Conquest of the Nanda Empire

Despite efforts by various editors since this article was created in 2011, this article is very poorly written and provides little meaningful information about the topic. It seems to be primarily made up of original research, lacks reliable sources and is not neutral in its tone. Chewings72 (talk) 11:23, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - I've expanded the article and sources. The war/conquest was a significant event or group of events in the ancient world and seems to me to very much merit an article in Wikipedia. After my initial edit, tone and NPOV issues remain, especially with the bits I've taken from the original article. I'll try to edit these a bit more. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:08, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Chandragupta Maurya -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  18:25, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support last suggestion: while the subject is clearly significant (though not something I know about) what he have appears merely to be a copy and paste fork of that article. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:26, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * For what it is worth, a copy-paste performed (and credited in the edit summary) May 7 was from the recently updated Conquest of the Nanda Empire article to Chandragupta Maurya, and not the other way around. Smmurphy(Talk) 02:17, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Given the excellent and complete rewrite by Smmurphy, I have no issues in seeing what is now effectively a new article kept.Chewings72 (talk) 02:25, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
