An article about a festival at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. Despite the article's grandiose claims, there don't appear to be any sources at all, while the linked official website suggests there haven't been any new instalments after the second festival in 2009. Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, which has a rather lengthy section on its festivals, doesn't mention it either. I prodded the article with this rationale, but Kvng objected, suggesting instead a merge to Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati#Annual festivals. But I don't see any content worth merging, and we can't set out to write new content because of the aforementioned absence of sources. Redirecting without merging (a lazy alternative to deletion) also won't work as "Alfaaz" can refer to various entities mentioned here and there in the encyclopedia, and readers looking for them are best served by the search results. – Uanfala (talk) 23:05, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Redirect~~ - I have added a trimmed blurb to Indian_Institute_of_Technology_Guwahati#Annual_festivals. I reject the argument that everything added to the encyclopedia needs immaculate sourcing. ~Kvng (talk) 14:29, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- And I've reverted you addition. Noteworthiness is a lower bar than notability but there's a threshold there nevertheless. I don't see how an obscure student festival that apparently only ran in 2008 and 2009 is worth mentioning in an article about the university. – Uanfala (talk) 14:41, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  Also, that article used to have a mention of Alfaaz (along with several other festivals not otherwise covered in the text), but it was removed in 2014 [1]. – Uanfala (talk) 14:51, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Nothing to redirect to now that Uanfala has reverted, with good reason (previous removal), my proposed redirect target. ~Kvng (talk) 16:58, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : No sources and no notability to have a stand alone page definitely. I don't feel it should be even redirected. It might have made sense to include about it in the university page but if it has been removed in past already, doesn't make sense to repeat that.

Delete the Article because it is not notable itself and has not supported by secondary sources.Forest90 (talk) 17:39, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
