The result was redirect to George Felix Allen -- Samir धर्म 06:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• From the related Afd Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shekar Ramanuja Sidarth, a more detailed handling of this situation is at Virginia United States Senate election, 2006#The Macaca/monkey incident. I view this as a more appropriate re-direct, and am changing it -- Samir धर्म 06:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] S.R. Sidarth

Person is only notable due to an incident with Senator George Felix Allen. All content in this article was taken directly from the senator's article. Probably doesn't qualify as duplicate content but still shouldn't be out there. StuffOfInterest 19:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete As stated in nomination. StuffOfInterest 19:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep until consensus met on merge question. Then delete or redirect. Richardjames444 19:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Change to delete after reading the relevant talk pages. Richardjames444 19:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Sidarth is Mohandas Ghandi's grandson- does this make a difference re notability? Richardjames444 19:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment actually he was Ghandi's secretary, so never mind. Richardjames444 19:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Grandson of a notable person, or of their secretary, doesn't make someone notable in themself. It does sometimes make them worthy of mention in the notable person's article. Some day, years from now, when Sidharth goes into politics himself he will be worthy of an article. At that time someone will find this old AfD and laugh at his early history. :) --StuffOfInterest 19:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect People will reasonably search for this person, and there should be an entry - which redirects to the section of the Allen article. He's been on television, and has been interviewed, which means users have a reasonable expectation of an entry. Stirling Newberry 23:45, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect this controversy has been noted on George Felix Allen's page. I don't think a separate article is needed for this one. --Ageo020 01:07, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirected Seems to be the consensus of the merge debate on Sen. Allen's talk page, and a sentiment for it here. Richardjames444 01:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect as is. If someone searches for it, they'll be taken to the proper article now. RFerreira 21:38, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
