Hinduization of Sikhism
Hi - I nominate this article for deletion because of its almost complete copyright violation from and WP:NPOV, WP:SOURCE. This Fire Burns Always  15:45, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. This Fire Burns Always   15:45, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete not only is most of the text a copyvio, the title itself is inappropriate and the content doesn't match what the title is about! This article overwhelmingly talks about the RSS's propoganda and opinions.  The content that isn't a copyvio (not much is original as far as I can tell) should be put into the article on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Hinduism and the Sikh Panth.

 * Delete - copyvio - also, he told you exactly what was wrong with it, and I don't think anyone is too terribly concerned if you don't discuss it, just fix it. --PresN 16:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * W/e I don't care go delete it if its gonna help you sleep at night, can't even tell me what parts were copied and didn't have citations. You took Aryans side despite his name so I don't know what to make of this circle you have going on here. Stupid articles —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elven6 (talk • contribs) 2006-07-14 12:40:48 (UTC)
 * I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding here. Yes, you copied the text and added citations showing where you copied it from. The problem is that it is illegal to copy text like that even if you say where it was from. You have to write your articles yourself: you are not allowed to copy any text at all, except in the form of short quotations, which must be clearly identified as quotations. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 17:38, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
