This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Punjab. 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:

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.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Punjab|~~~~}} 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 Punjab. 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 Asia.

Archived discussions (starting from September 2007) may be found at:

No evidence this Punjabi singer passes WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. The sources (in the article, or in my WP:BEFORE) are all primary source links to concerts or unbylined WP:NEWSORGINDIA promo stuff. Promotional page and draftification was contested with zero improvements so off to AfD it is. Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:41, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination from RfD; there was no consensus to keep it as a redirect, so it should either be kept as an article or deleted. Legoktm (talk) 04:35, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Changing my vote which I based only upon the references attached in the article, without a proper BEFORE. A web search reveals ample number of articles from multiple reliable sources. Although many of them are WP:ROUTINE, but looks enough for the article to pass through WP:GNG and WP:N parameters. BhikhariInformer (talk) 13:16, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is the same article that was redirected in September 2024. The article has virtually no prose and is a local cricket league in India, but has been written in the same style as a number of international leagues, with the same tables and images of stadia etc… This is clearly inappropriate – we could delete everything but the lead paragraph and add a sentence to say who the team that won the first two playings of it were and we’d have everything we’ll ever need to say about the league. We could do that, or we could redirect it to List of Twenty20 cricket competitions#India and add a note with the three potentially useful references. Or we could delete it. I’d probably favour deletion but could cope with re-establishing the redirect. I don’t mind either of those, but keeping in its current form is not appropriate Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:58, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
