As suggested in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tirukkural translations into Rajasthani, nominating individual articles.

Already covered in Tirukkural translations. No proof of WP:Notability of the the one partial transalation on its own accord. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:33, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Literature, Hinduism, India, and Finland. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 17:33, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: More citations added to establish notability. Kural translation is a highly notable topic and the addition of citations asserts the notability of individual translations, as noted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tirukkural translations into Rajasthani. Article now passes WP:GNG. Rasnaboy (talk) 09:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Reference #1 is literally just an entry in a table, contributing nothing towards GNG. Reference #4 appears to be the (partial) translation itself, and naturally can't contribute towards GNG either. @Rasnaboy: What do the offline sources (#2 and #3) say about the Finnish translations in specific? How detailed is the coverage? Simply asserting that GNG is met is not useful for this discussion.-Ljleppan (talk) 09:35, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source #2 is a collection of articles by various authors and, if my memory serves me right, has separate essays on each translation. Source #3 has a chapter on translations in general, where the Finnish translation is included. In general, details for Finnish is meager compared with other translations. Nevertheless, it is discussed on most, if not all, of the Kural translations–related works. Rasnaboy (talk) 02:42, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is much too vague to be useful for this discussion. What does a chapter on translations in general, where the Finnish translation is included mean? Is it mentioned once in passing? Listed in a table like in ref #1? As for reference #2, we don't count hypothetical sourcing: someone must verify that it discusses the topic in some detail. You can't just vaguely hand wave towards most, if not all, of the Kural translations–related works and claim that Article now passes WP:GNG. Ljleppan (talk) 06:26, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, since the two references I have access to are useless for GNG purposes (one being literally a single word + a single number in a table and the other a partial translation itself), and no concrete information seems to be forthcoming about the other two. -Ljleppan (talk) 18:41, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding ATDs, I'm not really seeing anything properly sourced to merge into Tirukkural translations. W/r/t redirecting to it, I personally don't see much value in this redirect, but I wouldn't oppose it either. Ljleppan (talk) 18:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Two sources that cover a subject is not really enough for WP:SIGCOV. I would not object to a smerge into the main article on translations of this text. Bearian (talk) 00:20, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
