There's already an article 'Chandala', and this article now adds nothing new, besides being rather awful.


 * Delete unless its a common enough typo, in which case we should perhaps consider redirct to Chandala... Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 14:31, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect - it's a plausible search term and the other article has more info. Peridon (talk) 18:18, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, a redirection would be best - I was not aware the procedure was different. Either way, this actual article must go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harsimaja (talk • contribs) 18:31, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Chandala; both seem to discuss about the same topic and the Candala article is unreferenced and inferior to the Chandala article. Salih  ( talk ) 04:56, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect valid (though archaic) search term--Sodabottle (talk) 06:41, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Not archaic - it's the standard international Sanskrit transliteration of 'chandala', so it is reasonable to assume any non-Indians who have come across the term in a religious context might spell it like that. Even more reason it ought to be redirected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harsimaja (talk • contribs) 17:42, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
