Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kalindi

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete - since nobody can provide reliable evidence that it is another name for Yamuna a redirect is not appropriate (it can always be created if such evidence comes to light). Yomangani^talk 18:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kalindi

No mention of it in linked article at Yamuna for which it claims to be an alternate name—and if that claim is true, this article should likely be a redirect. No real information here, talk page suggests possible confusion, has been tagged for nine months or so asking for citations and verification and nothing has been done.

• Redirect to Yamuna. Google search for "Kalindi+Yamuna" confirms existence of this alternative name.--Húsönd 17:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Did you read the talk page suggestion that Kalindi-Yamuna is a different river? I don't know the answer, but I don't think we should be redirecting to our Yamuna article if that is the case. Gene Nygaard 19:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

All the Google results I checked referred to them as being different names for the same river. Often "Kalindi (Yamuna)" and vice-versa.--Húsönd 01:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Either it's a different river, in which case this is a one line stub giving the wrong information and Wikipedia would be better off if it's deleted, or it's the same river and there's no need for this entry other than as a redirect which I don't think anybody will miss if deleted.

• Comment searchin online has not yielded a clear idea as to the relationship between the two, though one does seem to exist. - Tewfik^Talk 16:58, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• Why is this being relisted? No verifiability → Delete. ~ trialsanderrors 00:40, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Probably because it's not completely and utterly unverifiable, there are actual sources on it, even if those sources are perhaps not as robust as might be hoped for. For example, there are lots of baby names books that use it. And a few other links. Me, i'm inclined to say that this should be verifiable, but it'd probably require someone from India to do it, since they'd have access to the material. FrozenPurpleCube 00:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

It is unverified. That's all that really matters, not unverifiable. It's not like it would be any big loss, a dubious at best sentence or two. If there is anything worthwhile, it may crop up again in the futre, but by someone who knows how to verify whatever information there is. Gene Nygaard 01:05, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is unverified, all that means is somebody hasn't verified it yet. It is still verifiable, and I don't know about you, but when I do a search for "Kalindi River", I get some hits. Mostly stuff from babyname sites, but there are a few news sources that use the phrase, including what seems to be a report on a wetlands page and something to do with a border incident with Bangladesh. So it's not coming up a total blank. Now personally, I'd prefer something from an official Indian gov't agency on this, but I expect you'd have to be from India to do it. FrozenPurpleCube 01:26, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and there is a suggestion of confusion, that there is no connection of this name to the Yamuna for which we have an article. Gene Nygaard 05:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. I tried to verify it, but I can't. There are two rivers by this name, but it they aren't related to the Yamuna. Arbusto 02:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

So, should we have articles on those other rivers named Kalindi? FrozenPurpleCube 02:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

You can make them if you like. What's here wouldn't help you any even if we kept it. Gene Nygaard 05:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect. [1]. utcursch | talk 13:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nominator, not to vote again but just to clarify I do not support redirect because there is no reason to believe it would be correct to do so. Gene Nygaard 15:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or Redirect, but for Krishna's sake don't leave it as is. Vectro 17:54, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
