Proposed deletion of Dr S.Srikanta Sastri

The article Dr S.Srikanta Sastri has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

Requires significant coverage in independent reliable sources.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. -- Wikipedical (talk) 07:37, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited T. V. Venkatachala Sastry, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Telugu (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dear Editors, I logged in only today to find to my shock that the page on India's foremost historian has been deleted as and I quote "Google Scholar does not have enough citations". !! While I agree that the academician section may have been a tad offbeat, it does in no way warrant ruthless deletion of an entire page. Let me go on record in saying that 1) He is a historian of no trivial importance. 2) Having died in 1974 and having penned most of his book (if not articles) in Non English languages before the Internet Era, Google Scholar obviously cannot have citations! 3) The Star line up of his students who by their own merit have Wikipedia Pages dedicated to each of them bear testament to his fortitude and greatness as a teacher. 4) The historian who was quoted on Berlin Radio by Goebbels along with Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan cannot (for the love of God) be trivial. 5) Western perceptions of Notability need not hold ground in the orient. At best this action comes across as severely racist. Wonder what this will do to Wikipedia's standing in India and the East. ! 6) Notability in terms of outgoing and incoming links is a mundane concept especially when dealing with personalities of yesteryears. 7) While the page has been ruthlessly and racially discrimnated, the priceless group photographs of that Golden Age serve their purpose on other Wikipedia Pages. In fact Wikimedia Commons has given a good images badge ! 8) If Notability is the question, why then would 42 western libraries stack their racks with His books. Good Heavens. ! 9) Why would his thirty year old books undergo reprint even today to find a vast audience in India and abroad. ? 10) While Pornstars in the west find Wikipedia pages for them, a learned, reputed scholar and polyglot of enormous intellect finds no place here, because he is not noteworthy.!! Racism at its best. 11) I hope better sense prevails. Modifications are most welcome, but deletion is arrogance personified. We can concoct a thing or two. But to fabricate 10 books, 300 articles, to imagine 20 monographs and materialise 20 odd group photographs from the Golden Era of University of Mysore is indeed a trick that would put Houdini to shame. I implore you to restore the page. Advise us on the requisite modifications and we will certainly visit those concerns. We are not fanatical. Give Wikipedia a chance to be genuinely global. Western perceptions need not be the only perceptions the world sees. Hope justice can be done. Otherwise We for one would lose all inclination or interest towards a "Western Wikipedia". We remain yours Affectionately.Rkkrupa (talk) 05:00, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:25, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
