[edit] India empire

Advertisement. Delete unless rewritten. - Mike Rosoft 10:56, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Disclosure: I speedied the contributor's other creation, which was an exact duplicate of this one under another name, and I pointed user at WP:NOT. --RobertG ♬ talk 11:01, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete doesn't the above comment mean this qualifies for CSD G4? Jamie (talk/contribs) 11:06, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment - not strictly CSD G4, since this was not a "recreation of deleted material", because the two were created almost simultaneously; this was created before I deleted the other one. --RobertG ♬ talk 11:20, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to British Raj, Indian Empire and Empire of India redirect there already. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 12:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment The article is not about the Indian Empire. It's about a magazine by that name. So redirect doesn't make sense.--Raghu 13:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
    • No, if it were merged it wouldn't make sense, but all that's kept when you simply redirect is the title. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 14:32, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
      • Then by the same arguement there should be Germany Empire which redirects to German Empire, which has an article. Like that for all other empires. Very unlikly that somebody would search for "India Empire" rather than "Indian Empire". I would also like to add that the magazine "India Empire" is real and maybe worth having an article if it is cleaned up.--Raghu 15:04, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
        • No, actually, it's quite likely that somebody would search for "India Empire" rather than "Indian Empire." Apparently you underestimate the online public. Search4Lancer 23:56, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect as per CanadianCaesar Search4Lancer 23:56, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • weak keep. The original was a copyvio straight from [1]. I tried making it a stub -- Astrokey44|talk 02:11, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  • weak keep after Astrokey44's edits. Can be merged into the India Book House article (it's publisher, which is a well-known firm), when it gets created. --Pamri • Talk 04:51, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • weak keep and move This article should be moved India empire (magazine). The title just by itself is confusing. - Ganeshk 22:58, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable. utcursch | talk 08:40, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Week Keep No problem with having the magazine as an article, but would be nice if it was more than a stub. Stephenb (Talk) 16:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
