The result was redirect to Jagran. Clear consensus to not keep, but all over the place on alternatives. A redirect seems like a reasonable middle ground. Given the total lack of sources and limited material, a merge doesn't seem like it would be the best choice. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:47, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Jagaran

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unsourced, short, no references found on it, probably not even real, not notable. Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 00:42, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete instead as my searches have found nothing noticeably better, nothing else convincing to suggest keeping and improving. SwisterTwister   talk  20:32, 1 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Culture of India § Miscellaneous where mention of the topic exists, and also as a valid search term. A few sources exist that provide mentions, (e.g. ), but not finding significant coverage to qualify an article. North America1000 05:47, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment It seems this is a duplicate article of Jagran. However, it doesn't seem like a hoax. Let me find sources for this. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:23, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Jagran which deals with the exact same topic. We don't need 2 articles on the same topic. However, I believe this topic is notable enough to warrant its own article as it seems to be some kind of cultural/religious practice where devotees stay awake all night and sing devotional songs. Searching JSTOR, I found Fire and Wakefulness: The Devi Jagrātā in Contemporary Panjabi Hinduism which deals with the exact same topic. (If someone has access, please have a look). There was another article Know how you can organise a Jagran at home (although I am not sure how reliable), but it at least shows that this is some kind of folk worship in Hinduism. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:56, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge into Jagran per Lemongirl942. The current content of the article might be unsourced but it doesn't look particularly dubious, and it doesn't duplicate the text at the target, so it seems merging is better than just redirecting. Uanfala (talk) 19:50, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm usually hesitant about merging unsourced content. In this case, I wasn't able to verify the text at all. Hence my reason for a redirect. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 19:53, 2 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Note. It turns out the creator of this article was apparently very fond of creating articles without searching if they already exist at a different spelling. Most are duplicates (but some aren't). The majority of them have subsequently been redirected, some haven't. I've started to go through them now. Uanfala (talk) 21:23, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
