Talk:Kondho

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... (your reason here) --Hdpradhan (talk) 11:59, 21 October 2017 (UTC) Despite providing citations and academic references to historical documentary sources, Sitush has repeatedly changed the page "Khonds" to refer only to a small clan of Dongria Khonds. Sitush seems adamant on conflating the Dongria Khonds, a minor clan from Niyamgiri with the entire Kondh Tribe. I have therefore created this page to present well researched and referenced material on the Khonds/ Kondhos. A full ethnographic and histriograpic description of Kondho Society is being short shifted in favour of a very subjective and biased article supportive of the Dongria Khonds of Niyamgiri, rather than the entire Khond population. Since Sitush is insistent on taking over the page Khonds with political information, I have tried to present the information which I feel is relevant to students of Anthropology and Sociology as well as History of the Khonds. I challenge the contention that my edits are not well referenced. i have referenced the best source material available, which can be cross checked. It is specious of Sitush to say that Reports and Memoirs of British Officers in archives, Government of India Gazzettes, Journals and critically acclaimed books are all poor references. I request a review of my references. I welcome edits for making the article more comprehensible. Please do not delete.


 * You've duplicated significant parts of the Khonds article (without attribution per WP:COPYWITHIN, btw) as a vehicle to include edits that don't stand up to consensus at the existing article. It is the same subject, just an alternate name.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 12:04, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * To the reviewing Admin: I am the editor who tagged this with a speedy. After further reviewing the history and policy, this probably falls under WP:POVFORK instead of a duplicate article. I would have no objections to a PROD or AfD process instead of speedy. The article is a result of a content dispute at Khonds. "Kondho"is apparently an alternate name and the article was created simply to include the edits that were disputed on the Khonds page. The material copied directly from that article (without attribution) should be merged back and this page redirected to Khonds.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 04:25, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
