Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hinduism

Shortcuts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Hinduism. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Hinduism|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Hinduism. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Hinduism in Belize

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This topic as whole fails WP:GNG, the population itself is not significant making only 0.2% of population and no reliable sources treat it as a notable topic. This was initially redirected but then someone opposed the redirect. - Ratnahastin (talk) 01:51, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Religion in Belize. The latter article is short and can easily accommodate a section in Hinduism. While at it, merge other minor religions, like Islam in Belize, redirect Buddhism in Belize). Викидим (talk) 02:03, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no secondary sources. We just deleted a bunch of articles about Jews in X small country, so this is a fair comparison. No objection to a redirect. Bearian (talk) 13:33, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and/or merge to Religion in Belize. There's not really much here to merge, but it's best for the reader for that search term to take them somewhere in the (admittedly unlikely) event that somebody types "Hinduism in Belize" into the search bar. Religion in Belize makes the most sense as the target article. Plenty of room for expansion there, and not enough here to justify this article being split off from that article.

Hinduism in Barbados

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This topic as whole fails WP:GNG, the population itself is not significant making only 0.46% of population and no reliable sources treat it as a notable topic. This was initially redirected but then someone opposed the redirect. - Ratnahastin (talk) 01:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kalin (Hinduism)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:V; after searching extensively, I found no reliable sources verifying the existence of 'Kalin' in the Rigveda or Hindu mythology. Likely WP:OR. Nxcrypto Message 07:04, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Mythology, Religion, and Hinduism. Nxcrypto Message 07:04, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@NXcrypto,

I agree that this article should be marked for deletion based on its lack of coverage as shown in WP:SIGCOV Chilicave (talk) 03:34, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and the article originally began as a hoax, as evident from its initial version: [1]. Nxcrypto Message 13:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bhavishya Malika Puran

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I propose taking action on the article "Bhavishya Malika Puran" as it solely presents propaganda spread by news channels for financial gain. Context: The article is highly disputed, and its accuracy as a translation of the original Bhavishya Malika remains unverified. News channels have extensively covered this topic, primarily repeating the claims made by the Pandit. Unfortunately, the errors in this translated book, which appears to be motivated by financial interests, have gone unchallenged. Having carefully examined the book and its issues, I recommend one of the following actions: 1. Archive the article until credible evidence supporting its claims is provided. Or 2. Add a disclaimer to the article stating that it is a controversial issue and establish a Reception section to present a balanced view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kharavela Deva (talk • contribs) 12:06, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2024 December 7. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 12:38, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nominator didn't provide a valid reason for article deletion. However, the subject passes WP:NBOOK. Rajeev Gaur123 (talk) 06:10, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which of the 5 criteria did it pass for English Wikipedia:Notability_(books)? Would Hindi Wikipedia be more appropriate?Some of the sources appear to be solely in Hindi and/or are interviews, quotes, promotional, or blatanly state that the publisher takes no responsibility: "The above information is based on various sources. Webdunia does not officially confirm it." Alegh (talk) 22:11, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
