Indian Maoists

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

POV, and highly confusing, fork of Communist Party of India (Maoist). Soman (talk) 15:18, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

U ser:Soman is not allowing others to Contribute. User:Soman is disrupting important information that was requested by Politicians and others to create. All refferences with pages have been provided. User:Sonam seems to be incooperative by nominating important articles and related articles which must be made. User fails to Understand Recent activties and Joint Operations which have been taken place recently. --TigersRus (talk) 09:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC) Comment by blocked sock puppet struck out at relist.

 * Keep -- Information seems to have enough Resources --ThambeEeE (talk) 12:03, 21 February 2008 (UTC) !Vote by blocked sock puppet struck out at relist. Tikiwont (talk) 09:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Three other related AfDs and disruptions of the process are discussed at ANI. -- Soman (talk) 12:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I have no knowledge of the accuracy of the content. While on related subjects the two articles are obviously different.  TigersRus's complaint also appear on the ANI page cited by Soman.  He reverted against some one who removed an AFD tag, but that is the correct action.  I have not seen what is happening to other articles such as Communist Party of India (Maoist), but it would be better if its editors made a habit of signing in before editing.  If the complaint is that the article is inaccurate, it should be corrected.  If it is a fork of Communist Party of India (Maoist), there might be a case for merging it back, but this one seems to be about a guerrilla organisation, not a clandestine politcial party.

 * Comment. There is no organisation called 'Indian Maoists'. A redirect to Communist Party of India (Maoist) is possible, but CPI(Maoist) are not the only Maoists in India. Indian Maoists could also redirect to Naxalite. My suggestion is to delete the article altogether, there's no info in it that isn't already available in CPI(Maoist) or Naxalite articles. also, TigersRus and ThambeEeE are sockpuppets. --Soman (talk) 21:06, 23 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tikiwont (talk) 09:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as plainly a POV fork. Mangoe (talk) 17:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete because this article is almost word for word the same as the article on Communist Party of India (Maoist), except with a clear slant, was created and primarily edited by numerous sockpuppets of a blocked user, and this user removed the AfD on several occasions calling it "vandalism" so this is probably created solely to express a passionate view against the group, rather than giving any valid information. An article under the same name with a different subject might be legitimate, but this clearly is not.--The Devil&#39;s Advocate (talk) 19:05, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, this article appears to be merely about the Communist Party of India (Maoist), which already has an article. Of course, a broader article on the topic of Maoism in India should be written, but this is not that article. Everyking (talk) 07:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment, the existing article Naxalite broadly covers the subject 'Maoism in India'. --Soman (talk) 11:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
