Reason: I believe that this page violates a series of WP policies such as content forking and the inability to create a neutral point of view. This was nominated for PROD and CSD before but a thorough discussion is required, hence this AfD. The page has been created to disparage the subject by quoting news sources that have speculative data. WP:CRITS essentially recommends that such pages that are "dedicated to negative criticism of a topic is usually discouraged" and I think these are valid reasons to discuss its existence.

Request a fellow user to please complete the AfD process. 2405:204:A8:6E73:CD9F:5090:40C2:251D (talk) 12:28, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Completing nomination on behalf of IP, requested at WT:AFD. I have not looked at this closely enough to form an opinion at this time. --Finngall ^talk 17:53, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge -- The scams list is atrociously assembled. A proper rewrite would shorten it. The core Reliance article isn't so long to preclude combination of the scams article. That would allow some context, which is missing. Rhadow (talk) 18:19, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge - By way of disclosure, I declined the earlier PROD for procedural reasons, and recommended that it should go to AfD for proper discussion. That being said, I think merging the useful content into the main Reliance Industries page would be a good outcome.PohranicniStraze (talk) 19:21, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or Redirect – Thank you for starting the discussion, Finngall. I thought I’d follow up to my original comments here. While merging would have been ideal to any list that’s written so haphazardly and without context, I think the primary sentiment and/or the intention of the article is the problem and remains one where a neutral point of view would not be straightforward to produce even if we were to selectively edit it. The issue, as the way I look at it, is not only the existence of a separate page but the content and the theme themselves. Adding the content in the original subject page would not solve the problem of content forking and NPOV, as I had mentioned originally. As we all know that WP:CRITS discourages (though not explicitly forbids) content that is only intended to negatively promote a subject, I strongly believe that deletion (or redirection) is a valid option. Having said that, it is not entirely responsible of us to altogether ignore these sources where the data has been extracted from. Since the original page already has a section, it would make more sense for us editors to go through that section as well and do the needful. Alternatively, I believe the use of words like “scams” and “controversies” is generally frowned upon on WP and something that we should avoid however the discussion ends. That’s all. 2405:204:11B:A590:3CBA:D227:5D45:79CA (talk) 12:11, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
