Bhojpuri people

Topic lacks in-depth coverage in secondary sources. Also the reliability of the claims in the article seems dubious (based on original research). Talked with the creator and gave what I think was an ample amount of time to come up with WP:RSes but all in vain. Mr T (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 08:12, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Comment. A quick Google search turns up information that the Bhojpuri might be a segment of the Bihari. The only lengthy article that I could find came from an evangelical website, describing them repeatedly in the article as the "Bhojpuri Bihari". There's very little information on them out there, and a lot more about their language. The article here on Wikipedia describing the Bihari also includes Bhojpuri speakers among them. If they're not an independent group of people, though, and are a distinctive segment of the Bihari, then I would definitely suggest a delete on the page, with information about the cultural distinctions common to Bhojpuri speakers on the Bihari page.

 * Would you agree to scavenge the one relaible source here for the Bihari article and then deleting this article? MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:42, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I definitely think that would be a good idea, although I don't know that I'll have the time to do it personally over the next few weeks. I'm in favor of a merge with Bihari, if you think that would be the appropriate course of action. Chri$topher  20:31, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mediran ( t  •  c ) 00:59, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Bihari people. At least with a redirect, people interested in this ethnic group will be able to find the most relevant related topic. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:23, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect if possible, but I definitely agree with the redirect. Chri$topher  02:40, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge the single reliable source and redirect to Bihari people per the dialogue above. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:07, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
