[edit] Hindu (Culture)

Hindu (Culture) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Despite its name, the article is just a POV fork/original research/personal essay created and edited by three suspected socks of Maleabroad (namely Summam, TypeEditor1 and Abcde0) after previous sustained attempts (by other socks of the user) to insert similar text in Hindu article were rejected (see for example). FYI, this blocked user has created similar POV fork articles before; see for example [1], [2]. Abecedare 03:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• delete and userfy, this fails WP:CITE at the very least, and as such has to be assumed to be WP:OR, but in theory the author may be able to salvage some of this for another article. The problem here is that the title is most certainly of an encyclopedic subject so redirect to Culture of India (which is where Hindu culture currently redirects as well). -Markeer 14:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as per above. This is not the first time this tactic has been used via sockpuppets of Maleabroad, see also [3]. Gouranga(UK) 20:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I know that Hindu would deserve to have an article about its culture but considering it is POV and it is made by a sock, I opt for the delete. Maybe if someone can start up an article that makes more sense and more NPOV, it would be much better.--JForget 00:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, then recreate as a redirect to Culture of India as suggested by Markeer. Or just make it a redirect, I guess the text is already in the wiki database about a thousand times thanks to the revert warring this user indulges in. Orpheus 08:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
