This is just a WP:COATRACK list of companies that happened to have offices in Andhra Pradesh, e.g. IBM or HSBC. There are no sources discussing the general topic of the software industry in Andhra Pradesh. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:53, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It's a specific requirement of millions of young graduates in Andhra Pradesh, they will know the status of software industry in the state while they are applies for jobs. Applus2021 (talk) 11:18, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's not the purpose of Wikipedia to help them in their job search. There are other websites for that. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:43, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: As per What Wikipedia is not. Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 13:58, 20 April 2021 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppet.--Goldsztajn (talk) 06:10, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Then please nominate to delete the wiki pages like Software industry in Chennai, Software industry in Karnataka and Software industry in Telangana? Applus2021 (talk) 16:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Wikipedia is not LinkedIn...and frankly, those other pages should go to, and I would also support their nomination for deletion. Nate • (chatter) 20:29, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Take a decision Based on the overall consensus. Applus2021 (talk) 10:58, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Article has 9 sources at the time of nomination by Headbomb - [1]. Now the article has 25 WP:RELIABLE sources to meet WP:GNG with 0 deadlinks as per #IABot (v2.0.8) analysis [2], further improvement is in progress, check similar debate [3] Applus2021 (talk) 12:06, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are sources yes, but none that discuss the subject as a topic in a significant way. A mention that there are people/business working in software in Andhra Pradesh is not significant coverage. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:58, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Majority sources are recent and all sources passes WP:RELIABLE to meet WP:GNG. Moreover topic is important to the Andhra Pradesh, India and major sources are government related works. Applus2021 (talk) 01:15, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep - Andhra Pradesh and neighboring Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have very large IT industries, and this article looks like it passes GNG and would serve its intended audience pretty well. This is not an attempt at turning Wikipedia into LinkedIn or WP:SYNTH. Atlanticatticus (talk) 21:33, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Condense and merge to Economy of Andhra Pradesh. Not a topic of notable independent significance, but a noteworthy aspect of the overall economy of the state. BD2412 T 01:00, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merging would indeed be good. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment India has high density population cities, majorly working under software service sector or back end IT/ITeS support services. In my opinion city wise and state wise articles are required instead of single article with inadequate information. see Software companies of the United States by state [4], see Software industry in Chennai, Software industry in Karnataka, Software industry in Telangana and Software industry in Maharashtra etc Applus2021 (talk) 01:23, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Havent noticed at refs any article that discusses the subject. Cinadon36 05:25, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into Economy of Andhra Pradesh per BD2412. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:56, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Economy of Andhra Pradesh more or less per analysis by BD2412. Not independently notable as the topic itself lacks SIGCOV by IS/RS, but it is noteworthy and can have a section at the target article. Regards, 31.41.45.190 (talk) 23:17, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
