Story of Jatila

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Hindu parables, primary source text, nothing else, no secondary sources. Unsuitable for Wikipedia, at best transwiki to Wikisource. Huon (talk) 13:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

*Keep — There are similar articles in wikipedia, for ex: List of parables told by Jesus (few of these parables are based on Primary source text), The Rooster Prince, Blind men and an elephant, so I see no harm in having them., but if the consensus is to delete these articles, we can definitely move them to wikiversity / wikisource. But yes, the quality of the articles needs to be improved, by adding citation templates, removing "Sri" according to the wikipedia guidelines. Thank you. -- vineeth (talk) 16:04, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete — After reading Huon's comment, I am changing my vote, I strongly feel that the parables should be moved to wikisource, And there are several parables of Ramakrishna which are very interesting, but not notable to be included in wikipedia. Thanks Huon! -- vineeth (talk) 16:11, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - not notable. Millions of the stories like that are made up. Wikidās ॐ 12:30, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - the articles are a repository of text. Maybe useful for wikisource, but these aren't encyclopedia articles. -- Whpq (talk) 16:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Per List of parables told by Jesus. The following two are among many of those Parables of Jesus that are entirely text from the New Testament: The Birds of Heaven and The Test of a Good Person. And then read WikiProject Countering systemic bias. The lead of that WikiProject is directly addressing this type of situation. So rather than delete, articles should be kept and allowed to be expanded. ~ priyanath talk 04:09, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is no reason to keep an article. I have already informed the Wikiproject Christianity of the horrible state of some of the parable articles. If they don't take action soon, I'll nominate Jesus' parables for deletion, too. Judging from some of the better Jesus parable articles, secondary sources are likely to exist for them, though - I'm not convinced secondary sources exist for these stories.

 * Comment - I have added Parables of Ramakrishna to the list above. Regards, Ganeshk  ( talk ) 03:17, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Thanks, Huon - the fact that the Jesus parables existed for 2 1/2 years without any challenge does indicate a certain bias on Wikipedia (though I'm not at all implying a bias on your part, and never intended it that way). Having seen some other notable India-related articles nominated recently, even though there were reliable sources to support their inclusion, I can be a bit touchy about the systemic (and unintentional) bias. Moving the individual parables to Wikisource is a good idea. ~ priyanath talk 05:11, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
