Pink Revolution in India

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Pink revolution can be a lot of things, from feminism to buffalo meat to pork. It is an everyday term used everywhere. There are articles that tackle these separately, feminism in india etc. There is no need for a new article. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 17:23, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep This article passes WP:GNG with numerous relaiable sources. And this is a widely used term in Indian agriculture sector. If nom feels multiple sectors used the term, it should be mentioned in the article separately instead of deleting. - The9Man  ( Talk ) 06:43, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * @User talk:The9Man What I am saying is that it is not a term at all, just a figure of speech like saying whitewash. We dont have an article whitewach in india and never will because it is not a term, its a figure of speech. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 08:33, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment The term Pink Revolution is taught in textbooks in India. Those who appear for the country's highest Civil service examination prepare for this. This is explained well here.
 * Some other links on the topic here.
 * There may be other sectors or newspapers using this term for other matters, but that does't dilute or change the fact.

 * Keep Wikipedia depends on WP:V, not your personal preference. Subject meets GNG and appears to have received significant coverage for over 6 years now. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 07:44, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * @User:Harmanprtjhj your sources actually prove my point. They are using it just as a figure of speech, not for any particular phenomenon. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 08:33, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * No policy says that we cannot create article about this subject. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 06:00, 5 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep No policy based reasoning provided by the nominator. Capankajsmilyo(Talk 07:46, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * @User:Capankajsmilyo policy based reasong is that this does not belong on wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a dictionary WP:NOT. this is a figure of speech. It is used for a number of different things according to the time, place and context.

So according to policy, phrases and figures of speech belong in the dictionary, not in wikipedia. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 11:17, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep meets WP:GNG. If you think that the article is ignoring any supposed "feminism" connection then you are free to add about it there. Otinflewer (talk) 09:09, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep No evidence of BEFORE, AfD is not clean up. Simple search turns up multiple independent reliable sources showing connection to discussions on India's agricultural development since at least the early 1980s. Also notable for Modi's politicisation of the term.


 * Whether this should be Meat production in India or another name is certainly an apposite question (although I would disagree given the way in which the term has taken on political strength due to saffron politics), but not one for AfD. Regards,--Goldsztajn (talk) 17:09, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
