[Wikipedia-l] Entries for deletion.... issues from the Third World

[Roberto Alfonso]

Hi there,

Personally, I prefer to prod articles with notability asserted but no way
to verify that. In these "cases", I also check if the Wikipedia in the
language related to the article (in this case, hi.wikipedia.org) has an
entry about this topic.

I haven't, but maybe I should suggest creating an article in the user's
native language. In the same way as a Google test fails, an AFD may also
fail due the inability of users to check the claims.

Oh, once I even posted a note at WikiProject India to get some feedback
about Mair Rajputs :-)
