This page has been mentioned by multiple media organizations:

Pete Hunt (September 22, 2024). "Will Indian Courts Tame Wikipedia?". The Diplomat. Retrieved September 22, 2024. "I would personally hate to see Wikipedia get banned in India," an editor at an India-related noticeboard said.
Apoorva Mandhani (October 30, 2024). "In ANI vs Wikimedia, Round 1 goes to India's tech law. The US firm has taken a beating twice". ThePrint. Retrieved October 30, 2024. "I would personally hate to see Wikipedia get banned in India," an editor at an India-related noticeboard wrote. These noticeboards are public administrative pages where editors can discuss issues related to Wikipedia articles.
Vineet Bhalla (November 5, 2024). "A Delhi High Court case could end up threatening how Wikipedia works in India". Scroll.in. Retrieved November 5, 2024. Indeed, this is what is indicated by public discussions on Wikipedia noticeboards – public forums where editors of the encylopedia discuss issues related to content, policy and site maintenance. "I can't imagine they would reveal any names," wrote one user. "That would set a terrible precedent."

This page is a noticeboard for things particularly relevant to Wikipedians working on articles on India.

Proposed deletion of Lajpat Bhawan

The article Lajpat Bhawan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved for over 15 years. No reliable sources online Google; literally news article. Run of the mill auditorium used for weddings.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Request for feedback on Draft:Narinder Lamba

Hi everyone — I’ve drafted an article on Draft:Narinder Lamba, a pioneering Indian urban planner who worked closely with Le Corbusier on Chandigarh and served as Chief Town Planner of Punjab. The article is well-sourced (government publications, ITPI, Ministry of Tourism) and follows Wikipedia tone and structure. Would appreciate any feedback or help in getting it reviewed in AfC. Thanks so much! Wikieditorkitt (talk) 21:51, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
