Hindustan Zindabad

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Hindustan Zindabad is a slogan per WP:DICDEF, were wrongly created and then expanded by adding instances of any events available online whenever these slogan was chanted. This AfD is in agreement with this RFC comment  D Big X ray   15:29, 19 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I've removed Pakistan Zindabad from this nomination. Nominate it separately on it's own merits. -- lTopGunl (talk) 15:43, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Consensus from Pak Watan article does not apply here. This is a separate discussion on different points. -- lTopGunl (talk) 15:44, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok per your suggestion I have renominated it on Articles for deletion/Pakistan Zindabad and removed the old Afd-- D Big X ray   15:50, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep: this is a national slogan of India, is sourced, and passes WP:N.– Lionel (talk) 02:54, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: see no reasons.Justice007 (talk) 10:34, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: most of the article is dictionary stuff (meaning, usage, etymology). Information about historical events where it was used would be more useful in articles on the events themselves. --Stfg (talk) 14:01, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Historically significant slogan. Article needs improvement though.--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:26, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Delete Never heard of it. No wonder the sources are few and far between (bordering on non-existent).  The historical counterpoint to "Pakistan Zindabad" was "Pakistan Murdabad," not "Hindustan Zindabad."  Pakistan was breaking away in 1947, and "Hindustan," by then, no longer stood for undivided India; the people opposing the separation vocally would hardly have asserted the primacy of what was left behind.  Fowler&amp;fowler  «Talk»  05:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)  Having just taken a look at the available sources, I have to take back what I said in my previous comment.  The slogan is historically somewhat notable, but nowhere near as notable as "Pakistan Zindabad" or "Pakistan Murdabad."  It the article survives, it will need to be written very carefully.

 * PS Its alleged use in the Kashmir valley by the Kashmiris (94% Muslim) sounds like Indian propaganda. Fowler&amp;fowler  «Talk»  05:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * PPS As for contemporary use, the word "Hindustan," ironically, is no longer much used in India. Fowler&amp;fowler  «Talk»  05:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
