[edit] Indo-Pak Union
This seems to fall in WP:NOT in the publisher of original thought, as either a critical review or some sort of personal essay. Any useful information could be merged into Foreign_relations_of_India#Pakistan. Ricky81682 (talk) 06:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree - most of this is information as opposed to opinion, but it would all be relevant at the aforementioned page. There is no need to have a separate page. Lupinewulf 06:14, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- It's hard to call. I'd like to see a rewrite to see the purpose of the article: is it an editorial, a summary for an adopted governmental plan, or a proposal? B.Wind 06:15, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete apparent original research. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 12:10, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I wrote the article and believe it is important both as a stand alone piece and agree that it should be linked into the other more general article. This is a concept which is unofficially under development between high ranking participants in each country. Why would you ever delete it? It is an important and separate concept than the general political dialogue between the countries, which should refer to it. Yes, it can be improved and I will make efforts to do so later. I cannot understand why anyone would want to stop the blossoming of such an important initiative for 1.3 BN people. Also, please note that the movement is unofficial and should not be given higher accord, lest its own chances of success be reduced. Thanks.
- Then I strongly suggest a rewrite ASAP to bolster your contention before the article gets merged or deleted. It needs Wikification as well. If it's an official policy of one or both countries, references to that effect are necessary here. As it is, it still reads as someone's pipe dream or critical essay (both of which are not permissible in Wikipedia). Also, you overestimate the importance of Wikipedia when you write I cannot understand why anyone would want to stop the blossoming of such an important initiative for 1.3 BN people as it is more likely that the number of people who read the article will be in the thousands (if that much), not the millions.

- I believe the 1.3 Billion people reference is to the combined populations of India and Pakistan. --Gurubrahma 09:38, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete would reconsider if it was improved. - FrancisTyers 00:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I have rewritten the piece to incorporate the above suggestions, including linking it into the piece on India Foreign Policy. Any help on formatting would be appreciated as I am new to Wiki.
- Delete - Original research. I see no changes. - Ganeshk 00:42, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
The document has now been reduced to a short set of factual statements. The term "Indo-Pak Union" exists independently, as can be ascertained by a Google search.
