[edit] Bhartiyavidya

The AfD discussion runs five days. Do you have verification of the notability of this independent of the source? Also, please put new AfD comments at the bottom of page so I don't have to keep moving them and sign your posts, like this: ~~~~ Grandmasterka 06:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll try; keeping the article hinges on finding independent sources that prove it is notable (preferably in English, although we could get a few Indian editors to look at Hindi sources if they are found.) Grandmasterka 04:46, 21 July 2006 (UTC)


2 references independent of source

1.http://www.mayocollege.com/ProjectITMain.asp A case studey from Mayo College...one of the top schools in India

2.http://www.apeejay.edu/sheikhsarai/infra.htm am including them in my article. --Vandanaahuja 05:29, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the problem is what does the user have to do to save the article from deletion. The sources are well planned out; the problem is assertation of importance. As it is, the article looks like Original Research with no real importance. Try rewriting the article following the Manual of Style, and it may pass nicely. Teke 05:49, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes...i need help in retaining the article...have 5 days to redo it from what i had posted yesterday...have included some references which are frm independent sources and changed the article a bit...will redo it again wrt the manual of style..maybe you could go through it in a while and let me know... --Vandanaahuja 06:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, what I'd probably suggest you do is open an article on a similar educational system and compare pages. The article you wrote sounds more like promotion, like an ad trying to get people to like it. It does not sound neutral. The thing you probably should keep in mind is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia ... they're repositories of knowledge, and as such we can't be biased towards a subject when writing about it. We have to remain cold and factual in our articles.
Pretend there's someone out there who doesn't like the subject of your article and EVERYTHING you write that he disagrees with he's going to vandalize and ruin. What do you do? You only put cold, hard, true facts on the page. You prove your assertations by citing solid references that the other guy can't refute. You write for your enemy. Again, see WP:NPOV.
If you can make it sound neutral, sound factual, and sound like other articles on Wikipedia, you may well be able to save your article. If you can't, it will likely be deleted. You may wish to check out related articles that others have edited, contacting them, and seeing if they can assist you in making the article more encyclopedic in tone.
We have other people we're helping also, so we can't just stop that and write your article for you, I'm afraid, but if you make major changes that correct your article, please bring them to the attention in the AfD that it's currently in. You may be able to save it. ~Kylu (u|t) 07:02, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
