Website is down for a long period now. So the page seems to be promotion of something which is no more around, contradictory to WP:PROMOTION, than some kind of encyclopedia. Bladesmulti (talk) 05:21, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep This obviously meets our criteria for notability which is why the last 2 AfDs failed. I simply do not understand why this was nominated for deletion. The fact that it doesn't exist anymore has nothing to do with the issue of notability. There are some good sources that can be used to expand the article, I've mentioned 2 on the talk page and added text from one of them (by a Reader at a London University who has 4 pages of it in his book Hindu Nationalism in India and the Politics of Fear.

Still, it's promotion of something that doesn't exists, and not even historical. Bladesmulti (talk) 14:46, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question I remember this being discussed before—after all, the article came up today in my watch list, so I must have seen it —but I'm not finding deletion discussions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dalitstan.org (2nd nomination) and, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dalitstan.org. Wikipedia obviously isn't finding them either, since the list-of-discussions box to the right lists only this discussion. Where are they, so that I can review them? —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:51, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found them. I think what happened was the page got moved from Dalitstan to Dalitstan.org, so while the article got renamed, none of the deletion discussions changed their names. I have redirected the deletion links above so they'd turn blue and appear in the box. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 15:04, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:09, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Bladesmulti, what do you mean when you say the article is "promotion" of the website? Most of the content in it appears to be critical of the website. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:54, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep Yep, it was well established that this website met notability criteria, and it isn't promotional. There has been no change since then that would occasion a further round of consideration. Even if the website is gone, WP:Notability is not temporary. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:11, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment : Anyways, 2 opinions are enough for now. I take this nomination back, admin Dougweller can close if possible. Bladesmulti (talk) 06:28, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
