India as a rising superpower

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article was previously successfully deleted (under PROD) due to it consisting almost entirely of SYN, OR and NEO. This view was shared by multiple users and the deleting admin. The page has today been re-made by recently unblocked user Neilpine, it should be noted he was blocked for his behavior in articles such as this relating to 'power in international relations'. It should also be noted that he was the original creator of the page in question. The reason I bring this here is that the restoration went ahead without the deleting admin being contacted or without any explanation and I believe it should be deleted once again. G.R.

 * Comment. I've restored the previous talk page where the fate of this article has been discussed. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 13:12, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. It has been brought to my attention that the actions of this editor in restoring the page were legitimate so I apologise to Neilpine for the accusation of bad practice. However, I still do argue that the page should be deleted due to the reasons given by me and other editors. G.R. Allison (talk) 14:12, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. I feel it important to point out to everyone that the subject of this article on India being a rising power, is already covered over at the Potential Superpowers article. That article contains a well sourced section regarding India which does not consist of SYN, OR or NEO making the the 'India as a rising superpower' article redundant in addition to the previously listed flaws. The 'India as a rising superpower' talk page contains further information on this point. G.R. Allison (talk) 14:39, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:SYN POV piece. This is an essay not a encyclopedic article. --Sodabottle (talk) 15:43, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete for reasons I've expressed in the talk page. Swedish pirate (talk) 15:58, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete If there is anything not covered elsewhere merge into either the India article or a super power article, but otherwise delete is an unneeded PoV fork Monty  845  16:23, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete It's been awhile since I looked at the details of deletion and undeletion policy, but this article should not have been created, as it's a recreation of the article India as an emerging superpower, which was deleted (actually redirected) after extensive discussion (see e.g. Articles_for_deletion/China_as_an_emerging_superpower_(fourth_nomination)). --Akhilleus (talk) 19:23, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Speculation and synthesis; an argument and a puff piece. Not encyclopedic. Quigley (talk) 21:16, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
