Comment there's enough coverage to have an article on either Govindraj Ethiraj or this website, I'm not convinced there's enough for both. I'm leaning towards merge/redirect this page to Govindraj Ethiraj. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:30, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep It is hard data driven journalistic and factual website and notable, i.e. a hybrid newspaper. It has been established by a think tank, similar to the The conversation in the uk, in the fact that it uses open source data. Citations are bit flakey, but these can be improved, as the company is all over the shop. The article aslo good, as it is not full of puff or advertising. Excellent wee artice. Well worth keeping. scope_creep (talk) 12:13, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm.....I quite appreciate your arguments but regrettably, that's a part of a list of invalid AfD arguments.~ Winged Blades^Godric 14:41, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete-Per IP-editor's analysis.Half of the sources practice churnalism and NORG duly screens them out.... ~ Winged Blades^Godric 14:41, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yip seem to be worse than I thought. I thought only two were bad, based on the URL's. I will see if there is enough for notability. scope_creep (talk) 14:59, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I cant find a single opening citation that will validate it, much like the The Daily Telegraph article. There is a vast amount of articles written by it, since 2011, when it was created after an anti-corruption scandal in India, and it is referenced everywhere. scope_creep (talk) 20:43, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
