Scroll.in[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I found one reliable source which doesn't have in depth coverage. The award "RedInk journalism" doesn't have an article in Wikipedia. Currently this Indian website is failing WP:WEBCRIT as it is not mentioned in other Indian news sources. Marvellous Spider-Man 13:00, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: There is passing coverage of this firm's funding, a start-up award, and their role in Quartz's service in India (Mint, 2014 – via HighBeam (subscription required) ), but I am not seeing the independent discussion of the firm itself needed for WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:WEB or WP:GNG.

Keep. Scroll.in is a top-1,000 site in India, and a top-10,000 site in the world. Scroll.in journalist Malini Subramaniam recently won the Committee to Protect Journalists' 2016 Press Freedom Award for her Scroll.in coverage of the Maoist insurgency in India's Red Corridor. There are plenty of other sources discussing Scroll.in that could be used to expand the article:

- Note too that articles and interviews published in Scroll are regularly linked, mentioned or quoted in national and international media. Examples (all from the past month):
- Honourable mentions in scholarly books: [1][2] Taken together, that means it's a notable news website. The fact the the RedInk journalism award, which the site won in 2015, doesn't have an article in Wikipedia probably says more about Wikipedia than it does about the award: it's a well-known national award, the only one of its kind in India, and its results are reported in Indian national dailies [3][4]. --Andreas JN 466 14:12, 15 May 2017 (UTC)— Note to closing admin: Jayen466 (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.

Here is a more concise summary of my keep vote above – Scroll.in meets WP:WEBCRIT criterion 2 because it has won two well-known and independent awards, both reported in national Indian newspapers:
1. RedInk award. Sources: [5][6][7]
2. The CPJ International Press Freedom Award. Sources: [8][9][10] --Andreas JN 466 19:59, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not meet WP:CORPDEPTH or WP:WEB, and sourcing is clearly not enough to pass WP:GNG. Of the awards listed above, one is not notable, and the other was not won by the organization, and even if it was, not sure it alone would indicate notability.
