Speedy deletion declined: Prabalsagar

Hello Jethwarp. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Prabalsagar, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The news reports mentioning the subject are enough to pass the low bar of A7. If you still wish to pursue deletion, consider WP:AFD. Thank you. — Mr. Stradivarius 12:50, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

A note

I should mention that I also created Hindu Temple Society of North America and Jai Jagdish Hare. I don't work for JAINA. Thank you.Malaiya (talk)

Dear Malaiya, I think u are taking AfD too personal, this I can say from your comments The claim by Jethwarp "G11: Unambiguous advertising" "it seems it has been created for self-advertisement" is really offensive. on Adf page, which is not a place to vent off your feelings. By the way I never also commented on you or where you work. In fact even article was not created by you, so why are you so much upset?

Please note that I work on Netural POV and have nothing against any religion. In fact half of my friends are Jains. I have also created Jain articles like, Jagdu Shah, Bhadreswar, Kutch, Kothara, etc. The article JAINA - awards section was self-boasting and non-encyclopaedic and did not adhere to Wiki-policy. I have noted it has been deleted. Genereally, when an article is notified for AfD - it gives ample time to the creator and contributors to modify the article to suit Wiki guidelines so that it remains in Misplaced Pages. Same for Prabalsagar - it was created as an Biogarphy, which should not have been the case. It is all a part of learning process. Regards.Jethwarp (talk) 06:27, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I am very sad to see you asking for deletion of a Misplaced Pages page of a prestigious, highly active and influential organizations in USA. Everything in the article is correct and well supported by newpaper reports. Its conventions draws thousands of Jain, of all sects, from all regions, from USA, UK, India, Kenya and several other countries. Individuals like Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and Swami Ramdev feel honored to have been invited by JAINA (http://www.dnaindia.com/world/report_5000-attend-jain-convention-in-new-jersey_1108855). 65 organizations, including all the Jain temples in USA and Canada are members of JAINA. Hundreds of volunteers, including professors, doctors, businessmen volunteer their services for JAINA. JAINA has represented the Jains in White House, US Congress, Senate etc, and has organized prayes there. The article includes links to a number of news reports, that you chose to not look at.

I think wikipedia editors interested in Indian culture should be appreciative and supportive of each other. I think you should withdraw your call for deletion. Choice is yours.

In view of your discussions above, I have withdrawn by Afd for JAINA. regards.Jethwarp (talk) 04:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Rani Suhanadi

I noticed your redirection of this page to a section of a different article; while I understand your rationale, I am of the opinion that the material is worth keeping in an independent article. Having reviewed several sources, she really does receive significant coverage - the fact that her affair with Chach permitted the latter to become king is essential to the events portrayed in the Chach Nama. There are reliable sources that work for the article, and the fact that the user is blocked is not relevant to this particular circumstance. The contribution was constructive and written prior to his block (several years prior to his current block). Thanks, dci | TALK 04:53, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi!! DCI. I have incorporated the details in Rai Dynasty#End of the Rai Dynasty as I feel the article does not pass WP:BIO or WP:GNG guideline to have an article on itself. However, I am also of the opinion that she was instrumental in having Chach ascend the throne, therefore, created a redirect where info about her is mentioned. This info was added by me before creating a redirect. Thanks for understanding this rationale. I also felt this is unnecessary fork of (see WP:CFORK) main article so after careful consideration redirected the material. Same is case with Siharus article it is two line stub, details of which are already mentioned in Rai_Dynasty#Chronology_of_Rai_rulers_of_Sindh. This article is also unnecessary fork of Rai Dynasty and I found out was created by same person who created Rani Suhanadi. As of now it seems per discussions at AfD is likely to be redirected or merged in to Rai Dynasty article. Jethwarp (talk) 06:23, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

I doubt it's a fork of Rai Dynasty when the section it was redirected to has no content. If the section is expanded (which I would be glad to work on), then a redirect would be OK, but only in the case that Rani Suhanadi's role is explained in detail. Also, which AfD discussions are you referring to? dci | TALK 16:47, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

• Also, if you're interested, you might want to check out User:DCI2026/Chach Nama table given your knowledge of the subject. Your help would be greatly appreciated, if you're interested. dci | TALK 18:11, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Wow!! It seems you are working a lot on Chachnamaa related articles. I would be happy to see you expanding the contents on Rani Suhanadi's role. If I come upon any new info on any of these articles, I shall certainly let you know on your talk page or expand the article with citations. Jethwarp (talk) 03:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. You probably have a better understanding of sources than I do, so your insights will be greatly valued. dci | TALK 12:49, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thanks much for the sources you listed at my talk page. I'm hoping to finish Muhammad bin Qasim today! dci | TALK 16:14, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Gujarat Arts & Science College

Hello, Jethwarp, and thank you for your contributions!

An article you worked on Gujarat Arts & Science College, appears to be directly copied from http://gasc.gujarat.gov.in/index.html. Please take a minute to make sure that the text is freely licensed and properly attributed as a reference, otherwise the article may be deleted.

It's entirely possible that this bot made a mistake, so please feel free to remove this notice and the tag it placed on Gujarat Arts & Science College if necessary.Template:Z120 MadmanBot (talk) 05:18, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

I have deleted the article as it was a copyright violation. Just because you link to the source in the references does not mean you can copy the content. You can take information from there, but you must not copy it. You can recreate the article but if it is another copyright violation it will be deleted again. James086 17:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

You cannot copy text directly from the sources, that is violating their copyright. It does not matter if you use the source of the text as a reference, you still cannot copy the text. At the bottom of this page it says:
"Copyright © July 2012 Gujarat Arts and Science College, Ellis Bridge, Ahmedabad. | All Rights Reserved"
The content of the "History" section of the article was directly copied from that webpage, therefore it is a copyright violation and must be deleted. Please read the copyright policy of Misplaced Pages, in particular the second paragraph which explains that copying text is a copyright violation. That is why the article has been deleted twice. James086 06:20, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Every website is copyrighted, unless it says otherwise. I have userfied it here and I think I removed all of the violating content (although if there is more that you copied, please remove it too). Once you feel it's ready you can move it to the article space (the "Move" button is up near the "View history" button at the top of the page). The college certainly seems notable and worthy of an article, it's just that Misplaced Pages has very strict copyright policies. Thanks, James086 06:58, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I will find reliable sources available on-line move it to article space, when I am finished, as advised by you. Jethwarp (talk) 07:05, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Categorising honours

Please note that if someone received an honour and was then promoted within the same order we only categorise the higher (or highest) grade reached within that order. Thanks. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:50, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanx for the informing me about above rule. I will keep it in mind. Jethwarp (talk) 15:08, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Nanji Bapa ni Nondh pothi

I noticed that you edited the citation to Nanji Bapa ni Nondh pothi in the Khedoi article. I could not find this work listed in the catalogue at Vikram Sarabhai Library, nor in the National Library of India catalogue. Do you know the title in Gujarati script? Can you suggest a library where it might be found? You may reply here. Thanks. --Bejnar (talk) 21:17, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Is નાનજી બાપાની નોંધપોથી the correct title? --Bejnar (talk) 21:22, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

નાનજી બાપાની નોંધપોથી is the correct title. I have one copy which I had bought it about 9-10 years ago from Vadodara, where it was being sold in a seminar. However, I am not aware if the book is still in print or not.

On the last page there are reviews about the book and the details it has been awarded Kutch Shakti Award at a function in Mumbai for year 2000 for best researched book throwing light on history of Kutch. May be some details could be found on Kutch Shakti Award website??
