As I said the article is WP:CFORK or is a WP:POVFORK it has only one external link in from Raj Thackeray, which is by no means an indication of a good exposure or consensus that is needed to build a successful article that needs a balance of different POVs. Because its orphaned the main and prime objective is to find an article of the type WP:SS that should have been a starting point for this article and should contain key information from this article (and context) and has a good live discussion that allows consensus to be build, which is the key to all successful articles. I also would avoid using journal covers as means of illustrating the point. In other words article needs to be restructured to meed consensus guidelines which are the basis of NPOV - as with any conflict there are different sides and a context that is missing and the consensus if the article would have been properly started is the means of arriving at what is called a good article.
Because it has only links from Raj Thackeray - it appears to confirm a situation of WP:POVFORK in combination with WP:BLP policies misapplied. Under this situation and unless its clearly placed within a context it should be merged into Raj Thackeray (is it a POV attack on BLP, see WP:BLP principle - 'do not hurt'?) or in any other relevant article that is relevant and has a lively discussion going on as for example Caste-related violence in India or Dalit or create a main summary style article and discuss it in detail in a relevant project noticeboard to (again) ensure a consensus. Key to NPOV is consensus as in WP:YESPOV not WP:RS sources. There is no point in going over parts of article unless this is in place. Wikidās- 11:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
