[edit] Hindu primer

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

Not an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not a FAQ list. Already covered in hinduism. Weregerbil 04:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Don't Delete Hinduism, though the world's third largest religion and the most ancient is unfortunately also the most mis-understood. By keeping such articles, Wikipedia is doing a service to the community and helping to dispel the widely present misconceptions about this ancient Religion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.171.191.60 (talk • contribs) 19:05, 24 May 2007.
    Please see Wikipedia:No original research. utcursch | talk 06:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete poorly sourced essay, unlikely search term. (I was thinking this had something to do with Primer (paint) and wondered why Hindus would use a different kind than Muslims or Christians???) cab 05:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per WP:NOT#OR Acidskater 07:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, OR, possibly retitle and base on reliable sources. Abeg92contribs 19:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Well intentioned but obvious original research. Topic already covered in Hinduism and numerous other project articles. Abecedare 20:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete It is informative and in one place —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.125.80.96 (talk • contribs) 14:46, 25 May 2007.
    WP:USEFUL is not a useful argument. utcursch | talk 06:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete Retitle "Hinduism in a nut shell" Summaries are required in encyclopedias. Who on earth wants to go through all the stuff and research and more stuff. Can't things be simple? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.125.80.96 (talk • contribs) 15:00, 25 May 2007.
    Please have a look at the Simple English Wikipedia. utcursch | talk 06:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete Informative primer. Useful for quick reference. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.141.125.170 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 25 May 2007.
    The "useful" argument is not given any weight. utcursch | talk 06:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete This is useful information in a nutshell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jai Maharaj (talk • contribs) 17:37, May 25, 2007

  • Don't delete: Without hinduism, there would have been no civilization, no other religions and no language and no progress in science. By keeping such articles, Wikipedia is doing a service to the community and helping to dispel the widely present misconceptions about this ancient Religion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.181.100.141 (talk • contribs)

  • Delete per nom, looks like it's covered in the base article. Sad that these discussions get spammed with unsigned don't delete votes because of their prominent listing on said WikiProject. -- Phoenix2 (talk, review) 05:02, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment LOL, All of the "Don't Delete" votes are by the same editor, probably the author of the article. Have you ever even heard of a single "Don't Delete" vote ever before? They aren't the result of any sad, or said, WikiProject, Phoenix dear. In addition, the same editor has removed four "Delete" votes, which you can find in the history. I suggest Speedy Delete and close this thing before anyone else gets confused. ॐ Priyanath talk 02:04, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete The content is adequately mentioned in other Hinduism related pages. This article itself is Original Research and terribly written. GizzaChat © 09:56, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as above. Clearly spam and duplicated from other articles. Anwar 13:53, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • DO not delete - it is informative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.128.172.4 (talk • contribs)
