 * Merge/redirect to Indian Premier League (IPL). This is a widely used term in the context of the IPL. However, I am doubtful if enough sourced content exists to stand up a page. Consequently, a merge in to the IPL article looks the way to go. As examples of perfectly reliable sources see:, , , etc. Smile a While (talk) 03:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I support creating a redirect to Indian Premier League, but I am not so convinced about the merger option. The only reason I nominated it for deletion was because I felt that it was mainly neologism. Of course, there are perfectly reliable sources, after all, neologisms get covered in the media for a specific period of time, and then die out. But is there sufficient evidence to prove that the term has entered common usage and that the subject has gained enough popularity to justify an article/section dedicated to it on Wikipedia? That is my question, so speaks rohith. 08:47, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think that we need to draw a distinction of substance between a page and a section in another page. I fully agree with you that it doesn't merit a page both because, as I say above, I doubt that we have the content for one and, as you rightly say, it hasn't entered common usage. However, for a section different criteria apply; these are that it should be relevant and encyclopedic in the page and reliably sourced. In the context of the IPL it is in common usage and relevant and as I have shown can be reliably sourced. Consequently, I think that a short, pithy section would be useful and is all that is required. I am not sure that there is any real difference between this page being closed as a redirect or a merge; if it was closed as a redirect then someone could still add sourced content to the IPL article. Whether the content stayed in would be up to the regular editors of the IPL page which would also be the case if it was closed as merge though, perhaps, editors might be more inhibited about removing it in the latter case.
