Hindu enclave

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can't find any sources that refer to a Hindu Enclave. The entire article, beginning with the term, the definition (foreign? 10%?) and continuing into the collection of demographic statistics from various countries appears to be WP:OR. regentspark (comment) 21:56, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agree with . I did find the phrase "Hindu enclave" used in some places, e.g.,, but not in any special sense that warrants a definition or extended treatment. I think this is a non-subject. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 22:17, 11 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Author Comment. Definition - I do agree with the definition and the fact that it needs to be solidified. Possibly instead of the term foreign since that is fairly vague, change it to actual geographical locations(eg. Southeast Asia, Oceania, North America) would be a viable alternative. Instead of 10% I believe it would be better to morph it into a more general meaning(eg. significant), like how the pages "little india(location)" and "ethnic enclave" have a vague numerical baseline but have a generally agreed upon categorisation. On the discussion of deletion, there are quite a bit of articles etc. on the topic, making it similar to the page "shtetl" and the terms "muslim enclave" etc. I do believe it needs work and the inclusion of not just demographic statistics but also something like temples, heritage centres etc. within the page to make it not just a demographic term but actually an enclave. Work definitely needs to be done, I agree with you on that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hindian1947 (talk • contribs) 22:36, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Author Comment. Fixed up page - Made some changes, added under construction tag. Looked at the mentions, it seems it has been talked about. Thoughts appreciated. Hindian1947 (talk) 23:01, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I am afraid the whole page is WP:OR. There needs to be a source that talks about "Hindu enclaves" in general, in order to make it viable. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:41, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete as massive WP:OR. There is an existing article India–Bangladesh enclaves which is a notable topic but the article in question lacks notability and is basically OR. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  19:51, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. No such term is a recognised entity as a simple googlesearch will show. While there may be Hindu majority areas in different parts of the world, congregating in one place, it is usually on the basis of cultural familiarity (e.g., in UK or in Australia and US, where linguistic trends can be observed). I'll comment on the creators record if called for, but for the moment there is no material content meriting such an article.rueben_lys (talk · contribs) 13:26, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. I notice WP has a "Category:Hindu enclaves", and it contains several of the places listed in this article.  Many of the towns that this article lists have WP articles that highlight their concentration of Hindus.  The issue is that there is no defined term "Hindu enclave" (e.g. what % of the population needs to be Hindu to be an enclave), however, it would seem useful/interesting to a reader to know the places around the world which are not Hindu countries/cities but have material concentrations of Hindus.  I think that if the author could produce a more objective list - E.g. cities/regions outside of India, Nepal and Mauritius where Hindus are over 10% of the population - then we could have a proper article.

 * Comment. I feel that that still constitutes WP:OR. Unless something is referred to as a "Hindu enclave" in RS, we have no business listing it as such. Whether it is referred in that way probably depends on a variety of local circumstances, and not simply a matter of calculating ethnic percentages. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:20, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Also, many of these "enclaves" are likely to be Indian, or more generally South Asian. Categorising them as "Hindu enclaves" would be overlooking the broader aspect of the phenomenon. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:33, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. The use of the term "enclave" is wrong here.  Just because a city in Canada has a high concentration of Hindus, it doesn't make it an enclave - E.g. the Hindus are not living in a specifically defined area, and controlling it, but completely surrounded by non-Hindus (the classic meaning of an Enclaves).  However with a better title E.g. List of Hindu communities in non-Hindu nations (or something better), it could work.  Again, I come back to the point that I would be interested to find places outside of India that have high Hindu concentrations. Britishfinance (talk) 19:43, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
