 * Comment - It looks like the creation of the article was based on a WP:COPYVIO. Compare the lead (first edit) to this article (cited), published the same day in The Hindu. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 19:32, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to Anti-Hinduism. Not seeing enough in the literature to distinguish this as a topic sufficiently distinct from anti-Hinduism such that it merits its own stand-alone article (which is to say, even if there are sources showing the neologism is notable, that doesn't mean it should have its own article because it still substantially overlaps with another topic we already cover. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 19:35, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Not Suitable to merger/redirection with Anti-hinduism there is enough literature to distinguish the both, Anti-Hinduism and Hindophobia. Hinduphobia is different from Anti-Hinduismin the sense that the later is often used to refer violent and abusive activities against Hindus. which are visible and obvious while the former is used to refer contemporary anti-Hindu approach ambiguously practiced in academic, political, social discourse. Article does not overlap the existing topic Anti-Hinduism. Hinduphobia leads to Anti-Hinduism, as i will add more information regularly to show the difference.

 * Our article on Anti-Hinduism defines it as "a negative perception or religious intolerance against the practice and practitioners of Hinduism". Although you may be right that some people use that term to refer to violence/abuse, it clearly encompasses more than that. Some of the examples in that article are calling Hindus racists, calling them "demonic", stereotyping of all sorts, etc. As the name implies, anti-Hinduism is just a perspective against Hinduism -- it's not particular to certain activities as far as I can tell. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 13:20, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge or redirect per WP:SNOW and WP:FORK. Even if there is a distinction, there is no difference. Bearian (talk) 19:19, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 06:57, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe redirect as suggested as although News, Books and highbeam all found results, it's likely best at the other article for now. SwisterTwister   talk  06:46, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
