Lack of reliable sources, full of wp:or. Fails WP:V. — Mikeanand (talk) 04:28, 3 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge. What can be sourced properly can be transferred to the article on Bihar (the state) or the Biharis (its people). Should sufficient sources turn up, this can become its own article again. Cortador (talk) 11:00, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - The article is a mess, but I cannot understand the Fails WP:V comment. The books cited exist, appear to meet everything in WP:RS, and are directly relevant to the subject. Without some specific reasons to dismiss the RSs, there is no policy-bases rationale for this AfD. Perhaps the nominator could expand on the perceived problems?

 * The only problem I have is the fact that it is based on the synthesis of sources. I wrote "Fails WP:V" as a lot of the material is unsourced/poorly sourced. I have no problem if we keep this article after removing the original research. I don't think it is ready for the main space just now. Maybe, after some work in the draftspace in order to properly source it, it will be ready for the main space. Thank you.— Mikeanand (talk) 16:36, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Just to add, a merger of the reliably sourced content from this article to Bihari culture can also be a option to go for. Thank you.— Mikeanand (talk) 16:43, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. I also think this article is a mess, but cleaning it up would be better than just deleting it. WonderCanada (talk)
