Discrimination against girls in India

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

See WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. The article is poorly written and such subject "discrimination against girls" is not available for any other country. We don't have Discrimination against girls in the United States. We don't need to create more POV forks when we already have Gender inequality in India, Violence against women in India.

 * Keep. I agree that this article is poorly written and sourced: it's meandering and the material needs consolidating and expanding. It is clearly a sub-topic of Gender inequality in India, and needs to be edited to sit effectively alongside Female foeticide in India, Female infanticide in India, and Violence against women in India. On the other hand, there's no question that discrimination against girls specifically in post-natal health, education and employment is the subject of huge amounts of academic research, and it makes sense to have a proper article on this, cited as a 'main' article at the relevant paragraph in Gender inequality in India. Just to demonstrate notability, I've rather tentatively begun Discrimination against girls in India based on a quick scholar.google.com search. This is by no means an expert selection, and of course what this article really needs is proper in-line references, but I believe it indicates that the topic readily meets WP:GNG. As for the point that other similar entries don't exist for other countries, that's not an argument to delete this piece. Maybe they should exist! But either way, India is such a vast country that it's bound to sustain articles on subjects that would be too niche for many other countries. Alarichall (talk) 10:46, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:POVFORK. There is nothing here that we can't cover on the named articles. Accesscrawl (talk) 16:06, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how this is a point-of-view fork. There's no question that discrimination against girls exists in India, and this article isn't offering a conflicting opinion to the articles of similar content. Rather it is attempting (albeit not very successfully) to present more detail on a sub-topic. I don't think that's what a WP:POVFORK is. Alarichall (talk) 19:02, 24 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. There is no need to keep a standalone article for "discrimination" since  the scope of the subject and the concerning sources cover what has been already added to articles like Women's health in India, Female infanticide in India, and Violence against women in India. --RaviC (talk) 10:19, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:POVFORK. There at enough closely similar articles that can be expanded instead. desmay (talk) 00:36, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: This article is well-sourced and brings together a number of useful aspects.--Ipigott (talk) 10:46, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. This article is seven years old and seems integrated/linked to other WP articles. Does this article serve as a useful portal/gateway to other specialist WP articles on the subject (as I think it is trying to do)? OR, is the content in this articile taking a different view/POV-conclusion from the specialist WP articles on the subject; in which case we are getting into POVFORK territory.  Could the nom give us some specific examples?  The topic is certainly notable (I won't list the references, as this should not be in dispute), so the issue is really down to one of a POVFORK for me.  Note that his topic is not specific to India by a long-shot, but that shouldn't factor.  Britishfinance (talk) 23:16, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete on the basis that the subject is concerns rights of women and should be better covered on existing articles instead of WP:CFORKING. Rzvas (talk) 23:25, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
