Satyagrahi

Fails WP:NFF. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 06:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC) 
 * Comment Without reference to notability, this term should almost certainly be a redirect to satyagraha, and the content if kept at Satyagrahi (film). Least surprise principle, etc. --Dhartung | Talk 07:11, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. It shouldnt be redirected for obvious reasons. NN, V, and fannish. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 10:29, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. What are those "obvious reasons"? The word vastly predates the film. --Dhartung | Talk 19:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. check the spelling. :) One is a about a film, the other a philosophy. Why would we redirect it? It should be deleted. One page has nothing to do with the other. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 21:11, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment See declension. See satyagrahi: an adherent of satyagraha. See our own article satyagraha in which the word is already used. See Non-Violent Resistance (translated from Satyagraha) by a gentleman named M.K. Gandhi, in which he answers the question What can a solitary Satyagrahi do? with some philosophical advice. --Dhartung | Talk 22:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I still fail to see how a film page should redirect to the philosophy. The film isnt even in the making anymore, its shelved. If it was a page about the individual practitioners of the philosophy that would be ok. Maybe a brief description of the movie can be added to the Satyagraha page, but this can be done now and redirected without discussion. As the page stands, it should be deleted. You can make any changes without my interference. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 00:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment You seem to be confusing WP:MERGE with WP:REDIRECT. They are separate actions, although it is true they are often done in conjunction with one another. I have no opinion on whether the film article should exist, but the term satyagrahi, which the filmmakers chose to use as their title, is best known as an adherent of the discipline satyagraha. Both terms were coined by Mahatma Gandhi. I am not advocating that information about the film be merged into satyagraha, if that's what has sparked your concern. I am advocating that when someone types satyagrahi into the search box, they are sent to the article we already have on satyagraha. --Dhartung | Talk 06:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I assure you, I'm not confused. Mentioning additions to the satygraha page was only an option if you wished to persue it. I do see your point about the title of the page and redirecting after deletion is up to whoever recreates the page. SynergeticMaggot (talk) 07:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge the useful content to the director's page. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 05:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
