[edit] Geeta Saar

Geeta Saar (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Okay, this article has already been speedy deleted twice, but the user just keeps re-creating it. Time to end this nonsense. Zazaban 00:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Question: What was the CSD under which the article was speedied the first two times? --Richard 01:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

It was deleted first as a nonsense page (by Utcursch), and second (by Pilotguy) as an unnecessary redirect to deleted article Gita Saar, which was in turn deleted twice (once by Swatjester and once by Riana) for no context. Kafziel ^Talk 20:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

• Moved to correct title and trascluded. Kafziel ^Talk 03:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Support See above Zazaban 00:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Not only has this been speedied twice as Geeta Saar, it's also been speedied twice as Gita Saar. After four attempts at an article, I have yet to see one that offers any context for the information. I don't see how it's notable. Kafziel ^Talk 03:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Per nom and Kafziel. --Ozgod 03:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable in wiki context. Clearly the text is important to a hindu, but it has no more place here than would a text from the Bible, the Q'ran or the Torah. Suggest both deletion and protection to prevent recreation - both spellings.--Anthony.bradbury 11:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - no assertion of notability, no context. Moreschi ^{Request a recording?} 13:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - delete and protect article name...--Cometstyles 15:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

WHOA! Conditional keep

Original comment - There's something I don't understand here. If you do a Google on "Gita Saar" you will get a bunch of hits back that mix "Bhagavad Gita" with "Gita Saar". It appears that the "Gita Saar" is much akin to the Ten Commandments or the Sermon on the Mount. (Actually, it reads more like the Desiderata to me but that's a digression.) So, contrary to what User:Anthony.Bradbury says, I think this article should be kept provided that it is agreed that the Gita Saar Gita is genuine and of the same notability as the Judeo-Christian texts that I provided for comparison. --Richard 00:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Neutral leaning towards Delete - Changed my vote per User:GourangaUK below. --Richard 16:38, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with and Redirect to Bhagavad Gita. These words are very popular among Hindus, and you can find them several Hindu temples and ashrams, and mathas. Googling gives several results[1][2] and there are entire sites dedicated to Gita SaarGita Saar. utcursch | talk 06:30, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete No evidence of notability given. If every section of an epic poem had it's own article .... the mind boggles NBeale 07:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Content is non-noteworthy. It is one particular translation/interpretation of certain verses from the Bhagavad Gita in English language. To say it is the most essential part of the Bhagavad Gita is blatant pov. Gouranga(UK) 15:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Content is memorable and widely seen in India. It may not have the same authority as the Gita itself, but nevertheless, it strives to capture the essence or at least put the reader into the mindset of "let go" which many state to be one of the important aspects of the Gita. I have always wondered about the author/motivator behind this Geeta Saar, and having this additional information would help. Think about it like this: The next time you are in Mumbai, and see this on a taxi windshield or rear window of some car, wouldn't you like to hit wikipedia and know more about it? Savyasaachi

  Comment There are a lot of things I would like to look up on Wikipedia, but not all are notable. It does not seem to be very notable outside India to me. Zazaban 18:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

  Sigh... "not very notable outside India" so what? India is a huge country. There's lots of stuff in Wikipedia that is not very notable outside the U.S. In fact, some of it is probably not very notable outside the state that it is in. Notability isn't necessarily international in scope. --Richard 18:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
