Keep There was one delete vote (in addition to nom) for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prakash Sardar. I disagree with the notion that shortest person in x country is inherently not notable 1 2. Either way, the subject of this AfD passes GNG. The article should stay.— Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 19:45, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of that AfD was, nevertheless, Delete. So why wasn't it deleted? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 03:09, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The AfD was for Prakash Sardar, and Prakash Sardar was deleted per consensus. — Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 10:35, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If you look at the sources they do not actually state she is the shortest woman in Nepal, they say she might be. 2 short mentions are just not enough to justify an article, and being the shortest person in country x is not a sign of notability. We are not the guiness book of world records.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:58, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care what she is (shortest or not); I care that there have been articles written about her in RS/IS. To be clear, there are 10 references now, ranging from Jan 2018 all the way to 2020 - all are articles focused on her, not passing mentions. — Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 20:22, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Are you saying things in the Guinness Book are not notable? — Ad Meliora ^Talk∕_Contribs 10:37, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

LOL!. I created both the articles. One was deleted based on a single vote and another seems to tending towards a keep . Of course, I want to Keep it because it passes WP:GNG which the deleted article of Prakash Sardar also did. Chinese references was surprising to me..great!!. But anyway, Wiki is a weird place! because there is no concrete rules for deletion, and policy is like politics- can be bent in either way. nirmal (talk) 11:58, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
