This article is a hoax.No such nationalist or separatist movement has existed in India. You see none of the sources quoted in the article refer to such movement, which can be called Marathi nationalism or separatism. Slathuri (talk) 13:31, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * This is not a hoax, as can be seen from the reliable sources found by the Google Books and Google Scholar links above, which (or at least the books) were the basis of the previous decisions to keep this. I agree that Marathi nationalism hasn't had a major impact, but it certainly exists or existed. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:30, 14 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: We know there are some sources in the article, but none of them directs to any nationalist stance by Marathi people. It rather says about regionalism, which is present in all Indian states. Please go through sources.-Slathuri (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:34, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Your support for deletion is implied by the nomination, so there's no need to bold the word "delete" here. My comment wasn't based on the sources in the article but on those found by the Google Books and Google Scholar searches linked above, many of which are reliable sources specifically discussing Marathi nationalism. Notability may be questionable, but this is certainly not a hoax. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 10:58, 15 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Will you highlight some of those sources and also quote what do they say which indicate any marathi nationalism? -Slathuri (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:03, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Per nom. More of OR and seems to have very less with verified sources. Not neutral completely. --βα£α(ᶀᶅᶖᵵᵶ) 06:58, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
