[edit] Pakistani nationalism

Pakistani nationalism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Useless topic purely created for trolling/nation bashing see contributor, is none other then the infamous Indian nationalist Hkelkar who is a racist and has made ethnic slurs,[1] see the Raf pending against him here StreetScholar 15:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• Hkelkar (talk • contribs) is not the sole editor of the article, and the neutrality disputes are being worked out on the talk page. The article is poorly sourced, with many citations being unusable. However, a quick Google Scholar search turns up a whole boatload of usable sources for an article on the subject of Pakistani nationalism, some of which are:
  • Sanjay Chaturvedi (May 2002). "Process of Othering in the case of India and Pakistan". Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie 93 (2): 149. DOI:10.1111/1467-9663.00191.

• Thus whatever problems that there are with the article can be solved by working from sources. The nomination appears to be an attempt to mis-use AFD for solving a neutrality and sourcing dispute. The proper venue for that is the article's talk page, where indeed such discussions have been ongoing for several months. Keep. Uncle G 17:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I did not even create the article. It was created by another Pakistani User User:S Seagal.Hkelkar 20:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Keep Bad faith nom from a user who himself has made racist and sexist attacks. See Street Scholar (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log), his block log, and extensive list of complaints against this disruptive user. Hkelkar 19:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, see this, concerning street scholar. User routinely makes sexist, racist and drogatory comments, is extremely disruptive, blanks sourced content across pages (vandalism) and is generally trollish in behavior. Perhaps admin should close this AfD early on account of the extreme bad faith behind the nom.Hkelkar 20:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep -- bad faith nomination based purely on a content dispute with the article. While I have no desire to get involved in the content dispute, proposing an article for deletion isn't the way to fix things. (I've learned this lesson the hard way.) --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 20:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- can't say as I'm a big fan of Hkelkar's style, but the article is a notable subject and fails no deletion criteria. --Elaragirl^Talk|Count 22:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
