present the historical statistics for this team; it'll be presented in the context of the season. If someone finds some good GNG sources in the future, the redirect can be expanded back into an article. –

Page views are irrelevant to notability. As I've shown, there's lots of coverage from the Modesto Bee over a long period of time that would answer all of the questions you're asking, but I don't know how to access those articles since they're behind a paywall. I thought the "why did they drop down a league" question had been answered in the article already, but I just added it to make it clearer, there is significant information in this article that's not already in the league seasons article, and even if there wasn't, the club still easily passes
WP:GNG, and having the information organised under the club's name still helps the few people actually looking for this article.

Comment I've finally gone ahead and applied to a couple newspaper archival resources with the Wikipedia library card in an attempt to save this article from deletion, since I know (and have demonstrated) there are paywalled sources which definitively show notability. May be a few days before I have access, though.

Doesn't meet the notability standards for actors or martial artists and I don't think the coverage is enough to meet the GNG. Her acting career was over by the age of 13 and she was never played the lead.

Probably delete -- It would be easier to judge this if there was an article on his church, for which the article claims a membership of 15000 at the HQ church. It depends on how much else there is of this church and thus whether it is a significant denomination. If it is, its founding bishop might be notable. However for the moment all I can say is that its notability is unproved.

There is nothing to indicate this award is notable. I found no significant independent coverage. The only sources are either from the organization giving it or recipients of the award and neither are independent. Fails the GNG.

Please see the history for evidence of POV and possible COI editing; the dozen Amazon spam links are evidence enough. Subject is a run of the mill pastor, and nothing here proves he passes the GNG.

Delete -- There is nothing in the article to show that the church is more than a run-of-the-mill one. We cannot allow an article on a pastor who has done nothing but found a church, when there is no evidence that the church is also notable.

Could you try and expand the article a bit with more sources and citations? It would be useful for me because I plan to add it into fr.wiki next week. I'm sure you can make it.

Non-notable fictional character. The three "Top X" lists are completely trivial filler articles, and I'm not even sure if "Topless Robot" is important enough to count as a reliable source.

Subject fails
WP:NHOCKEY. Highest league played was the ECHL which only grants notability for preeminent honours to but the subject has none, so ge fails #3. Also has no preeminent honours in college to pass #4 as well.

External links added I have noticed significant coverage of the content of this publication in recent weeks. To this end, I have added external sources to this article which show wider coverage and interest in the book, such as conventions and external events relating to its content; I hope that this helps

Delete - promotional material about a book that has not been published - the references are promotions for an unpublished book - the article creator has made few edits outside of John Walsh and Harryhausen - the John Walsh article has been up for deletion and there is a note on the John Walsh article that "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject" (same article creatory) so there may be
WP:COI and sockpuppet issues here - maybe after the book has been published and has multiple significant reviews or writeups in reliable sources the article can be recreated - (
WP:NFILM says we shouldn't have articles about unmade films, but this is a book about unmade films, so not sure if that guideline applies) -

Weak Keep perhaps the best argument for deletion of this article would be
WP:ONEEVENT, but looking through the content and sources there seems to be enough here for
WP:GNG. Also there is no rational put forward by the nominator, so it is hard to know what they are arguing against.

Keep. Company received a substantial amount of funding (namely 9 million USD) and
Sequoia Capital played a role. It got bonafide press articles too from sources such as
Business Standard,
The Economic Times,
The Financial Express (India).
[29][30][31][32] On top of it, it serves a market that can be tapped and it keeps people from from being gauged by the credit card companies. Furthermore, about 20% of India is still unbanked so their app will be very helpful to these people too. So the company is doing a lot of social good and worthwhile things via the service they are rendering to their customers. As far as awards, in October 2017 Moneytap as selected in the 20 Global Startups for The India Fintech Awards Demo Day by India Fintech Forum. India is still a developing country, but it has a lot of potential. And if it economically rises, it would lift a tremendous amount of people out of poverty. The Chinese lifted a tremendous amount of people out of poverty and India will probably be the next country to do so.And India is a democracy too unlike China. It would be tremendous thing to see India's economy grow fast and it would great if Wikipedia played a role in this matter and did not hamper it with being picayune about featuring its innovate companies that are getting press. I haven't look at the editors past edits, but I think this is a distraction as the articles has reliable sources and the company appears to have a lot of growth potential.

@
Knox490: The
Business Standard ref ([
this) is coming from a syndicated press release as mentioned at the bottom of article. A google search on the title of the press release gives a lot of same results, which is possibly a scenario of bulk press release. Also their website (
here) mentions all about their press releases, which shows all the places the same press release has been published. The
Economic Times ref(
this) is a raised capital article, which doesn't support
WP:ORGDEPTH as it is a trivial coverage. As for other refs, I couldn't find anything but I doubt their legitimacy too because outreaching to these newspaper for certain amount is definitely possible, and the bulk press release history supports this claim. Again, keep in mind that the author was blocked for sockpuppetry as I mentioned in the rationale. Regarding being selected in top 20 Global startup doesn't qualify to be notable. There's nothing to be sentimental about the country here. If the topic doesn't qualify to be notable, it should not exist yet.

Delete Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages not a platform for promotion. I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability, topic fails GNG and
