 * Comment: The above are not policy arguments for keep. We'd need reliable sources to show that the term is used and notable enough to have a page as per the WP:GNG and the WP:RS.  The author asserting things does not count for very much in a AfD discussion. JMWt (talk) 11:36, 19 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. We already have Coastal South West India. None of the references added to the article even mention the term "South West India". Yes, you can find the term in several books, but not in the context of "Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu, parts of Tamil Nadu" -- the books generally use this term vaguely, to describe anything from Malabar region to Kerala + parts of Tamil Nadu. Much of the information in this article is copy-pasted from other articles such as History of Goa, History of Karnataka and History of Kerala. utcursch &#124; talk 15:29, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

wikipedian has the right of copy editing user: utcursch. read about wiki well. i have seen more than 5 articles which are mostly copy edited. in article coastal south west india the info is only about coastal area.user: utcursch do you know anything about india, the north region, the south, the east or the west parts of india. south west india refers the states of india in the direction of south west. read the article well.i knew that you re a indian in canada, but i can't think how can you forget the directions and states of our country in the directions. sorry if i had written anything harsh. --wiki tamil 100 18:33, 21 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki tamil 100 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete at best as anything considering how it may be acceptable, this would need to be deleted and restarted at best. SwisterTwister   talk  05:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
