MUSHTAQ PAHALGAMI

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A local activist. An article is deliberately overloaded with references. Those I looked into, do not even mention him. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:43, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete Hi all, I had created this page (Mushtaq Pahalgami) in 2014 and it had gradually built it over the years. I was trying to merge it with another page that belongs to the organization that this person represents (Himalayan Welfare Organization, Pahalgam). This article got deleted by mistake and I have thus created this new page with the same name and content. There are certain refernces that appeared in more than 1 sources on the same day, hence the repetition, would be very grateful if the community could kindly approve for publishing. Thanks and Regards, Samar Samar khurshid (talk) 17:36, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the article is filled with crappy reference spam, and presents no clear case of notability. The page title is also mis-capitalized. Power~enwiki (talk) 23:55, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (continuing my argument ..) The references I have used have been well accepted by the wider Wikipedia community since 2014 and most clearly mention the activist's name Mushtaq Ahmad Magrey/Mushtaq Pahalgami. Kindly point out the references that do not. Also, the page was accidentally requested for deletion by me, a single author/contributor, and I have requested that it be restored. I have made that appeal to Wikipedia and I make that appeal here on this forum too. References that are repetitious in fact only highlight how wide even the local protests/interventions/action-programs of this person are covered in the media, hence arguing in favour of notablity. Samar khurshid (talk) 10:06, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The following references clearly establish that the subject Mushtaq Pahlgami is a prominent local activist, who has receives state awards for his social contribution and as can be seen, the news has been carried by a very large number of significant local news papers/news networks.

Delete and salt. User Samar khurshid (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is a single-purpose account whose sole interest in editing Wikipedia is to promote one person and an organization that person founded. His first edition was deleted on August 6, 2014 as per the conclusion of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mushtaq Pahalgami; he then re-created it a few weeks later on August 30, 2014. Nearly three years later, after he blanked it and tagged it for deletion a few days ago, I deleted it per WP:CSD G7 as sole-author request. He re-created it again a few hours later with this all-caps title and left a message on my talk page complaining that I had put it up for deletion (which I had not). As Arthistorian wrote above, it is "deliberately overloaded with references" while the ones checked "do not even mention" the article's subject, and as Power~enwiki also noted, it's "filled with crappy reference spam, and presents no clear case of notability." Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. – Athaenara ✉ 06:41, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:*Dear Athenara, with all due regard, I did not complain that you put the article up for deletion, I said, with all due respect that you acted on my request to delete the article, for which you may please refer to your talk page again. The fact that I do not edit other articles on Wikipedia does not make the page/subject Mushtaq Pahalgami 'promotional' or 'non-notable'. The claims in the article are supported by references from more than 25 different sources and presents a clear case of all three; NPOV, verifiablity and notability.

I am a working professional with little time to get involved with too many pages, but as somebody from the region from which the subject comes, I feel compelled to bring to public record and notice, the enormous efforts at Environmental Conservation, made by the subject and his organization. I must state again that the subject Mushtaq Pahalgami, is a very well recognized activist, whose social and political endeavors have been widely covered by not just local Urdu and English newspapers and news channels but also by respected national portals like Millennium post and Down to earth.

Please see, the following news paper, journal and television links for the subject's notability.

(Also see the complete list of 111 references cited above which fully meets the core Wikipedia policy values of NPOV, Verifiablity and notability..and let me know exactly which one do you think doesn't mention the subject Mushtaq Pahalgami/Mushtaq Ahmad/Mushtaq Ahmad Magrey)

The argument besides notability, is that the page got deleted after having run for three full years, accidentally when I put up a request for deletion by mistake. I was trying to merge and transfer some content between the deleted page and a related organizational page. The mistake is mine and the subject must not be dealt the punishment of deletion for that! Further, The content and referencing of the page had been acceptable to the wider Wikipedia community for 3 full years, during which the subject's wider social credibility came to be associated with the wiki-page, whose deletion is bound to have serious financial implications for the subject's organization and it's credibility.

It is in this light and spirit that I have humbly and most earnestly urged the Wikipedia central admin and the wider editorial community to either re-consider the deletion of the old page or allow the new page on the subject to be published.

The fact that Pahalgam in Kashmir, form where the subject comes is a far flung area, with very little political representation and access to civic amenities and education, makes it all the more incumbent upon all of us to allow whatever little efforts are being made, to be brought into public notice, for wider appreciation and encouragement. I thus appeal to the collective wisdom and conscience of the Wiki-community to both, stand by the rules of notability and purpose as enshrined in Wikipedia's rules/guiding principles but to also allow a fair and impartial hearing to this case, keeping in mind the right to access to information and representation through information-dissemination .. of every individual citizen and subject in every part of the world, particularly so of those who come from under-developed and backward areas. I would rest my case by saying that rules are meant to make things simpler, not complicated, and as Martin Luther king Junior would have it, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere' .. and if the 5 people arguing here fail to do justice to the cause and subject concerned here today, it shall be a collective failure on our parts to the cause of justice in general, and to Wikipedia's wider commitment to impartiality and truth. Most humbly, Samar

Delete and salt - no improvement since the last deletion at AfD. long list of references dont support notability. Editor is a SPA. Flat Out (talk) 02:43, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The assertion is factually incorrect as after the deletion in 2014, due to a lack of supporting references/notability issues, the page was subsequently re-created with a substantial and acceptable list of references on the 11th of July, 2014 and was published and running till 9th of July, 2017, when it got accidentally deleted by the creating editor, that is me. It is in this context that I have re-created the page now and urge and appeal to everybody to re-consider the deletion or allow restoration of the page accidentally deleted by me on the 9th. For notability, please see just these 5 news paper, journal and television links for the subject's social significance and eminence ( besides the complete list of 111 references cited above and let me know exactly which one do you think doesn't mention the subject Mushtaq Pahalgami/Mushtaq Ahmad/Mushtaq Ahmad Magrey).

All of which fully meet the core Wikipedia policy values of NPOV, Verifiablity and notability..

Samar khurshid (talk) 06:03, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I very strongly feel that the fact that the page was fully functional for 3 years and got deleted accidentally by the creator is not being paid attention to in the debate. This is not a case of routine creation/deletion and thus merits and exception. Also, since the page has represented the Subject Mushtaq Pahalgami for as good as 3 years now, a period for which it was considered perfectly notable and acceptable to the wider Wiki-community, deletion on grounds of notability is not fair. Deleting/non-restoring it now will not only cause him undue and unfair loss of social credibility but will also incur him and his organization financial losses that those involved in the decision, shall be responsible for, a matter which we may then be compelled to pursue with Wikipedia's alternative dispute resolution channels.

I have also attached a complete list of 111 references supporting the subject's notability, a list which is not only 'long' as claimed above, but also very varied, including links where the subject was covered by reputed National and International journals and portals. Unfortunately, the list is also not being paid due attention to, only making our case of unfair argument, stronger.

Please see, just these 5 news paper, journal and television links for the subject's notability, verifiablity of the subject and NPOV (reporting from varied sources) before you decide (and let me know exactly which one do you think doesn't mention the subject Mushtaq Pahalgami/Mushtaq Ahmad/Mushtaq Ahmad Magrey).
