Speedy delete was deleted due to editor equating outdoor bazaars with a "buildings and structures". I had speedied it under the "organized event" portion of A7, which is pretty much what an outdoor bazaar is. No indication of notability. There is a single trivial mention on News, zip on Books and the other search engines. Onel5969 TT me 00:50, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete please as it's clear this is a bazaar market, like any other business, is exactly that, a business hence A7. There's absolutely nothing here for actual notability and substance. SwisterTwister talk 06:41, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, this states bazaar started in 1880s and this has a mention but these are not enough to warrant a stand-alone article, a line or two could always be added here. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:37, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article has nothing to offer apart from the fact that it is a Bazaar. Moreover this business is not notable for the lack of substancial references and citations. A google search doesnt reveal much about this place, apart from that it is just a small tourist attraction which is not very popular outside the locality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheLastMonk (talkcontribs) 06:19, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, the two existing refs are far from in-depth, and a Google search didn't bring up anything to indicate that this is a notable topic per WP:GNG. For what it's worth, both existing sources spell the name as Shanivari; although both searches bring up slightly different results, it's all still trivial coverage. Agree with Coolabahapple that this could be covered at Heritage Square (Surat, Gujarat) but there's nothing here currently to justify a formal merge.
