Delete Google finds just a couple of possibly reliable sources with more than passing mentions ([1], [2]), but only barely more than passing. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:41, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this article describes an important movement in India.--Karthi.dr (talk) 08:04, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the entry. This is a bottoms up independent movement of citizens of India. Recently widely covered in the top 3 English newspapers in India - Times of India (#1 circulation in India), Hindustan Times #2, The Hindu #3. --Bharathivisw (talk) 10:06, 19 April 2014 (UTC)— Bharathivisw (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Can you show us where the first two of these publications have covered it? Google finds nothing for Times of India. For Hindustan Times, it finds [3], [4], [5]. I may be mistaken, but these all look to me like instances of AskHow India providing content, not being reported on. I do find what look like three decent mentions in The Hindu: [6], [7], [8]. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:10, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning keep subject seems notable enough. Apart from this, the movement has received quite a bit of coverage by the press in relation to the elections in India. However, most sources which I could find from Google Search (I haven't looked very closely, though) seemed to have the same wording as the article in the Hindu, which leads me to believe that most of them were copied from the same article. —₡lockery ₣airfeld ₰ 11:58, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As pointed above the Hindu references are pretty credible. Here is another independent reference fro Indian Express http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/for-the-people-by-the-techies/99/— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajeshmalviya1601 (talk • contribs) 06:50, 22 April 2014 (UTC) — Rajeshmalviya1601 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep An extremely informative forum with a strong R&D base. The information that is made available from this website, it credible, and seems notable like similar movements in the policy space in India. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jJhsWvWFBuA shows them sharing the same platform as Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), Parliamentary Research Services (PRS), NDTV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.0.86.162 (talk) 02:54, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a great forum that pulls citizens, and especially the youth, into the process of cleaning up and maintaining correct systems of law, governance and others in the country and urges the youth to play a part in this process by asking the right questions based on a sound understanding of issues. AskHowInida features in articles in The Hindu (http://www.thehindu.com/features/magazine/ask-how-for-change/article5788479.ece), The Indian Express (timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/A-Tell-Me-How-for-Indian-citizens/articleshow/33303187.cms) as stated above, and is actively involved in this process of empowering citizens with the right information on matters of local and national significance. People should be made more aware of this forum to which they can look to to understand national issues and understand their role in it better. Keeping this entry on Wikipedia is, therefore, crucial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.7.54.33 (talk) 08:57, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
