Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dambaru Sisa
Yes, this still needs some improvement, but the sources do exist to improve it with. Even if they're weakly sourced in their current state, we know for a fact that holders of office at the state legislative assembly level get |reliable source coverage — and passing GNG is a question of how many sources ''exist'' to improve the article with, not of how many sources are already in the current version of the article. Copyright problems don't necessarily have to force the deletion of the article in all instances, because articles can be easily rewritten to ''resolve'' the copyright problem — and since the copied source is actually a ''press release'' on an open press release distribution platform in an American local media market where an Indian MLA would ''not'' be expected to organically generate real news coverage, this isn't even really a copyright violation — rather, it was that classic Wikipedia referencing error, where people who misunderstand how our referencing rules work think they can |self-publish their own self-written referencing to |user-generated platforms as a ''substitute'' for organic media coverage. That's obviously not how it works, for anybody — but ''proper'' referencing ''does'' exist here, and the creator has already taken the note and started showing some of it. So let's chalk this up to good faith newbie error and move on
