Decline of Hinduism in Pakistan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fork of Anti-Hindu#Pakistan and Persecution of Hindus. And I am not finding sources which discuss this as a specific phenomena outside of the usual persecution that minority groups suffer from, so perhaps a redirect to Persecution of Hindus would be the best solution Darkness Shines (talk) 07:54, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete as an unnecessary article, and it also fits the definition of WP:FORK in case of already existing articles, namely Anti-Hindu and Persecution of Hindus. A summary of the content can also go into Hinduism in Pakistan.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 13:33, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge into Hinduism in Pakistan. The topic does seem notable, in my view; the BBC and OneIndia sources seem to give the topic significant coverage.  At the same time, it probably meets WP:FORK due to the existence of the more general article; this "decline" article could become a section of the main one.  —Theodore!

 * Delete : An unneeded content fork of other articles. This can be merged, but I would need verification that someone would actually merge it before I change my position. I have seen too many articles stay around after a merge result. SL93 (talk) 01:23, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I would gladly do the merge as soon as this discussion closes. —Theodore! (talk) (contribs) 12:31, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright. Consider this !vote a Merge. SL93 (talk) 12:33, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge into Hinduism in Pakistan. or perhaps create a new article on Persecution of minorities in Pakistan which is a notable topic deserving of a stand alone article.--Wikireader41 (talk) 01:35, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * An article on that already exists, see Religious discrimination in Pakistan. I'll redirect "Persecution of minorities in Pakistan" to there.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 14:29, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanx. I see it. then perhaps a merge to Religious discrimination in Pakistan. Article could have a separate section for Shia's, Ahmadiyya's, Hindu's, Sikhs and Christians.--Wikireader41 (talk) 20:18, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Which article (Hinduism in Pakistan or Religious discrimination in Pakistan should we merge this into? Both?  The comments above seem to differ on this.  —Theodore! (talk) (contribs) 22:46, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I think useful info could be added to both these articles. Right now the religious discrimination article is not well developed at all.--Wikireader41 (talk) 02:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I think I'll make the redirect from the article in question to Hinduism in Pakistan, but will add the same amounts of content to both the religious discrimination page and the Hinduism one.  Whenever this is closed, I'll go ahead and do it.  —Theodore! (talk) (contribs) 12:12, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
